Quilting Kitties...

Malcolm and Emma decided they needed to help with my latest quilt... It's supposed to be a "fast" quilt but with all the kitty moving it isn't going very fast at all!!

Fairytale Quilt

So I'm in the middle of a "fairytale quilt" for Anasofia and Gabriella.... its much more time consuming than I could have ever imagined (who would have thought hand sewing a quilt with a million tiny pieces would take a long time??!!...). But I'm really proud of it, and I actually like the way its coming out (thanks to my test quilt that answered a lot of my questions through trial and error, and Adam's mom who explained the whole process and gave me the most helpful advice about piecing the layers together!!). Although when it finally is finished (I guesstimate about another 6 months) I think I'll be taking a break from the intense hand quilting world and trying my luck with machine quilting!!!

Test Dress

I know how to follow directions!!!
Seems like an easy thing to do, but for me that's a very serious undertaking!!! But it paid off in the end because now I know how to make dresses for little people (which will also *hopefully* open doors to making them for regular sized people).
I made this "test dress" for Anasofia, just to get an idea of sizing and to practice the whole cutting and sewing thing. It was much easier than I expected and, aside from all the pinning, it took a lot less time than I thought it would! And of course now I have 100 that I want to make!!!... Sofi and Ella better not grow up too fast!!!

Scrap Quilt

I finished my first quilt!!... finally.
Granted, there are a few "unresolved issues" but nothing too serious, and nothing that will diminish my sense of accomplishment.
