Little things
Knitted leggings for the baby guy. matching pajama pants for all three kiddos from Dr Seuss flannel (and a coordinating blanket) some embroidery (went on a bag as a gift for my friend Lori, master...
Read MoreOverwhelmed by WIP’s Wednesday…
I had to take a blood test at the Dr this morning, and took some quilty books to look at while waiting for the hour to pass… As I did so, I reminded myself that I have several unfinished projects… I made a list… this is stuff that’s already been cut/started (but just fabric/yarn purchased/saved doesn’t count) it’s a little overwhelming, and on top of the fact that I failed my glucose test, (and therefore have to go back sometime soon for the 4 hour test, which is HORRIBLE), I’m feeling a little overwhelmed (or maybe just whelmed, since it means the...
Read MoreA boy doll for the Bean’s boy…
My daughter’s love is a little boy called Pickle (fate, right?). For his birthday she and I decided he needed a boy doll so he didn’t always have to play with the girl dolls. She chose the Eddie doll from Wee Wonderfuls, and we made it yesterday and today. I used the scraps from the t-shirt I made for D to make Eddie’s shirt. The Bean chose everything...
Read MoreKCWC cheat…
This spring’s KCWC doesn’t start till next week, but I’m getting inspired, so I whipped a t-shirt for D out tonight. All stash fabrics from the garage, pattern traced from a currently fitting shirt. I’m a little worried about how it’ll hold up, as it’s made from tissue thin jersey, and he has a GINORMOUS head, but hopefully it’ll fit (we’ll find out in the morning). even if he only gets a few wears out of it, it’s worth it to me, as every inch of fabric space is appreciated, and as each time, I gain confidence working with...
Read MoreCrockett pants
Im preparation for the new arrival…. a pair of wool longies (hopefully a long size 3-6m)… just because, I knitted the Fibonacci sequence in on one leg…. (starting on the left, with the orange: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and then the cuff…) I also drafted out a pair of 3-6m pants, with extra roominess for the cloth diapers, made with flannel Dr Seuss scraps from the back of the pennant quilt. I think they’ll be cute with a dark blue...
Read MorePre-wash
Here’s the quilt for our baby boy, as designed by me and the Bean. C bought me an early birthday present, a walking foot, so this was my first time using it. LOVE. here’s the back, pieced with scraps. here’s the oops on the back. just so I don’t get a swelled head. here’s the folded pretty sitting on the porch… and the original idea behind both quilts: I cut all these little triangles off as waste from the roof tops when I made this quilt, (Obvi I’m greedier than Angela, as I kept every little bit of these scraps!) and so I sewed them all...
