I've Got My Work Cut Out For Me...

Literally. This week I'm trying to finish a few projects for the kids' bedrooms. I have a quilt top for Dallin's bed sewn, with the back all cut and ready. I just need to get some batting and quilt it on my machine. I've got bed skirts cut out and ready to sew onto fitted sheets for the girls' rooms. I've got muslin cut out for some redwork stitching to be done on them to hang on Morgan's wall, and fabric cut for curtains and a pillow sham for Morgan's room. I just dropped a scrappy red and white pinwheel quilt off to be quilted for Morgan's bed. Lots to do, and time is running out for me to finish before we get into our new house. I always have lofty goals...we'll see how far I get. Lest anyone think I'm favoring children, I do have Alex and Madison's rooms almost all taken care of already....

Cute Pincushion

I wanted to make a cute pincushion as a birthday present for a friend. My sister showed me one like this one that she had received as a gift. It was quick and easy, and I thought it turned out really cute!

My First Buggy Barn Quilt

I had never made a Buggy Barn quilt before and was intrigued by the idea. My brother's wedding was coming up, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try. I went and bought the fabric--mostly all of one line to make it easy, and got started on a weekend when Barry was out of town. It went together pretty fast. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that some blocks ended up with color combinations that I wasn't wild about. Since making this quilt, I've also done some Buggy Barn stars. I will post them later. This quilt was quilted by my mother-in-law.
