Today we have a pretty full day ahead of us (my husband and I are going to see Harry Potter with some friends!!!). I wisely decided to use baby's nap time to finishing up some sewing projects I'm embarrassed to have had laying around for so long. I was inspired by Red Pepper Quilt's latest blog post of how to secure binding by the stich-in-the-ditch method. My first attempt was a disaster, but the second try I finished the baby quilt above (my first ever quilt-I came up with the pattern so go easy on me).
Julia, there is a special post coming to answer your (and your friend Jen's) questions. Until then I would check out Elizabeth's blog. She has a great quilt along posted which will answer tons of your questions!


The Quilt looks great! I like the coffee sleeves. I am going to make some of those this fall. That picture of your son cracks me up. I remember that time. It is funny because you want to laugh so hard but it is sad cuz they just do not get it! :)
ReplyDeleteI really, really, really want to see the HP. I started to read those when I was 15 (I am 27) I have been obsessed for the LONGEST time! But unortunently T does not like HP and J is just a little too young. I have to wait for it to come out on dvd and I will just buy it.
Have so much fun, but don't spoil it for me!
It was great! You will love it when you do see it. I have cooled down quite a bit on my HP obsession so I can totally relate. I started reading them when I was 16 (I'll be 25 a month from today!) so like I said, I've been there!
ReplyDeleteMy son crawled to a toy when we got home! Looks like he's getting some things. Oh, I just can't believe he's not a babyish baby anymore! I have a growing little man. I think that means it's time for another one. Good thing hubs is on board for lots of little ones!
your quilt is beautiful. i love the colors.
