I finished and sold my Jungle theme baby quilt and my husband wasn't to happy!
I sold it for $40.00 that just cover the fabric. :(
I was so happy :) I didn't think anyone would want to buy it.
My next one I'll try and sell for more.   




I made this set for my step grandson coming in June. 
It has a 1 sheet, 1 changing pad, 2 burp towels, 2 bibs, & 2 binky clips.
Hope she likes it. 
I'm working on trying to get a new embroidery machine.
I would like to make baby items that have scripture on it.
Jesus loves me line
  quilts, bibs, onesies, blankets.
I think that would be so cute.
Then I want to make a playtime quilt. 
A quilt that can be rolled up easy when visiting Grandma.
I want to create  checkerboard pattern in the middle of it
and a zipper to put sewn pieces away when done playing. 
How cool is that!
I don't think I've seen anything like it.

Have a blessed week and fun sewing!

Spring has Sprung.

Two more baby quilts done this week or should I say tops done. I still have to put batting and backing on. I'm going to try and sell these so I can buy more fabric! 
Husband said I'm spending way too much :( 
I can't help it, Quilting is so addicting!
If not grandbabies can always use one more blanket right?




Have an AWESOME weekend everyone!

March's Garment

I mailed off all eleven baby quilts today! YAY!!!
That was a lot of work, but well worth it. 
I prayed for Miracles of healing and God's name be glorified before I packet them. 

Plus, I had to make a couple quilts for my new grandson! :)



Today I started working on.
 Demi Drape Top from Style Arc. 
This is what I have so far. 
I did one of the side seams wrong, so I have to pick it out and redo. 
Then all that's left is adding the sleeves & hem.
It took longer cutting out the paper pattern and fabric than it did sewing the top.
.
I'm still learning on my new used coverstitch machine I bought off Craigslist. 
 I used blue & green thread around the white part, but it's hard to see.
 I might try using the looper thread on top. 

 My sweet cousin gave me tons of fabric! I'm talking 7 large garbage bags full. 
This knit fabric was in it, plus some black knit for a second top. 
I think I have enough for a dress. 

I finished up my top today and finally got my Barb pants hemmed. 




Sew be blessed and happy Sewing,

Quilt For Kids!

I haven't been sewing any garments lately, but I have been sewing. Baby quilts! I have 11 to do for Quilt For Kids and 4 for my new grandbabies that are due this year. :)
I love quilting! Baby quilt are so much fun and quick for instant gratification. Making clothes on the other hand is a little frustrating, when it doesn't fit or turn out. I know once I get the fit down I'll be much more excited about sewing for myself. Anyways here are some pictures of the quilts I've made this week. 









For my March garment I'll be making Style Arc pattern Demi Drape Top. 
Plus I'll be showing my Tootsie Top redone with a much nicer knit. 
I still have to hem my Barb pants so I can show you them.




Hope everyone has a Blessed week and fun sewing!
