Baby Layette

 I have been working on getting a layette finished for a baby shower I am invited to go to in March.

  I used some of the Minky I had in my stash for a couple of self binding blankets. 

 I did buy some flannel for the second one but the first one and the minky all came from my stash.

Next, I bought some knit fabrics so I could make a few crib sheets.

My daughter ended up liking these the best of all the sheets I made for her.

I cut up some of the left overs and made burp cloths.

The back is all flannel from my stash.

I made re-usable rags out of the corners cut off from making the sheets.

Then I made a few teethers with what was left.

I finally settled on a quilt for this little one but it will not be finished by the shower.

I guess it just means they will get it when the baby is born!

Tomorrow I am dropping of the mother load of quilts with my LAQ.

Only one is mine!

A Little Time To Make

 As you know things have been hectic around here.  
We are getting ready to go camping for a few days so that just adds to the mix. 

 We are meeting up with our friend Kallie in Berlin, Ohio!!  

I met her when we were at the campground in NC. 

 She was camping there with her dog, Ebby. 

 I saw her sewing outside so I walked up and asked her if she was a quilter.

  She said YES!

 Then we ended up sewing together and hanging out. 

 She is working in Ohio and camping where we love to camp so 

we decided to go back when she was there.  

We are going to sew a bag together, the Midi bag by Quilt Smart.

I had picked up a remnant of this adorable quilted fabric awhile ago and

 found time to make it into 2 burp cloths.  

Then I made a few teethers. 

 I love getting some small projects finished when I get a minute. 

 Don't you?

I have begun to collect as many different MSU fabrics as I could find.

  Starting with these. 

 If anyone has a F8 or FQ they want to share.

 I would love it if you have a different one from the ones I have here.

Then, because I didn't think about the bag first,

 I cut out another Nightingale quilt for a special baby due in the fall. 

 No not my daughter, not yet anyway, LOL. 

 I used the fabric from Riley Blake called Dorothy's Journey.  

It is wizzard of Oz fabric.  

SO cute!! 

 I used the cutest daisy fabric in periwinkle for the background. 

 I think it is going to be amazing. 

 I bought the panel to put in the back. 

 Stay tuned for pictures once I begin to work on it.

Baby Shower Weekend

**Note this post is super photo heavy**

This past weekend was full of baby showers!  My niece had hers on Saturday.  

They are expecting a baby boy the end of March.

I made some crib sheets, a self binding blanket, some burp cloths,

 a chenille blanket and some bunny ear teethers for her shower.

I have some of these and some other burp cloths available in my ETSY shop.

 Self binding blanket.

 Crib sheets

Teethers.

I can make these to order if anyone is interested.

My nephew showed up at the end of the shower.

The shower on Sunday was for my daughter's best friend that is expecting twin girls in May.

I made her 6 sheets, 2 chenille blankets, 4 teethers and 6 burp cloths

Two really full gift bags!

I totally forgot to get an "after" pic of both of the chenille blankets but used this for both.

 These are the crib sheets I made for the girls.

Burp cloths

Teethers, 2 for each girl.

 Mom and dad to be.

So, as you can see, it was a pretty busy weekend.

I did manage to stop at 2 quilt shops on my way home from the Saturday shower.

More on that later.
