Party time!

Although I am still eagerly waiting till I can reveal the big project I have finished and sent off, I have been sketching and thinking of a few ideas.. 

Okay.. more than a few.

I have a big bin of fabric yet  I need to get to Fabric Depot because nothing in my stash is right for what I want..

I know you guys can relate. ;)

Anywho, this last Saturday my little girl turned 

TWO!

I can't believe it. 

And I don't know where the time went. :(

The child has never been sick in her entire two years of life.

BUT OF COURSE

She would get a cold the day of her party. 

Poor girl.

She still was incredibly spoiled and in a fairly good mood. :)

It was her party. She could cry if she wants to. Hah.

Mission Accomplished..

Now don't go thinking that I dropped off the face of the planet!

I've been gathering fabric around here, not to mention creating numerous amounts of WIPs.

(I need to start cracking down on those before I start anything else- ha!)

I got an offer last month to work on a project.

I can't say too much about it now besides the fact that I was very nervous as it was the biggest quilt I have ever made in my entire life.

I was scared that it would turn out like poo.

I worked every single night, well into the morning and yesterday I finished the quilt!

And took a few pictures-- before the hubby got grumpy.

And then delivered it.

2 weeks early!

I was feeling very proud of myself.

I can't share any pictures just yet- but promise I will soon.

Damn anxiety. Ha!

Miserable and Lazy.

Though I have been going for walks every day, soaking up the vitamin D

I have been pretty miserable thus far in my pregnancy.
I am almost 20 weeks and am STILL sick all the time.
And just feel fat and gross.

All new to me as I didn't feel this way with my first.

On the bright side though, my little man is so active.

And I forgot how amazing it is when you feel them kicking and squirming in there.

I've been pretty lazy with my quilting. 

Not sure why.
Could be the miserableness.

Or the exhaustion.

Or a bit of both.

Ha!

However, after my last post my friend contacted me and wanted me to make her a scrappy baby doll quilt for her daughter too. 

I took her up on the offer and got right to work that night and delivered it the next morning.

(She just lives down the street)

Scrappy front.

I seriously have found a new love for scraps!!

Backing was just some random material I have no idea how I accumulated. Ha!

 

First time using one of my labels. ;)

I always forget about these things.

 

More wavy line quilting.

Love! Love! Love!

 

 So now each of our girls have one. :)

Sweet Baby.

I have been lazy.

Oh, so lazy when it comes to my sewing machine.

But I have gotten the pieces cut out for a little boy quilt I am making. 

Which reminds me..
I found out the the baby I am currently growing in my belly..

Is a boy! 

My husband is SO excited.
I still can't believe I am going to have another baby.

Ha.

That being said, today while my little one was napping, I decided I needed to get crackin' on a baby doll quilt for her.
The reason for this being I find it so sweet, but so sad that she drags her big quilts around from off of her bed and drowns her dolls, little ponies and Barbies in them.

All of the pieces were taken out of my scrap bin. 

This is what I came up with:

Front:

(Laughing at the random brown fabric. Hah!)

Back:

The colors are a lot brighter in person.

I am just too lazy to go outside and take a good picture.

I quilted it with wavy lines which I've recently fallen in love with. 

:)

Perfect!

Now baby doll can nap comfortably.

My daughter loved it right away.

She was anxiously waiting for me to finish it while she ate her lunch.

It's made literally like I would a bigger quilt.

A layer of Warm and Natural in the middle.

Quilted.

Bound. 

:)

Productive day.

Favorite Color Combo.

There is just something about gray and yellow that I love.
It somehow just goes together so incredibly well. 

I had purchased a jelly roll of this fabric from JoAnn's as well as a charm pack.

And a yard of the gray fabric, which was my favorite. 

At first I had in my mind that I was going to make a quilt for me. 

One of my very own, but that has changed and this will probably end up being a child's quilt.

(Possibly to be kept for my new little one. ;) )

Please forgive the cell phone pictures that will follow. Ha.

Way too lazy at the moment.

 

I cut the jelly roll into 320 blocks.

Each 2.5 inches square.

I had an idea in mind for what I was going to do.

But as soon as I cut them.. a thousand (okay three) other ideas flooded my brain.

They all start with the same layout, so for that I am lucky.

I need to get to sewing.

I can't see what ends up actually happening. 

:)

Sunshine Girl

I have finally been able to get out with some sunshine and snap a few quick photos of my newest favorite quilt. ;)

I had to be quick because we were at the park and my little one is very adventurous.

Anyhow, I will be taking it out again, 

but thought I would share. :)

It's so pretty and girly. 

Over the weekend, I finished up my Spring Term classes for school.

Decided against my better judgement and decided not to take any Summer classes.

I'd like the spend the summer relaxing, sewing and reading.

And that's what I plan to do!

Hoping to make and share some awesome goodies over the next few weeks!

As I Promised..

As I promised in my last post, I do have something to share today. 

I am so glad that it's done, but a little sad at the same time because that means that it will be finding a new home soon.

I finished this quilt on Saturday late night/early am.

And I am in love. 

I knew I would love it when I started it.

Here is a small sneak peek at the front/ back/ binding. :)

I am waiting for the weather to warm up so I can take her out and do a proper photo shoot. 

;)

I also decided to branch out with this quilt and instead of straight line quilt it all;

I attempted some wavy lines.

Of all people my Husband told me he really liked it.

More photos to come so stay tuned!
