Should've been yesterday, my darling photographer.

This girl is excited to have her very own quilt for her big girls bed! I am excited to have a finished top! I ended up with many more block then I needed so my math was way off.
                                                           
In other news, I joined the Modern Quilt Guild and promptly downloaded all quilt of the month pdf's.

Looking forward to a dairy free Thanksgiving in a couple days!

Having 2 children and no dedicated sewing space has greatly increased my need to plan and prep and attack methodicly. It took almost a month of cutting when I could find the time to get enought pieces for a twin and queen sized Crayon Box Quilt.  I am using the instructions from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville. My personal modifications are no sashings or borders. My husband is pushing for reversible! So we will see. This is a very scrappy and fun pattern. 

My daughter loves all the things, so every center square is different. For a twin I am making 54 12 inch blocks, 7x9, with no fabric repeats in the same block.

So far I have been able to sew as much as can be sewn before pressing seams, and have started adding to my foundations. Big sis is excited for her new blanket! She is wanting a pink blanket, so the back will probably be a pink Crafty Chloe print I have enough yardage of. I have a million ideas on how to quilt it rolling in my head, as well as ideas for a few baby quilts I want to make for sweet babies yet to be born to my friends.

I finished a quilt I started years ago. It's nice to have it done. I am also working on the quilt I started when pregnant with my daughter, who is now 20 months old.

My other news is that the girls I take care of want to sew, and one asked for a sewing machine for her birthday. Hopefully the hello kitty machine I just found on Craigslist is still available, she loves all things hello kitty.

I also have an official sewing room, and I'm working on making room for three to sew at the same time. Pictures to come soon! I am still unpacking from our move.

Thanks for stopping by!
