Heatwave

Hi there,

So here's a couple of pics of the heatwave quilt I just finished.  I ended up quilting it in straight-ish lines of different stitch lengths in all different directions.  It was a nice break from reading patterns and cutting things straight.

Disappearing four patch

Hey there,

So here's something we could do with our scraps, a disappearing four patch.  I've done the disappearing nine patch before butfor some reason hadn't thought of this one.  It could also be good for quick baby quilts.

Beach Dress Prototype

 Hey there,

I've been somewhat productive in the last couple of days.  I've quilted the heatwave quilt and made the binding for it.  I've also made a modified beach dress for Tanya with less smocking but I'm not sure about the shoulder straps. They seem to long in the picture but I measured them on me and they seemed okay.  Now I guess I need to figure out a child's version for Ava. I've also got a blue and grey quilt for some co-workers who are getting married in September. So what's up with you.

Serenity through quilting

Hi there,  Well I had a lot of  rage after the soccer game yesterday so I though maybe I should try and calm myself through quilting.  I finished up a baby boy quilt for baby William yesterday.

               This is my "arty" quilt shot.

 It's pretty cute.  What have you been up to?

Beach Towel Dress

Hi there,
So we were at the beach yesterday and I was thinking I should make Ava a pillowcase dress out of a towel.  I could also make something like this. http://www.danamadeit.com/2010/06/beach-towel-dress.html  What do you think?  I haven't used elastic thread in a long time so it might take some trying.

dolly diaper bag

Saw this and thought this is so cute. http://www.mommybydaycrafterbynight.com/2011/11/dolly-diaper-bag-tutorial.html. Ava would probably love one and it could be made larger for a real diaper bag.
