I Didn't Sew This One

Nope. God did. But I did make the gown. *wink*

Our sweet little Kyndall Hope was born last evening. She's perfect in every way and we are beyond excited to finally meet her. God did an amazing job, didn't He?!
Big sister Klaire wasn't interested in her much. *grin*

I can't believe Klaire is almost two and Kyndall is finally here. God is good!!
And just so I don't slight our LMW, here is a pic of him playing in the snow we received this week.

This stinker big boy will begin kindergarten in the fall. Where has the time gone?!

I'm On a Roll

I was able to run this little outfit up pretty quickly. I started it yesterday, and finished it this morning after I tried it on the little man to make sure it was going to fit.

Getting the little booger to stop long enough to try something on is a chore, but once he does, he wants to keep it on. He runs around like a wild child every time I try clothes on him. Funny kid. He seems to like what I've been making so far.

Batman approves!
I have two more of these to make. One for Easter and one just because that's what we want out of the fabric. Then it will be on to shorts and more shirts appliqued to match....if that's ok with Mommy??

Quilt Along Week 3

I didn't think I'd be able to get this week's quilt along blocks done, but I somehow found the time to do them. I love the colors!

I considered using a much lighter aqua for the corners, but after auditioning it, the white just disappeared, so my friend Janice and I decided the more vibrant blue was the way to go.

To be honest, I'm not a pastel kind of person. I always choose bright vibrant colors so this will suit me just fine.

Yesterday I received a big box from Ozark Fabric and was elated! Even LMW was happy to pet it and play with it.

This afternoon, I deliver the quilt I named "Christy's Dance" to my sister-in-law. I'm anxious to see her reaction.

I think this is National Quilting Day or something like that. I was able to celebrate by a little stitching on the quilt along blocks. Yay Me!!

An Extra Item

When I revised my May for Me goals list, I took off the bedding project for LMW's bed. Well folks, I actually got that done yesterday. My sister and I postponed our date, and I worked on the quilt.

It's hanging a little uneven, but you can see it this way better. The dimensions may be a little off  for the vehicles, but he loved it and wanted to put it on his bed immediately. I had a blast doing this.

I did quite a bit of fmq because I didn't want a grid pattern on it. I wanted to highlight the different shades in the fabric.

And I wanted to give the illusion of the palest of clouds in the sky.

I should have used a dark thread in the bobbin, but LMW doesn't care and I learned yet another tip about doing these sorts of quilts. I put this one together differently, and decided to use regular grosgrain ribbon on the edge.

LeLe liked it, LMW liked it, SR liked it and I do too! So that's all the counts. Now, LMW has a car/race car/truck/backhoe quilt for his race car bed.

And I have one item left on my goals list. That will be accomplished tomorrow.

Little Man's Bingo Board

The photo seems a little skewed, but the thing just won't lay flat. The batting I used is not very good and I will never buy any of it again. (I hope) It stretches terribly and makes the finished product look pretty uneven.

As you can tell, I "played around" with some fmq. Only my second attempt, so it's pretty wacky, but at least I had fun.  I even wrote the word free in the middle. Not sure it is readable though. LOL! In any case, he's ready to play May for Me Bingo!
