No sewing going on here. We have just been too busy. But I have been collecting the materials needed to make some cute little baby blankets. I am using the embroidery pattern from Sewing for Sarah. It is called a blanket buddy, I hope to be able to do one on Monday.

One small finish

Here's a cute little dollie with her new blanket. She if off to the Smiles Project for the kiddies. this little blanket is the only sewing I have managed all month.

Here's the little $1 dolls from Wal Mart. Aren't they cute with their little sleeping bags from Sewing for Sarah.

Well, Tupac has definelty gotten fat since his first pic on this site. He is trying to get out of his cage to eat some more of my flowers he can see through the window.

My cabinet show in the last post is still sitting there waiting for its top. I had picked out a granite top, but one it got here, I decided I wanted to have a wooden top made for it. The great thing about this little cabinet is that it is on wheels. We can move it around for parties and bigger dinners. I am really happy about that.

its finally here

my new cabinet is here. its just a little addition to the exisiting kitchen. It is for all my red appliances, and to store my lap top in during the day while I am cooking.

Games for kids

Here's some cute little tic tac toe boards that I made on my embroidery machine. They are from Sewing for Sarah. These are also going to the Smiles Project.

More finishes.

These little bunnies are going to the Smiles Project. They are from Sewing for Sarah. So very easy and cute.

I tested these little soft elephants. Aren't they cute. Patti did a wonderful job on them.

I call this a hurricane quilt. When we had so much damage from a hurricane, a dear friend gave me a quilt made like this. I measured carefully, then made my own pattern, then came up with this from scraps. It is going to a dear aunt who just lost her husband.

Another yellow brick road quilt. It's already gone to a sweet little girl.

Basketweave

I usually go with light, soft colors, so this was a stretch for me. I do think it was cute once I was done. This blanket goes to a cute little grandson, of a friend of mine. She actually gave me a lot of her strips to make this basketweave.

Here's the basketweave from Bonnie's Quiltville.com. I liked the blue so much, so I started a green one of the same print.

I love finishes. This one was easy to quilt, but I kept getting lost and wondering around the quilt. I don't think anyone will notice.

My youngest daughters friend. Her baby shower for a cute little girl. I really didn't get many pics because I was busy holding a little newborn, which gave my daughter the chance to eat my sandwhiches. Hard to believe they grew up so fast.

My daughters puppy needed a new blanket, but being a baby he still chews on his blankets. I don't have a stash at all, I only buy what I need for a project, so we found a flea market that sells fabric for 50 cents a yard. So, I bought this cute stuff.

I used all my little pieces of batting, I used the fabric basting spray to glue it all down. Then glued down the top. It went together very nicely. Of course, little puppy has already pulled off all the binding.

I bought a kit of stars, they all blended together, so I added different fabrics, then I redesigned the quilt to this top. I really like it. It is off at the quilters.

I usually don't piece the entire backing, but I had so much fabric left over, that I did a king size yellow brick road for the backing. I have enough left over to make a lap quilt to hang off a chair.

I don't really care for the plastic clear sewing boxes, I do however love vintage cases to carry my stuff around in. This is my latest. I didn't have one like this.

Agggggggghhhhhhhhhh, I broke my big mat. Don't you hate when that happens.
