I hate snaps!

Howdy,
So my cousin Jay and his wife had their baby a couple days early. Normally not a problem but I wanted to make a diaper clutch to go with the blankie I had made. Okay, I find instructions,(http://www.vanillajoy.com/diaper-clutch-tutorial.html)
sew it up but at the last minute decide to put a snap on it instead of velcro. Should be no problem, have used them before, I think. Well, I apparently did something different this time and the damn snap won't close, nor can I remove it. #$$%%$ Now, I have to make a new one, which means I need to go to the store to get more coordinating fabric because I used the last of it on the now defective diaper clutch!!!
Aargh!

Howdy,
Do you ever have a quilt that taunts you-one that you just can't finish? Lee's denim strip birthday quilt was like that. It taunted me for months. Anyway I finished it today. It's not the prettiest quilt I've ever done but it's intended for the field or the beach so I think it will do.
How was the secret quilt reveal?

Crafty Friends

Howdy,
Just thought I'd share some pics of what our crafty friends have been up to. This is a ninja turtle quilt that Julie made for her sister (who loves Ninja turtles) for Christmas. You can't see in the pics but the crazy girl hand sewed the binding!

It was great fun!!!

Done!!!

Hey ...

The secret quilt is done!!!!! I finished the binding last night! Every time I finish a quilt, I am always so amazed at how the binding pulls the quilt together! I am so excited to be done. All I have left to do is wash it so that it frays!!! All I have left to finish before Christmas is Grandma's banner. It's this cute Santa Clause banner. The pattern is for a table runner or a banner. It's pretty cute! When I get done I will post some pictures!

In other news ... I am more unfocused than most of my students. I couldn't sit still yesterday. I hope that today is better! When are you guys done for the holidays? My last day is Tuesday!!! I was looking at the calender and I think I am only going to get two or three days of sitting at home, staying in my pj's and doing nothing but sewing over the break!!! I plan to work on my to do list!!!

Happy Friday ...

What's happening?

So, I'm curious. What's up with the secret quilt. I need details.

Secret Quilt Reveal

Howdy,
So we had Andy's birthday with my family tonight. After pizza and hide and go seek we had presents. Even though his real birthday isn't until tomorrow I couldn't wait to give him his quilt. So here it is.
It's just simple squares so you can see all the characters. The back is a Star Wars Sheet with the official Star Wars tag attached. I did simple grid quilting on the diagonal with skinny double lines and thick double lines.

Late Night Motivation

Just a quick update. Apparently I found some late night motivation and bound the secret quilt. It's all done now, just needs a quick trip through the washer and dryer and will be ready for Mr. Her's birthday this weekend. Yeah Me!!!

The Utlimate Auntie

Howdy,
Just a shot of what I've been working on. We bought handmade doll cradles at the Sundog Fair for the girls. I just finished making a mattress and a quilt for the first one. It's pretty cute.
What have you been working on?
