lap quilt block swap

I joined a lap quilt block swap on craftster. Me and 11 other ladies swap fabric and make blocks for each other. How fun does that sound? FUN! Here is my fabric ( bought from Quilting Adventures). and my first block, which is my block. I will be sending out the fabric Saturday or Monday to the other ladies. I'll keep you posted on my progrerss. by the way, my block was paper pieced. I forgot how much I like to paper piece. Except for taking the paper off the back. Yuck.

where the magic happens.

My sewing room. It didn't look messy uptil I took pictures of it. Now I feel like I need to clean it up. All the sharks on the walls were painted by me. Yes, I paint too. My two fav things to do ...sew and paint. Oh and yes, that is a swing you see in the background. Jeremy , my husband hung a swing from the ceiling. Jonah, my son, swings while I sew. I so need to remake the curtain. Those are the curtains from Jonah's room when he was a baby.

baby blanket and bib

Very good friends for ours are excepting a baby boy. They will be naming him Eben Matthew. Eben, after Jeremy's brother. :o)

Here is a baby blanket I made with minkee on the back. It is SSSOOOO soft. And a bib to match. The bib pattern is free @ Quilting Adventures. A very easy pattern too. I'll be mailing it off today for them.

favorite flower

My new favorite flower, the gerber daisy. I still love the tulip and the regular daisy. But gerber daisy is now my fav. :o)

it's curtains

I made curtains for our living room. They are made out of Amy Butler fabric. I love how they turned out. Amy Butler fabric rocks. The curtains were very easy to make. I got the pattern from the quilt shop I work at..." Quilting Adventures".

PJ's for my little man

We got in this very cute alligator fabric @ the quilt shop. (where I am working now). I just had to make some PJ pants out of it for my little guy. They turned out great.
