Projects

It seems like I always have a sewing project going on. My friend Kathie (a.k.a. Master Quilter) convinced me that I can machine quilt. So I tried it! My friend Amy is having a baby in a few days, so I thought it would be fun to start with a baby quilt. I fell completely in love with this floral fabric...NOT AT ALL BABY...but TOTALLY AMY. The lady at the fabric store asked what I was making, when I told her a baby quilt, she gave me a terrible are-you-crazy-this-is-not-a-baby-quilt kind of look. I don't think she liked it, but I'm still in love with it. I must say, I'm pretty proud. I kept it very simple due to the loud print. Now the problem...we don't know if Amy is having a girl! If it's a boy, I'm in trouble.
Next project: Since my same friend Amy is having a new baby, they have to move their 17 month old, Aiden, (the little guy I babysit) into a big boy room. He is OBSESSED with cars and wheels, and horns. So they thought the best way for him to LOVE his new room would be to do it in CARS. They bought Aiden a toddler race car bed and I'm making the bedding and curtains. It's turning out really cute. When all is said and done I will have to take pictures of his room. I think he's going to LOVE it!
