One little project

Sadie has been asking for beds for her dolls. She has been using the boxes the dolls came in for beds which has been working quite well actually. Yet, I felt like she needed something more. So, Santa found this set of beds on craigslist and then I created some bedding to go along with them, mattresses, pillows, pillowcases and quilts. They turned out quite lovely, I'd say...Sadie is pretty happy with them too.

Fraternal twins

Finally, they are born! These two quilts are from a pattern created by this talented gal. I wanted to have them finished when I went out to Oregon after the race, but didn't quite get them done.

However, they are now on their way to Oregon with my hubby who will be hand delivering them today to these two special ladies:




Love you Grandma and Ursula!

Sadie's quilt...at last!

Here it is. I have been working, slowly but surely and it is finished. Thank you to AmandaJean for all of the great tutorials to help me finish this quilt. And to Randi for her great fabric shop where I purchased the fabrics. I love how it turned out. It still needs a washing and I'll post more pictures when it gets on her bed!
   

Quilt Along

Elizabeth of Oh Fransson is hosting a quilt along. She is a self taught quilter and her work is amazing. I like her patterns too. For those of you who are interested in learning more about how to make a good quilt, this is a great opportunity to learn. I have bought my fabrics and am excited to quilt right along! Let me know if you join too.

 

This-n-That

Sadie's quilt top has begun the quilting process. Here it is pinned and I already have it on Velma being quilted. Hopefully in the next couple of days I'll have it done. Since this is my first time quilting a quilt on the machine I am being a little cautious.
 
In my quest to eat healthier, I made some of our favorite muffins today. This is Bob's Red Mill recipe called Bran Flax muffins. My MIL gave me this recipe and I love it because it hides veggies really well. Mason, my older son, who is the pickiest eater I know, will eat them. Try them out. See what you think.
 

Sadie's quilt top

Here is Sadie's quilt top all put together. I am really happy with how it turned out. Now on to the backing. This pattern can be found here.
   

Quilt fabrics

They arrived! Thank you Randi of Freshsqueezedfabrics. One of my goals for this year is to make quilts for each of my children. Sadie wants all things pink, but she also likes fairies. So she chose to have this quilt made in these fabrics with the fairy fabric on the back of the quilt. The green gingham will be the binding.
 
For Derek and Mason I will be making this quilt and this quilt with these fabrics.
 
I am really excited to get started. Mason's is supposed to be first as his birthday is coming up, but I really want to make Sadie's. Maybe I like all things pink too!

Quilted Bag

I had my first custom order from the craft fair I did. I usually make these bags out of prequilted fabric, but this gal had some fabric she wanted me to use, so I quilted it on my own. For my first free motion quilting project, it turned out really great, if I say so myself! Thanks for the use of your machine Lyric!
