Bibs, Bibs and more Bibs

As fast as I can make these little bundles they are out the door. I moved on from just the bib of the month, where you get 12 bibs, one representing each month. Now I do dozens for girls, boys, Christmas, summertime and more! It's crazy. I used to use scrap fabric to make these, now I have to go hunt for novelty fabric that's got patterns just the right size for the bibs. I actually enjoy hanging onto them as the bib turns the corners and you can feel the fabric pulling. I really like sewing.

In The Garden

It's so rare that I actually use a pattern that I have to give thanks to my source, probably my favorite quilt book "Tesselation Quilts" by Christine Porter. She made a similar quilt called "Saturday Market" and I never had any intention of making that same quilt but I had gathered the fabrics to make a quilt and when I saw the pattern it fit perfectly.

Colors of the Sea

It's been a while since I did a big project, so this is big in size, but actually went together super fast. It's a panel from Hawaii, all I did was sew a border on it, make the backing, and quilt it together. Easy. The big part was it's size, it's a nice roomy twin size quilt. It's on it's way back to Hawaii next week, I finished just in time.

It's Summer! Maybe i'll get some sewing done.

This is the July wall hanging of the month, notice that June is absent. Where did the time go? I have a couple projects i'm working on now, so with the kids tracked back in we'll see what I can get done. This one was really fun, it's a moda panel and I snipped around the edges for a frayed border. I really like the effect.

A Dozen Bibs

It seems like lately I can't get anything finished. I have lots of UFO's at the moment but nothing complete. My only finished project is a stack of a dozen bibs for boys, in assorted prints. Although the achievement here is that I made 3 dozen, but only sold 1 dozen. So i'm ready for next time, unless I need girl bibs.

Washington's Sidewalk

Mom found some really fun fabrics the last time she was in Delta and sent some to me. I made up this block, thinking I would donate it to Fabric Boutique for their customer appreciation quilt. I didn't get it done in time, but now I really want to design a whole quilt around one fabric, made even more difficult by the fact that there is no more of the blue. I can always just enjoy it. It's a lot more fun to look at than the purple blocks.

April wall hanging of the month.

The pattern for the bunnies was modified but did originally come from Quick Quilts magazine. I used a coloring book for the egg shape, then sewed strips together and cut out the eggs. They are machine appliqued. I had a good time with the quilting too, close quilting around the shapes makes them pop out. A tight stipple on the yellow border, and flowers on the Peanuts fabric.

The whole thing is about 24x30. Bigger than the last few, so hopefully it will fill the space on Melissa's wall a little better.
