Things have been very busy the last two weeks. I needed to finish up three projects in time for a baby shower on Saturday. First on the list is this cute quilt made from a fabric called
Don't be Crabby".
The pattern is
Dapper Cannon from
Simply Retro. I think the fabric worked really well with the pattern.
This quilt measures approx. 40"x45".
I quilted with an all-over stipple. The backing is a multicolored polkadot.
The binding is a yellow dot.
The 2nd project is this cute quilt made with a lovely organic fabric called
Robotic. I love the little robots and spaceships. It's amazing how much softer and lighter the organic fabric feels than other quilting cottons.
This one was pretty simple. I used a cheater cloth and just added some sashing around the outer edges.
I stitched in between each block. It took no time make this.
The back is made up of 4 fat quarters and some yardage.
The binding is a cute print with little test tubes and lab equipment.
My daughter and I were in charge of making the shower favors. The shower had a garden theme, so here's what we came up with:
We purchased the pots and plants at IKEA. Since all the plants were just greenery, we decided to add some color with fabric flowers.
The flowers are basically just yo-yos on a bamboo skewer. It was a good way to use up some scraps.
We added a ribbon and a baby sticker. They were a big hit.
I did manage to squeeze in a couple of extra finishes.
These 5 burp cloths took me under an hour to make.
I also finished these potholders for my son and his fiancee who just moved into a new place. I used some scraps from a quilt that I had made for her a couple of years ago.
I have a few projects to finish up in the next few weeks, and then I plan on starting a couple of very ambitious projects just for moi.
Joyful stitching,
