I've fallen sadly behind

on the posting, that is. And maybe the quilting. But I did finish off at least the preschool class quilt. It was much adored by E's teachers, and since she "graduated" to a new class this month, I'm happy to have finished it in time for the end of the year.

That's my girl's handprint, in the middle at the top :)

Quilt pic goes here

I finally saw some friends today and gave them the quilt I made for their new baby. I finished the quilt a month ago, but have been waiting to post pics until the recipients got it (not that they, or anyone, reads this blog, but it's the principle of the thing). However, I just realized that the pics are on my camera, and the cord to the camera is broken, so I haven't retrieved the pics. Anyhow, it was a cute multi-colored irish chain with a large outer space border to complement baby Max's space-themed nursery. Quite cute. Really. You'll just have to take my word for it, though, since there are no pics.

Edited to actually show the pic ;)

Doll Quilt, Part II

This is the doll quilt I made for Susan, using some leftover blocks from Sophia's baby quilt (they've been hanging around for a long time now, since Sophia was 6 in December!). I had fun with the embroidery, but discovered that my machine really isn't meant to do much of it. However, I'm pleased that I finished the project, considering my track record on swap-like things.

This is the super sweet doll quilt I got in my first ever quilt swap! Isn't it lovely and spring-y? Susan did such a lovely job, and the butterfly and bee buttons are so cute.

Now I owe her one - it's almost done, and I'll put up pics once I mail it off to her.

What are these strips? Pieces for the doll quilt I'm making for a swap (my first one).

stacked coins baby quilt

A friend that I've known since college just had her first child. Yay for baby boys! I sent her this quilt, made from the great stacked coins baby quilt tutorial at the moda bakeshop. The "coins" are from my fabric stash, and the background is kona cotton in snow.

E's Christmas apron

I finally decided to create a blog of my crafting efforts. I'm adding this one even though I made it months ago, since it's so dang cute :) I made this apron for Miss E just in time to bake Christmas cookies last year. Made based on the adorable Montessori Child's Apron pattern. Luckily, Miss E was very happy with it (almost 3 year olds can be picky).
