Photo Free Friday

Things I learned on Thursday...

• I am not good at all things fabric.
• Stuffed animals are very hard and very time consuming to make.
• I'm not good at hand sewing.
• I'm not fast at hand sewing.
• When you drop scissors (the pointy kind that can cut leather and stuff), point down onto your foot it doesn't bleed a ton, but really hurts.  And bruises.  And makes you think that maybe you've chipped a bone in your foot.  Then you think that maybe you've watched too many episodes of Bones in a row and that your foot is fine and you're not going to die, it's just going to hurt for awhile.
• Did I mention that I'm not good at making stuffed animals?

Good Use

Danielle sent a picture of  her newborn sleeping on the baby blanket I made.

A Boy Who Loves His Banky

Remember that cute little ballet blanket I made?  Well, someone has decided that I'm not selling it and that it's his.  He sleeps on it every night and a large portion of the day...  I guess it's his!

 

  

In Progress

Here is a boys' quilt I'm making.  It's a play off of a photo of a quilt I saw online.  When it's done, I'll probably make a girl's version too.  I think it's really fun.

It's A Small World After All

This fabric actually has nothing to do with Disney, it just reminds me of all the 'dolls' dancing and singing and loving each other.  Regardless, it's actually Alexander Henry's "You and Me" fabric.  I have to say, I'm really proud of this one.  I came up with this one all on my own, design, fabric, concept, etc.  Pretty sure this one is going up for sale...

  

It's Done!

I finally finished the It's A Small World quilt.  Real pictures to follow later, but here's a sneak peek...

Two In Progress

Despite my lack of writing over the past few days, I have been hard at work on two baby quilts and I have to say, I'm pretty excited about both of them!

The first is the quilt that I've been working on for months called the "It's A Small World" quilt.  This one will definitely be finished tomorrow.  Here is a picture of my helper hard at work on it

The second is a play on a quilt I saw online.  Here are two of the blocks.  I hope to have this one finished tomorrow as well- definitely by Friday.  I'm not making this one for any particular reason, so it'll go on Etsy.

I'm hoping to have a big post on Friday after I have them both finished!

On a side note- does anyone know how to get yellow chalk out of cotton?  Washing did not work...
