November 2012

November was a busy month. I had to get four quilts finished. I was so relieved and tired when I finished the last quilt. Since then I have been taking things kinda slow, I am keeping up with my BOW that Rhonda is hosting.

BOW

Block #7 is embroidered but I have not sewn the attic window on to it.

Birdies

March

April

May

I made the boys pillow cases. This had to be the easiest pattern for pillow cases.

Moda Turnover
I was looking for something one day and this Moda Turnover that I have had forever and remembered a tutorial I had saw using the turnovers, she used a charm pack and cut them in half. Well I had to make one. I need at least one more package of turnovers for the center of the quilt. This will be Chelsi's Christmas quilt next year. I think I've had the turnovers for two years so I hope I can find more.

Finishes
Nikolas

Chelsi's

If you look on the right side of the photo you can see the backing I used for this quilt.

Aiden's

Greg's

I like the back of Greg's quilt as well as I do the front.

I'm kinda at a crossroad about blogging and I'm not sure how or if I will continue. I do enjoy recording my doings.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Trains, Firetrucks, Mater and The Lorax

I spent a day making part of the grands Christmas. Thought I would get the little item out of the way so I could concentrate on the big.

Nikolas loves trains.

Greg loves firetrucks and can spot one a mile away. I looked at a coloring page to do the ladder.

Aiden loves Mater. You know, Tow-mater. Aiden has Mater everything. Mater toothbrush, underwear, shirts, cup, etc etc. Did I mention Mater was hard to do?

Chelsi loves The Lorax which is a Dr. Suess movie. Chelsi waves at the Lorax, throws him kisses and laughs at him. If you haven't saw the movie, you need to, it is too cute.

Happy quilting!

Tote bags

The two younger kids needed "church bags". The bag needed to be big enough for two diapers and a bottle/cup with lid. I couldn't make Aiden and Chelsi a bag and not make one for Nikolas and Greg.

Enjoy your weekend!

Easter shirts

I am sewing I just don't seem to be making any quilts. I'll get back to quilting eventually.

Here are the grands Easter shirts.

This was the first time I made the boys shirts using the same fabric.

Happy stitching!

St. Patrick's Day

I didn't wear green today because I forgot but I have green eyes so I'm good. lol

Lacy's friend made Chelsi a top for today.

Those are her beloved Cabbage Patch dolls. I bought the cat one first not realizing they come out with another one each month. Chelsi kisses her babies and jabbers to them.

Since Chelsi didn't need a St. Patrick shirt I made her a Cat in the Hat.

Here are the boy's shirts.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Valentine Shirts

Of course I made the kids shirts for Valentine's Day.

I loved the little top Lacy purchased for Chelsi to wear for Valentine's Day. Lacy and I thought she could wear it after Valentine.

I found a site that has the trucks for every holiday and thought they were perfect for the boys.

Have a wonderful day!

Hats

So I made Chelsi a hat, then Aiden wanted one, then Nikolas wanted one. So I just went ahead and made Greg one.

Chelsi's hats

Every little girl needs a pumpkin hat.

And a cute little bunny ear hat.

A striped hat just because

The boys hats

Aiden's hat to keep his ears covered since he has so many ear infections

Happy stitching!!

Wordless Wednesday

Greg's gift to Chelsi

As you know I made things for the boys to give to Chelsi at the baby shower. Greg gave Chelsi a changing pad and a wipe/diaper case.

The changing pad is reversible.

The wipe/diaper case holds a travel size wipe case and 2 diapers.

If you need me I'm sewing.......Cindy

Kites

This quilt pattern was called Diamond in the Sky. I didn't like that name so I'm just going to call it Kites. This quilt is for Greg and I will use the my embroidery machine to embroider birds and clouds on it. I need to pick up some ribbon for the kite tails.

What color thread would you use to do the quilting?

Happy quilting!

Christmas 2010

The boys get gifts from so many relatives and friends, they get overwhelmed. So this year Lacy let them start opening gifts on the 18th. First gifts from friends, then the great-grandparents, grandparent and finally we were all out done by Santa.

Nikolas was in a Christmas play at his little school. He sang his little heart out and I think the cutest little tree.

Greg is having so much fun trying to take everything apart with his new drill. Safety first even with toys.

Our little Aiden is growing like crazy. He says Moma, Dada, hey and AJ.

Have a great weekend!

Today sewing

I have big plans for today. Hubby doesn't get off work until 8 tonight, should be home by 8:30. Can we say over work the machine?

2. Quilt Aiden's Cute Croc quilt.
3. Layer and baste My Flower Garden
4. Make more hexes.

What are your quilting plans for today?

Tie

I made the boys these ties for their shirts. They look so cute wearing them.

Happy stitching!
