plain 2 pretty

I think I may have figured out a problem that I have.

If I have a project that takes too much time--I get bored with it and don't want to finish it.

Then I find something like this to make... and I'm happy! (why is this underlined?)

Not sure if Morgan will even wear hers (I was just using what ribbon I had in my stash) Sydney of course will wear hers and I'm going to make more. They were super easy and took less than 10 minutes for each pair. Even thought about doing my own... then thought again!

From Aunt Jenn

Today my sister, Aimilee is having her baby shower in Utah and I don't get to be there. Boo hoo!
I made this quilt for my little niece who will be joining us at the end of September.

Hope she likes it!

I also made her a car seat tent and totally forgot to take a picture! (maybe Aimilee will take one for me!) It was super cute and I hope it works because she has a car seat that has a z handle thing going on and I didn't have one to use to figure out where the straps should go!

Hope it works!

Another...

This blanket was so easy and fun to make!! I guess they call it a rag quilt (even though I did not use one single rag...) It turned out a lot bigger than what I was planning for. I was going for a baby blanket but ended up with a kid size blanket. No worries though-- I'm sure it will find itself a great home. I used whatever flannels I had. I was able to shrink my stack by a lot and make room for some more!! :)

I already have the next one cut out with smaller squares and ready to be sewed. It's for a little boy and I've already got in mind who it's for.

Ragged Quilt

It's done! I love this quilt and it was a lot of fun to make.
All you need to make this quilt is:
9 inch squares in different colors
6 inch squares in different colors
3 inch squares in different colors
Sew them on top of each other with raw edges on the outside.
After all the blocks are sewn together and your rows are attached
it's quilting time. With a walking foot quilt around each square, so three quilt squares on each block. (plus the two stitch lines when you sewed the squares together)
batting, back and binding is next.
Then wash and clean up the strings a bit and you are done.

If this did not make sense at all.... Let me know and I'll do a step by step tutorial! :)

I also finished my sisters baby blanket but can't post that till after Saturday! Don't want her getting a sneak peak!

I'm Back...

I'm back and I'm busy! Nothing to post yet but will soon enough!
