Plans!

We will be having a Baby Wayne, as opposed to a baby Doris coming October.  Finding out the sex of a child is AWESOME, especially when it comes to making a list of all the cute things I am going to make him and how I am gonna decorate his room.  First thing I did?  Ordered the cutest fabric EVER!  Check it.   Except that I am going to use some green and I did not get the polka dots.  Polka dots are pretty feminine so I am going to find some more masculine patterns to go with it.  But the bikes?  YES.  I really wanted to find some cute robots and things, but I just loved this Michael Miller fabric.  The quilt I am going to make is this one from JayBird quilts.  It is called Unwind, which I bought months ago.  I thought it would be cute for any Doris or Styles!  Since I don't know where I will be bringing the little darling home to, that is as far as I have gotten.  I am considering making him a blessing outfit, but I also kind of want him to wear the outfit Rad and Roo have worn. I don't know.  I will figure it out when I get settled in AZ!  Happy Sewing!

Chrissy Pressies

That is Christmas presents.  Santa has been slaving away making Chrissy Pressies for my lovelies, you know who you are!  First up!  I finished this gem this afternoon.  It is even insulated.  I learnt a few things while making this and the first is that I need to make sure I read the directions thoroughly, especially what the seam allowances are meant to be.  Secondly, interfacing thickness is a big ish.  Anyhow, I might keep it for my own self.  Friends, look out for a package from me!

Secondly, I have a new niece.  Reagan Elizabeth.  Said niece has a new quilt and doesn't even know it.  Crank your necks, loyal readers, she's a beaut!  Circles suck.  Nuff said.

Lastly, this is for a dear friend!  I hope she likes it.  I think I'm gonna make a few more for my less fortunate friends that live in colder places than AZ, although she will use it, I am certain!  Fleece is the ballz, for sure.

Lots more Chrissy pressies to come!

Little Boss

My sis-in-law is having a baby gurrrl in a few weeks.  I am making this quilt for the babe, which I will call Little Boss (the quilt, not the baby).  The baby is going to be named Reagan, but I am pulling for the spelling to be a little more modern: Reighganne or Rayghann.  I find the modern spelling quite hilarious.  Like Emmalee.  Kills me when I see that.  Anyhowzit, here is a sneak peak of Little Boss!  I still have another row of 6 to put on it.  I bought some eyelet fabric that I am going to use for the border.  I heart the fabric!  And the circles.  The only thing was that cutting 3 inch circles was not fun. at. all.  In fact, I got half way done cutting the circles and decided to incorporate the solids into the quilt instead.
