Another Bapron...

Hi everyone,

I made another Bapron tonight 

with some leftover fabric from the Zigzag baby quilt.

I love this pattern.

I'm going to add it to the gifts I'm giving my Sister-in-law.

I hope you like it. 

A finished Bapron

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

I spent the day with my daughter.

Her school went on a ski trip today.

She is terrified of heights and didn't want to go. 

So, we had a Mother/Daughter day.

It was a very nice day.

She made me pancakes for breakfast.

And I must say, they were very good.

We visited the local quilt shops.

I hadn't done that in a while.

I was good though.

All I bought was 1/2 metre of Kona white to finish the zigzag baby quilt.

Then, after we both had an afternoon nap,

I made a Bapron.

I love this pattern.

I used pre-made bias tape to make it.

It's much easier to use then the ones I tried to make.

I pieced the 1 inch finished hst's using these papers.

This was the first time I used these and I loved it.

Perfect for these tiny hst's.

I used Kona solids that I won from Contemporary Cloth  Store.

And a soft terry cloth for the back.

I plan to make a couple of these for my brother and his wife.

They are expecting a boy in March.

These bibs a great for a 6 month old and older baby.

I will also make a few smaller ones for a newborn.

Well, that's all for tonight.

Hugs

Baby gifts for my Best Friend!!!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are having a great day.

I've been working on making a gift bundle for my best friend from High School.

She just had her first baby on Friday.

She lives in Northern Ontario where we grew up.

I don't get to see her often.

Maybe only once or twice a year.

She is one of those friends that just knows me so well, and always accepts me the way I am. 

We are quite different, but so close......you know.

I had my kids so young, and she was out in University just having a great old time.

But she always made time for me. 

Now, that she has had her own baby, I'm just so excited.

She is going to be the best Mom.

These are the first few things I made for her bundle.

I made her a cuddle blanket, with cotton on one side and Cuddle Chenille on the other side.

It is oh...... so...... soft!!!!

I also finally tried the Bapron tutorial by Craftiness is not Optional.

I love these.

They are so cute and fun to make.

I made the dark pink one first.

I struggled a bit with the bias tape.

Then when I made the second one, 

I decided to open up the bias tape and sew it to the back first,

 then fold it over and sew it on the front. 

It looks much more professional that way.

That's how I'm going to do it from now on.

I still have a few things I want to make.

So stay tuned.

Hugs
