Baby quilt is done...

A co-worker is having a grand baby boy due in a couple of months and asked me if I would make a quilt for him. Daughter in law picked “woodland theme” to decorate the baby’s room.

She is an older friend, so I sat down with her and looked on Etsy and found some material to what she described. She picked it out, then I bought it for her.

She said she would pay me for everything. Materials, time and quilting.

I agreed, knowing that she has no idea what all goes into making and quilting a quilt.

11 hours later, plus material.. she has a quilt. There is no way I am going to charge her and if I was, she would be flabbergasted at how much it would really cost. She is the sweetest friend. Amazes me that people think we can just “whip” these up and the cost is not very much. If they only knew!

And the softest backing EVER!

SOLD!

Went on the market Monday morning at 9:00, 4 hours later, a phone call.

That’s all it took! 60 days and we are on out way to Texas! Youza!!!

A little early... I am...

Here it is...

Happy Halloween... by Amy Bradley designs. Measures about 56 1/2” x 66 1/2”.

Without the binding on. 

It sat on the machine for like 3 days. I couldn’t get the courage up to free motion quilt it. So I just did an all over pattern. So I quilted it up, put the binding on..Did the sew on binding with the accent color in it.

And here it is... backing is pretty cute also.

When you look at the over all quilt, the faces don’t look bad with all the quilting lines on it. One of these days, I’ll get the courage. I want to buy the right rulers and get a different foot for the machine before I attempt it.

Looks pretty cute. I need to sew on the button eyes, then it will be done!

AAAHHHH!

Here it is! It’s for real now! We have climbed the mountain and it’s all down hill from here.

House hits the market next week. The photographer came and after 1 1/2 hrs of picture and drone taking we are ready to roll. My daughter in law snapped this picture while I was at work.

They have been here 2 weeks... and left this am.

Now I can get into my sewing rooms and start something up again.
