Here's the apron that I made for Maria for Christmas. We filled the pockets with cake mix, frosting, and her own "pink" measuring cups and spoons, and a "pink" whisk. Maria enjoys baking and cooking with her mom, so we thought this would be a perfect gift. I picked out the fabric with her in mind because it is very girly and has a nice bold print.
This blanket I've been working on for awhile, but decided in the end, I really wanted to tie this quilt. So, we did the only thing we could do on a Saturday evening and went to the hardware store & bought four boards & clamps. So, here we go. This is our makeshift quilting station. Obviously, you normally should have more space than our small front room to do this, but alas, we do what we can! :) Hopefully, someone who is getting this blanket for her birthday will appreciate all of our hard work. :) 
Koda Tested. Koda Approved.
Two receiving blankets that I made yesterday. These are so simple - two flannet fabrics, and stitch with a surger stitch around the outside.
Adam was interested to see if Koda would fit well in the bag. The problem is that it is huge on him - he's actually all the way standing up. If you look closely, you can see his little body and little legs. :)
So, this is the blanket all pieced together. I'm going to now just add a small border and piece it to a backside & batting. I already have someone in mind for this quilt. :)
Here was another "quick" project that I did this weekend. I have seen a lot of books/sites with blocks, so I thought...I might as well! Adam was a sweetheart and closed the hole (from stuffing) by hand. He's a much better hand sewer than I am!
Since I have such a big amount of fabric to cut for my Sunbonnet Sue quilt, I needed a break and something quick to do. This is only half of what the quilt will look like, but I thought I'd include the unfinished project for fun. (Notice some birthday presents at use!!!)
Top to Bottom: Steps 3, 2, 1. So, I have been working on this quilt in small amounts of time. I had hoped to be further, but it has been a very busy week. I started during Conference last weekend cutting the smaller strips. I sewed them in between the three "Sues" then too. Then, today, I have put the strips on the tops & bottoms and connected them together. Now, all I have to do is add the longer strips on the outside, then add the brown strips all of the way around and bind it to the backside and batting. So much more to go!!!!
I made this onezie awhile ago, but am poorly well-trained in tying bows. So, I had Adam's Mom, Kim, tie the bow for me. :) Now, it is finally finished! (2 months later)
