And other stuff too....

Of course I've been sewing too, can't help it!  We've actually been so busy in so many ways, and I haven't taken the time to blog.  But I decided that if I waited till I had time, I'd never get it done!  So hopefully there's more to come shortly, but till then here's a few recent photos I love. 

Doesn't he look like a pro?  This was at the Walker's house, guess we'll have to find him one!

I'd better get to bed, I need to get up in 6 hours!

But I did finish Beth's striped challenge quilt, all in a day!  I thought and thought about it for days, was intending to use sleeves cut from Tyler's shirts, then decided to just do a small one to get it done with and try something bigger later.  I've been working very hard at doing things I say I will, and this was supposed to be done by September, I believe. 

The rule was that you had to use lots of striped fabric. 

I learned that stripes are great for binding, but for quilt tops I prefer them to be mixed with lots of solids, other prints, etc.  More as an accent.     (the back)

Finished measurements are 24 x 24 inches.

The back is a "candy" flannel, and front is pieced from part of a  Moda Jelly Roll (Quilt Diva) that Marlene gave me.  I was determined to not buy anything for this project, and it worked!  Breanna is very pleased with the results, perfect for dollies.  =)

The rest will have to come later, what have you been working on?
