Sewing at Jenn's!

Last night Jenn had invited me over to her house to quilt. She made a delicious nachos supper and then I gave her the quilt I had made her. She loved it! I also gave her a matching pillowcase and purse and Wyatt's Baby quilt and burp clothes. Olivia seemed to think the quilt with the clowns could be hers. She loved the little wonder wallet I gave her and found all kinds of treasures to put in it.
Jenn with her quilt:

She was quilting a quilt and I had brought several small projects to work on. I made a checkbook cover and wonder wallet to go with each of the purses I made recently. Then I worked on a couple runaround bags and got them almost ready to be put together. I cut out a wall hanging I'm making for my friend and worked on the 4 patches, but I was getting tired so I quit after I got one set of the 4 patches done. I'm hoping to finish up the top tonight, but we'll see how much I get done.

We had some nasty wind/rain last night, but by the time I left it wasn't too bad. I'm so thankful it wasn't nasty driving home. I had a great time and can't wait to get together with Jenn to sew again. Thanks Jenn!

Baby Burp Clothes

Tonight I finished up a couple burp clothes I had started a while ago. They match two baby quilts I made, so they will be gifts to go with the quilts.

Clown Baby Quilt finished!

Tonight I finished the clown baby quilt. I had been working on the binding for 2 weeks and finally got it done while waiting for supper tonight. It feels good to have another UFO done, that means I can make a new project right? I'm shooting for one UFO finish per week this summer or at least the equivalent and only 1 start to finish per UFO finish. So far so good!

Clownin Around Baby Quilt II

When I was at quilt retreat I made the Triple Treat Petite baby quilt top from the Happy Hour book. I had some extra blocks, so I cut them in half and put them together like the tablerunner in the book. I had originally thought it would work well as a changing mat since it was so small. Once I got home and put the borders on the first quilt, it was huge, but I had some strips of the borders left over. I decided to put them on this small quilt and see how it turned out. Last night I was just going to put the borders on... well somehow I had lots of motivation. I put the borders on, got the batting and backing out, changed the settings on my machine, and put it on the frame. I spent about 2 hours last night quilting loops on it. It's 39x46, so a bit smaller than I normally make baby quilts, but the perfect size for a baby quilt. I have to pick up a bit more binding fabric and it will get that tonight and I'll work on the binding in the car tomorrow.

I used a King Tut verigated with primary colors and lime green bottomline. It turned out so cute and so lightweight. I used a Hobbs Thermore batting which is very lightweight. This will be a great summer quilt for a new baby I know. Since it comes in a queen size, I'll have enough to use in the flannel baby quilt that I'm making with the quilt as you go method.
