Results.....

I got sew (haha, crack myself up!) much done last night!





It was actually Friday night with a bit more on Saturday afternoon...but none the less....

This

Princess & the Pea top is part of my Project Hug them All. This is for my little niece Paislee. She and her twin sister, Kailia are turning two this week. I wanted to have both their quilts done by their birthday, but I don't think that will happen. You may have seen this on Moda Bake Shop. I got the pattern there. But I have made it a bit smaller then theirs. Kailia's is in the planning stages still.

I also got this top done

originally I was making it for my nephew Aiden, but I have decided to make this one for Jacob and do something different for Aiden. (He just got a new room with a sailor theme....I have something in mind that would go more with that)

And the last thing I did was ad the next step to the quilt along over at Crazy Mom Quilts.

I am loving how this is turning out!! It is very tedious, and the amount of seams on the back is unbelievable, but it is my favorite quilt to date!! (Don't I say that about each quilt I do?)

I think with all this accomplished, and my house even got cleaned, I deserve some vegging time with my favorite little girl, Taya, a bowl of popcorn and She's the Man.

Happy Crafting!

Big plans for Friday night...

yea I know not as "cool" as what I use to do as a young, hip kid....but I am excited about it!

Crazy busy!!!

I love summer time! Spending time with my kids, the warmth, gardening....so I have been absent from posting.

But I have still been crafting! In addition to a few swaps I have been finishing up for Two Peas

I made this quilt for Gunner. He celebrated his birthday last week and asked me for a quilt. So I made him this tetris quilt, he is so obsessed with videos games, it seemed perfect!

The back

Its bound in a black swirl and I used black thread to stipple it. That was really scary for me, I usually use white, so it was hard to use such a dark color, I knew that all my mistakes would show up! That makes quilt #2 for him. His other one was this one for his bed.

I have also been working on my quilt along that I am following from Crazy Mom Quilts

This is last weeks step, I haven't put on this weeks yet.

And to go with the swaps I have been hosting, I made these three cute RACs

for the winners of the best in theme in each recipe group. They are made with the little Altoids tins.

Hope you all are having as fun and productive summer as I am!

I am so excited to be guest blogging over on Pickup Some Creativity with Chris today.

Chris was one of the other competitors of SYTYC . She has a darling blog with great ideas!
The theme is sewing basics, right at my level! Go check it out if you get a chance.


 

I'm so proud!

Gavin has been working on getting his Wolf finished up for Scouts. One of the requirements was to make something useful. So with that as an excuse, I offered to teach him how to make a quilt...and I guess the summer boredom has gotten the best of him...cause he accepted!

Here he is with the finished quilt! It just right for a little lap quilt for him. I am so proud, he did everything on his own...including the quilting which can be quite daunting!

While he was working on that I made this little set for my niece's 4th birthday.

Its a tote bag (yea, I know, I am obsessed!)

Black apple doll

And a doll blanket.

I love that fabric! And I love it even more cause I found it in the remnants bin at Joann's so I got it for a great price!

Hope you all had a great 4th!
