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 journal cover

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

I'm still not 100% recovered from the flu bug I had.

It was a nasty bug.

I got a really bad sinus infection with it.

I'm still trying to get over that part of it.

At least my cough is not as bad now.

I was supposed to get company this weekend,

then go to a baby shower.

But all that didn't happen.

I just wasn't feeling well enough.

And didn't want to spread an germs to a mama to be.

I did manage a little sewing.

I made a little journal cover.

I think it's cute.

I made the hexagon flowers using the english paper piecing method.

Then appliqued them by hand to the background.

Added some hand embroidery.

Just a little project.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Hugs

My Baby Zigzag quilt is done!!!

Hi everyone,

I have another finish to share.

I'm really excited about this one.

It's my Zigzag baby quilt.

The triangles were all cut with the Accuquilt GO! cutter and the 3 inch finished HST die.

I machine pieced and hand quilted this quilt.

I quilted it with perle cotton.

Finished size is 36 inches square.

I love how the hand quilting turned out.

The big stitches really pop.

And the quilt remains nice and soft.

I backed the quilt in the cutest flannel by Northcott called Forest Friends.

I really love this quilt.

It was a lot of fun to make.

It will make a nice gift for my Brother and his Wife's new baby,

due to be born very soon.

Hugs

More Needle cases, a winner, and mail!!!!

Hi everyone!

I have a day off again.

Yeah!!!!

I made three more needle cases this morning.

I used 5 inch hexagon flower blocks to make these.

When I need a little hand sewing project to relax,

I often sew little hexagon flowers out of scraps.

So, I decided to use these for needle cases.

I used the same directions as my tutorial found here.

I just used hexagons instead.

These will be donated.

I also received some wonderful mail yesterday.

These were both wins from the Quilting Blogger's Giveaway Day.

The first is a beautiful piece of hand dyed fabric from Laura Krasinski.

She is a fibre artist.

Isn't the fabric gorgeous!!!!

Thank you so much Laura!!

Then, I got some sweet handmade buttons,

from Incomparable Buttons.

I love them.

Thank you so much!!!!

It's beautiful out today.

It's like a spring day.

Look at what I saw peeking through the ground this morning.

It's February 17th. 

There should be at least a foot of snow on the ground,

and be -20 degrees Celsius.

But, we have no snow.

And it's +4 degrees celsius.

So strange!!!

I know you probably don't here this often,

but I miss winter.

We haven't really had a winter this year.

We are missing out on all the fun winter activities to do.

Like build snowmen and forts.

Go sliding, skating outside....

It's just been wet and muddy and dirty.

Well, enough about that.

You are still waiting to here who won my giveaway!!

It's comment #37.
