As you know, I have started sewing and loving every minute of it! I just can't get my priorities in order. I would rather sew than clean, do laundry, cook supper, ya know all of that REAL domestic stuff! I have finished one quilt, but started several others! My grandmother's is just waiting for me to quilt it and then it can go home to her. I plan to start posting picture, (GASP! WHAT!?!), of my projects!
So here is the most recent finished project. My friend Kim had twin baby boys the first of this month. Of course, I never deliver gifts on time, so she will be receiving these sometime before their first birthdays! I have finished the blue baby quilt and have the red one to do. These were very easy and I could have finished one in one afternoon, but.... Steve and Henry didn't agree with my idea of Sunday afternoon fun!
These quilts are so soft! It has chenille squares on the front and the entire back is chenille. When I showed it to Steve, he wanted to know why his quilt didn't have that "soft stuff" on it! Guess he'll be getting another. I am participating in a Quilt Festival at http://www.amyscreativeside.com/2010/05/bloggers-quilt-festival-spring-2010.html. I wish I knew how to get her cute logo uploaded, but I haven't figured that one out yet!
IT FINALLY WORKED!!!
This wil eventually become the second quilt. Hopefully I can get to it sooner than later, so these don't end up being birthday presents!
For those of you that care nothing about my latest obsession, this is a little HI fro Henry! Thanks to the sunbrella on his new sandbox from MiMi, he got to play in the downpour while Steve and I watched from inside the house. Henry would wave and blow kisses and say cheese until the thunder rumbled! He was done then! His little legs couldn't get him in fast enough!
Buzzy was surprised with some special graduation gifts and wanted to send Thank You notes. He did a great job with his writing. He told me what he wanted to say, I wrote it, then he copied it into his cards.Stay tuned! More crafty stuff to come!

Such a happy baby quilt and with the cheille it will encourage snuggling! Can't wait to see the red one!
Cuddly quilts are the best and this looks like the kind of quilt that will be dragged around everywhere and loved to pieces!
So glad to see you back! Well, it looks like you have more than two readers. I'm the 5th to comment!!! Love the beautiful quilts. Good work! Your boys are so sweet and cute.
Nice quilts, ........ and there's nothing wrong with birthday quilts. By that point, the baby enjoys it as much as the mommy !
i've heard it said that if you work on your quiling for 15 minutes every day, at the end of the week you will have worked on it for almost two hours. you can accomplish a lot in that amount of time. and about the cleaning thing, why not wait until tomorrow, you're going to have to do it again anyways!! ;>)
Those quilts are soooo cute. You are really talented. I wish I could do something like that.
Go-Girl, you are doing really good, the quilts are beautiful.Just wait till you make a pillow case with crochet for the trim.
The baby quilts are so cute!!! Cant wait to see the finished products of both! Buzzy looks like a grown boy in that picture!!! Cant believe he will be a 1st grader???? And little Henry....I could just squeeze those cheeks. Cant wait to see yall this summer
great baby quilt. cute about little henry and the thunder--agree totally. spent about a year in kentucky at fort knox and left there with our little golden haired baby boy--now 36!! at 8 mos. pregnant with a 2 1/2 year old little girl we experienced spring tornadoes--not a fun time, but no damage for us.
Great quilt--and your blog makes me smile. :)
