New Project
This is a quilt with the material the husband got me for valentines day. There is this book store in the mall, Deseret Book, and they have the nicest most expensive material I have ever come across. So, I never buy material there, it is way too expensive. Anyway, the husband knows that I don't so my habit does not cost too much money, and he knew how much I loved their material, so he took me there to buy some on V day. So sweet! (He really knows what I like, no jewelry, no chocolates... material!)
On this quilt I learned how to do an applique. It is so cool!!! I love it, and now that I know how to use it, I will do it much more, on everything!
I just love the colors of this package of material, it all came together, sort of in a package deal, and I am actually following some of the suggestions on the pattern.
The flower above is really cute!
Here is a pic of the whole quilt. He also bought the family a really nice digital camera for valentines day, but it has not come yet. You will all have to suffer through my web cam pictures for another week or so. When we get that camera... I wont have to edit all my pictures in photo shop before I post. :)
So, this is just the front of the quilt. I am now working on the back and then will be putting it together. Maybe I will even quilt it before I bind the edges. There you go Ma. hahaha
This is a little dress I made for my niece Gwen, the husband's brother's daughter. She is 3 weeks younger than Nick, and actually born on my brother's birthday. I have never made her a little dress, so I thought it was about time. And, in the background you can see a poster I got in college from a dear friend; Jackie Kane. I love it, and there it is hanging in my sewing room for me to draw inspiration from. :) Gotta love "Dumb and Dumber".

This is a quilt I have been working on for a few months. It is the first quilt I actually used a pattern on. I found a great pattern in this sewing magazine I got, and copied the pattern with some different styled material. This quilt is for my friend Holly, she is having a little girl in a few months. The turquoise material in the middle is my favorite. I also plan to make a little dress with the same material. Anyway... I am hand quilting this blanket! It is all put together with the edges and everything sewn and done... but it is not quilted. I really wanted to find a machine quilter to do it for me, but had no luck finding someone in the area. So, I am hand quilting it myself. It is rather interesting and challenging. I will post a finished picture when I get it done. Let's see how long it takes me!
