New Grandaughter!

Not much quilting going on right now. Just a lot of snuggling with my new Granddaughter!

Coin Quilt - finished

The coin quilt is finally finished! O.K. I still need to sew on the label but you can see it is pinned on and ready to sew. I'm going to do that tonight but I didn't think you wanted to wait another week to see the label on. You may not be able to tell from the photo but I used a multi pieced binding on this one. I saw this over on Cherly's blog Naptime Quilter.

Cactus Wreath Quilt

I think the name of this quilt is Cactus Wreath. This is a customers quilt that I quilted. The top was perfectly pieced and a lot of fun to quilt. Lots of Leafs and some swirls. This is the first time I tried the swirls. I think I like them.

Jumper fits

I tried to get a better picture of the jumper but this is all I got. The turtleneck and the leggings could of been a little smaller but the jumper fits.

Jumper - update

I found a turtleneck and matching leggings for the jumper. If you are planning on making one of these you might want to get the t-shirt/turtleneck and leggings first before you buy your fabrics I didn't have much choice in the colors, luckly I found a light pink that matches pretty well.

Reversable Jumper

I got a little side tracked. I've been looking for a dress for my Granddaughter for winter and wasn't happy with anything I was finding so I decided to make something myself. I used a Simplicity pattern 7872. I'm not sure if it is still available or not this was in my patterns and was close to what I was wanting. The pattern doesn't call for it to be reversable and I didn't find any patterns that were. I'm hear to tell you if you don't know how to make this reversable I'm still not sure if I can tell you how. I though just make two put them right side together leave a side seam open and turn. Wrong! You have to do a few more steps mine included a lot of reaping out of seams. I did sew the whole thing on the machine, no hand sewing here! Anyone that knows me knows hand sewing is not something I do. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I hope it fits if not I think I can make another one in a lot less time then the first one. I still need to get some buttons and make the button holes but that should be the easy part. I hope finding a pink or white turtle neck and some leggings will be just as easy too.

I'm still here!

Just wanted to let you know I'm still here. I'm working on a custom quilt right now.

I also found some lime green Minkee for the back of the Coin quilt.
