Couple of finished projects and a WIP

I have been a bit busy lately.  School is about to start and I have a "doula baby" I am expecting to make an appearance any day now.  So, not too much sewing going on. I did however get a couple of things finished and a new quilt started.

This is the layout of my next quilt.  There is white sashing between each of the rows.  I hope it turns out as pretty as I think it will.

I have been holding on to this fabric for a while, not sure what to do with it.  Then I saw this quilt, and I knew I had to make it. You should explore http://www.ohfransson.com/ sometime.  This is one very talented woman!

And I finished two car seat canopy's! One for a dear friend of mine....

And I decided to have something pretty for the lining fabric so the baby would have something to look at.

I just hope it's not too dark in there for her to see the butterfly's!

I love this one! I could not pass up this fabric.  I am going to put this one on my Etsy shop.  So if you know of anyone who loves cowboy's, let me know.  This one is ready to go out the door!

And this last picture is make you say "Awww".

Ain't she cute!?!



If you live in Knoxville....

There is this awesome new store in Knoxville called Cutie Tooties Cloth Diapers and Natural Baby Products.  Well, they are going to be selling these great bibs and burp cloths made by yours truly!!!  I am so excited!  So if you live close to the Knoxville area, go by there and see the shop!  She carries some really adorable items.  It almost makes me wish mine were still in diapers.  Almost. 

Love this bib!

Isn't this the most awesome bib ever!

More pictures of the Ice Cream Quilt

These pictures are so much better than the ones I took! Just look!

She just makes the quilt look better!

Just perfect! Don't you think?  Pumpkin seems to match her quilt!  All sweetness!

The Ice Cream Quilt

I know, it's a strange name for a quilt.  Especially since there isn't any pictures of ice cream on the fabric! When I finished the quilt top, I took it next door to show my neighbor.  She told her husband to come look at it, and he named it the ice cream quilt.  Said the colors made him think of Neapolitan Ice Cream.  What do you think?

This is my first quilt I did on my own without a pattern.  Not too bad for a first try. Don't look too closely, there are a few mistakes.

The colors, I think, go well together.  It seemed to come together nicely.  So I guess it does make a person think of Neapolitan Ice Cream. 

Maybe I can write up some simple instructions on how I did this.  I just drew it up on notebook paper and went to work.  What do you think? Oh, and I would have rotated the picture if I could have figured out how to!!!

My Etsy Shop!

Well I officially have an Etsy shop! I am so excited.  People have asked me several times if I had an Etsy shop to sell my things, and I finally gave in.  If you get a chance, hop on over to my shop and take a peek.  The shop name is MySewManyBabies.  I will be adding more things as I take pictures of them.  Right now my good friend Beth from Smith Studios is helping me with some photos.  I am not the best picture taking gal! Thank goodness I am blessed with talented friends. Take a look at her work.  I promise you won't be disappointed!

Zig Zag quilt finished!!!

I have had this quilt finished for a few weeks, but I couldn't post it until it was given to my friend at her baby shower.  You never know who might be reading your blog!!! And here it is....

I had a lot of fun making this quilt.  It was pretty simple.  It's using half square triangles and that's it.  The tutorial I used is from Lella Boutique.  You should go check out her blog.  She is very talented. You will love it!

This is it before it was quilted.  So simple but I love it.  I think I will make this one again. Sorry for the lack of pictures.  I thought I took more than the one of it finished. Opps! I will try to get some more on here of it.
