Baby Big Foot FINISHED!!

I finished the baby Big Foot quilt and it has been gifted!!  

Once again, this was a collaboration between me and my friends, Robin and Judith. 

 The quilt was gifted to a co-worker and now her precious little baby has it.

Mama Big Foot

Betty the Yeti flannel is on the back.

These are two of the trees I made.

I made the Big Foot and this tree too

The label.

I think the look on this little mama's face says it all!!

So funny story about this little wall hanging.

Judith made three extra trees.

We didn't want them to go to waste, so I suggested pillows.  

Once I started working on pillow fronts I realized they would make a cuter wall hanging.

So I made the additional Yeti.

I put 2 hearts on her and embroidered the phrase,

"I carry your heart in mine" 

across the bottom.

These are the other two trees on the back of the wall hanging.

I think she liked it!

Those are my two finishes for this week.

(even though they were finished a bit ago)

I didn't want to share until they were gifted!

Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts

Enjoy your weekend!

WIPs With Friends And A Giveaway

I have been working on a few things this past weekend. 

 None of which were my Ocean Waves quilt though. 

 I have a shower gift to make and I began working on a Chenille blanket for 

my newest great nephew born last week.

I made the bee block for February.  Isn't it adorable? 

 I'm pretty sure I need to make an entire quilt of strawberries now.  

I finished the oven mitts but can't show them = (  

I have to wait until I can gift those. 

 I did begin working on the chenille blanket I needed to have ready to mail out this week. 

 So many lines of sewing!

If you want to make one too check out my Chenille blanket tutorial.

I managed to get all the lines sewn and then later cut.  Then I just need to bind, wash and mail!

Hubby and I went to the Camper and RV show this past weekend. 

 We are totally in love with these Retro campers.  

We drove by the factory last time we were in Shipshewana (accidently) and discovered them. 

 They make a fifth wheel but there was not a model at the camper show.  

We did speak with someone that is going to try to get us a factory tour and talk about what our options are with a fifth wheel and the cost.  

SQEE!!  

This is one of the things we are planning on doing when I retire.  

TRAVEL!!!  

Can we come and see YOU???  

This is not the interior of the Retro but another one that we liked.  

The show was overwhelming, but it did help us narrow down the things we liked and did NOT like.  He kept on saying, 

"We have to make sure there will be a place for you to set up your sewing machine" 

 Ah, he knows how to make a girl happy!

Last but not least, I am working on a Yeti receiving blanket.  

If I had a brain in my head I would make this into a quilt rather than a receiving blanket,

 but I don't so there you have it! 

 I think I need to change out the lips for a more subtle shade of pink. 

 (she looks more clown/whorish than I like right now).  

So no big deal, but I have to get her stitched around and 

the receiving blanket part done by next week for the baby shower! 

 I'll keep you posted.

Curious about the giveaway? 

 I have a an adorable charm pack to send to you!
