Sew in Love...



I made two more baby quilts yesterday...



These were made with fabric from my own stash...
I will be taking these to the fabric store today, 
and exchanging them for some kits to sew.

Have a sunny day!

Lots of Baby Quilts...

 I have been sewing like a mad woman in the last 5 days!  I finally broke down and bought a "walking foot" for quilting on my sewing machine.  It allows you to do machine quilting without any slippage between  the two fabrics and the batting.  You get a nice flat quilt with no puckers or bunches at the ends of the rows of quilting.  This thing is worth every penny that I paid for it and I wish I had done it sooner!

Teddy Bears

Dogs and Lady Bugs

Citrus Colors--(need sunglasses for this one)

Kitty--I did an outline stitch around it,
so it stands out...

These blocks were already sewn ~~
I did the sashing, the backing and the binding...
This is called a sampler quilt,
 because all the blocks are different.

This backing is cute~~Teddy Bears with balloons...

This was fabric from my own stash...

I love doing these baby quilts...
they are all about 24" square and they don't take much time to make.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been up to this past week.  I'm trying to stay off the computer, and to be more productive.  I have my blog, Facebook, and now Pinterest to eat up my time, and I need a way to be able to use them all and still be productive.  And then there's my minis, too!  Good thing I'm retired, (and loving it).  I wouldn't have time to work these days!!

A Big Accomplishment

Hi Everybody, I am so excited! I have my etsy site up and running. The address is: http://sweetgirlythings.etsy.com if you want to go and take a look. In setting up the site, I learned a few things. I learned how to make and install a banner. I also learned how to make an Avatar. I had never even heard of an Avatar until a few months ago. Now I not only know how to do it, I have one! My next project will be to make a banner for this site. Wish me luck.......I'll probably need it. I was trying to put the etsy mini on this site for 2 days and finally gave up. I need to realign my brain molecules and then I'll try again. Oh, and I also have to lookup how to make a hidden link. I saw that somewhere. OK, one step at a time, I must remember that........
