Wow! I did it!!


Tonight while the baby slept, I was able to finish the last lamb piece for her Quilt!! Now I just have to put it all together. The hubs bought me a sewing machine, so it might be a little easier! At any rate, I am glad to finally have this 5 piece project done!!! Happy Dance for me!!!

Wow! It's been awhile...But there is progress!!!


I have just been sorta in an "anti-computer" mood lately. My hubby and I went on a marriage retreat put on by our church this past week, and I went totally without internet for about 3 days, and it felt soooooo good that I have sorta been staring at my computer with disdain ever since I got home!

Which is great for stitchy progress!!! I am almost finished with "Sunshine", the last lamb panel for Alyssa's Quilt. I am out of the blue I need to finish filling in the sky, but I ordered it from Herrschners this past week and it should be here in about 2-3 weeks! I should have ordered it a long time ago, but I kept hoping my craft store would get it in, but oh well! It's on it's way now. I have been just working on filling in the white in all the clouds until my floss shows up. But I still have plenty of other things to do for the quilt itself (piecing) until it does get here, so there will still be progress just quilty progress not stitchy progress! Like the strips that will make up the border all need to be put together, and one of the borders is made up of 2x2 inch squares of alternating fabbies, I have LOTS of piecing to do! So, still have lots to do to keep me busy until my floss shows up! I think I may have bit off more than I can chew, seeing as this is really the first quilt I have ever made, but I want it to be something special for my lil' angel! Not just a couple squares of fabric thrown together. So, we shall see how it all comes out!

Progress...Sunshine

Well, I find it weird, that this is one of my most worked on progress pieces right now and for some reason I never put it on my Up for a challenge list...Oh well, I may have to change that. Here is my progress on Lamb #5.
I have been trying to work on it a little everyday, I actually ran out of the light colored blue of the sky, so need to get some more, but I keep pressing on with the HUGE sun, and working in the clouds, so there is still progress happening! i REALLY want to finish this one by the end of the month so that I can use most of next month to put the Quilt together, and have it done by the time my lil' Lyssa-Bear arrives in March. I have been having trouble getting comfy when I try ot sit for long periods of time to stitch or read though, so I have not been stitching AS much as I would like, but IF I can get this done before February then I'll be happy!
