A few more finished projects

I got the back put on my waterfall quilt- I love the print! I was off 2 days last week, and made the baby quilt too. Also broke my commitment to not go to the fabric store, and got enough for about 3 backs and one batting.

I'm home again today because my son got pink eye. That's ok (the staying home part) because I am working on another top for a queen sized quilt for my cousin. On top of that, making a few aprons for my 2 cookie days in the next month, and I'm the chair for the cookbook our fire department auxiliary is putting together. Our deadline is less than a month away now, and we hope to have at least 500 recipes. Our number is at 426, and there are still a lot of people who have said they will be getting us recipes. If anyone else wants to share recipes with me, be my guest!

Success!

My son had his first successful potty training night! I was so excited to get him to use the toilet. I hope we can keep it up and work on getting him out of diapers.

One other success was selling my 3D pinwheel quilt with stars on etsy today. Good thing too, I got one more sweater at the store today than I needed to have (but it could be a gift from Santa if I wait long enough to wear it...). One not so great thing is that I think I lost or threw out a basic quilt block book. I have searched high and low, and have not found it back. Guess I need to find a new one, darn, huh?

Thinkin pink

I just about have this top completed. I cut my strips this morning and hope to get the border on during nap time. The back will probably be pieced, as I am trying to use up some of my stash rather than buying more. (HAHAHAHAHAHA! Like that will actually happen!) I did purchase pink for the border, but should have enough in my tote for finishing it otherwise. Now I just have to decide if I am going to keep it or sell it once it is done.

I really don't need to keep another quilt, but it does look awfully cute.

Apron Pattern request

Anyone have any suggestions for a pattern for a retro style apron? I might check out my LQS tomorrow, but I want to try making some for my sister-in-laws for Christmas. A free pattern would be really cool.

More Progress

I love this 3D Flying geese pattern! And the prints in the charm packs I used are so cute!. It's from the Lollipop line from Moda, I think they aren't actually out yet, but I got these on ebay. I want to find something to match and add one more border around the whole thing.

New 3D Pinwheel

My latest finished quilt. I will probably be listing it on etsy shortly. I've done pretty well on that site, with 11 sales since about April.

Darning Foot is here

So I got a darning foot. How do I free-motion quilt?
