Finished Project Friday: Kate's Quilt

Image
By
Here's Kate's quilt.  (You can click on all the pictures to see them larger.)  I barely got it done in time.  Once again, my mom came to the rescue and slipstitched the binding for me while I was feverishly sewing Kate's baptism dresses.  I love Kate's quilt more than Eliza's.  Is that bad of me?  Maybe I will always love the quilt I finish the best right after I finish it.

This was a free pattern I found on Moda Bakeshop Blog.  I love all their patterns and can't wait to try out another one.  I've got one in mind for Maryanne's toddler bed, and already have the material too ... so I'll get started on that one for her birthday.

I didn't quilt this quilt.  I wish I had the talent for that ... it would seriously save me some money, and when I have quilted (smaller projects) I found it to be so relaxing and peaceful work.  Maybe one day when I have more time to devote to learning the trade.  Until then, I am really pleased with this quilt ... by far one of the best I've ever made.

The last picture is of Kate with most of her birthday presents that I made for her.  The scripture tote (and now the quilt) you are all familiar with, but the pillowcase is new.  I LOVE it!  And, I want to make one for me.  It is quilted with batting and such and is so soft!  (This I quilted myself ... so easy, just straight lines.)  You can't see the ruffle very well, but I followed this tutorial, and have a sham quilted and ready to go, but I still need to add the backing and ties.  I'll get that done maybe for Christmas too!  Anyway, in case any of you were interested to see her quilt and stuff, here they are!

so cute!! I love it!! I also love that it's the perfect style that she can use even when she's in college. Assuming she doesn't love it to death before then.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
