These are ongoing. I love making these for the new babies at church. I love Chevron patterns. Can you tell I like Sarah Jane fabric. My sister Jenny got me into Sarah Jane's art a couple years ago. Now she has fabric. Could it be any better?

For my friend Monica's birthday. She is from Taiwan. Her son is in class with Kate. They have a lot of fun together.

I made some of these for me and my friends Whitney and Eliza. Love the fabric. I followed this tutorial

My computer is fixed, bring on the blog

I'm alive! I have a couple finished projects and some works in progress. Here they are:

This is my dear friend Emily's baby's dress, a little late considering she's six months old. My girlfreind Angie helped me make it. She taught me some cool stuff. She came up with her own pattern. She is such an awesome seamstress.

This is my oldest Nephew on my husbands side, Devin's blanket. He is 12 now and he is my facebook buddy. When we were visiting he said, "make me a quilt", ok :) I used all the old scraps left over from Spencer's blanket.

Super wrinkly hu? I love the houndstooth!

Here is a wall hanging quilt I wanted to try. I appliqued the star onto the fabric. It reminds me of the cool quilt I have from my great great grandma. This is for my friend Cissy from Uganda. I am going to miss her so much when we move in 4 months.

I just picked up some fat quarters I loved from this new shop in Madison The Sewcial Lounge. The owner is just darling and the fabrics are so great.

I picked up these three fun upholstery fabric from Joann and used the Amy Butler Pattern from This Book. I sewed in a zipper, two of them :) I was so scared. I conquered a zipper!!!!

Here is Jess's cozy blankie. Kate has the same one but with blue

I love these whales.

Here are the pages from my sister's kid's quiet book. It is there Christmas present...uh late. I'll post the cover when I'm finished.

sheesh! I LOVE my new sewing machine. One day I'll make something for myself. Next I'm off to conquer a dress with a pattern. Wish me luck.

Use it Up, Wear it out....

I'm trying to use up every little inch of fabric. Here are the quilts I made or am making and the 3 fun "leftovers" I get to use for 3 new baby quilts
