What a HOOT

There were such fun to make!  They are for my Nieces who are learning to eat from place-mats   I figured what would be more fun that each of them having one they wanted to use each meal!  The wings are fun little pockets for the utensils....or to hide food they don't want to eat maybe?!  I think they will enjoy getting these for their birthdays next month!

Been a long time coming!

I started this project...hmmm..how long ago....a year and a half ago...best guess.  It is suppose to be a baby play mat, but the kid I originally intended it for is well past needing it.  Now I will add it to the stash so I have something on hand for my next baby shower when it comes up!

Oh Baby!

Ok, so this was a quilt kit my Mother in Law gave me a Christmas.  It was for a Crib Size quilt, I dunno, buy maybe she is hinting at something with this..hmm.  I opted to make it, and start picking away at the kits I have stock piled.  I really enjoy the colors in this one.  I started it over March Break at Aunt Liz's place and just finished hand sewing the binding last night.  Now it must sit and wait for a baby, so it can find a home and purpose!

You can see some paper still stuck to the quilt.  I used tracing paper to quilt the design on, and I think I will be picking out paper for some time to come!
