Tangie's Baby Blanket

I finished Tangie's Baby blanket last weekend. Of course, I finished it the day of the shower and I forgot to take pictures of the finished blanket. I will take some next time I see her and post in the future. :-)


Tangie left the blanket here when she was here for Thanksgiving so I snapped some pictures. The backing is the softest material. I really like this blanket.

Porch Swing Pillows

We recently purchased this great new house (this is why I am so behind on sewing) and this is my fabulous porch swing! It needed pillows so I made some this weekend. I absolutely LOVE this fabric, you may see more of it later.

May Block Swap

My first international block! This one is headed to Australia. The request was 30's prints. I am not so sure I accomplished this, but when I thought of the thirties I thought about those cool aprons they used to wear. The block is called "Another Star". I love stars.

April Block Swap

Yeah - I'm a little behind :-). I have so many blocks to catch up on. This is for my April Block swap - it should have been mailed already. It's called a waterwheel. She requested yellows, oranges and reds - something bright and different. I think I did a pretty good job meeting all of those requests. One of the exciting things about my block swap is that it allows me to make blocks with colors and designs I would not normally choose and since it is only one block I can have a lot of fun with it and pick things that are a little more detailed. I really like this block but it will be shipped off to Virginia in Pennsylvania on Monday.
Here is the block I received. Thank you Virginia.

Tangie's Baby Blanket Update

I've been moving all month so I have not had a chance to sew. It's been killing me. But in our new house, I have an entire sewing room! Yeah me!!!! So I finally got somewhat unpacked - enough for my husband to not kill me for sewing instead of unpacking ;-).

I started with Tangie's baby blanket. Her shower is next weekend so I have to get this done. I got the whole top finished and it is all pinned together. For the first time ever, I didn't have the thread color I needed to start quilting it together - Can you believe that? Especially pink (I have 2 girls so I normally have tons of pinks and purples). So it was put back to the side once I got it all pinned together. It is going to be really cute once it's done.
