Productive Day

Well, I finally buckled down and got a lot of work on two project done today.  First, and most importantly, I made major headway on my mom's (belated) Birthday gift.  Since she knows all about it, I think it's safe for me to post at I'm making her an iPad case.  She's a horse lover and I found this really wonderful horse fabric at on the Fabric Shack website (I cannot say enough good things about this store, other than the fact that their website isn't super user friendly).  I probably would have finished the whole thing today, but I realized that I had forgotten to attach the elastic, so I have some stitching to take out and, more importantly, some elastic to find...

I also started an other project.  I know, I know, the last thing I need is a new project, but this is actually been in my head for awhile.  When I went to Fabric Shack over Christmas, I found this great fabric that would be perfect for a baby/kid quilt for Jess and Nate.  Of course, I had just finished a baby blanket for them a couple months before, but this was too good to pass up.  With no pattern, or even ideas, I got a couple yards of three different fabrics.  Yesterday I got a few books out of the library and found a great pattern for this fabric.  I bought a couple more pieces online, but I have started cutting what I have.  I think it's going to be super cute.  My plan is to have it done by Theo's 1st Birthday.  This gives me a little more than 6 months... I should be able to pull this off :)  Photos of the start of the blocks to be posted in the next couple of days (hopefully tomorrow, but let's be honest, I might get side tracked!).
