Recent Projects...

Here are my recent projects in the last few weeks...

Things to occupy my childs time and mine before she left for her dad's for the summer. The flip flops were fun to make. Katlynn enjoyed her flip flops she took them with her!  I am yet to finish my pair will probably get those done this week. The paintings were pre-printed canvas's I picked up at Micheal's. Katlynn had fun until it got too HOT outside.

Almost done...

Here is the quilt I have been working on for Katlynn (for her Birthday that was back in March) my goal is to get it done in the next few weeks. I have decided that I love this quilt! It is a cheerful quilt and while I was putting on the board to take a picture of it, it kind of looked like a stained glass window from the backside.  This quilt has been interesting to put together. I have had to make a few modifications as I went, have had to go "frogging" a few times as I was not satisfied with how something looked. When I started I had to undo about 20 blocks because I had some shrinkage problems with a particular fabric. Then I didn't like my first pick of border, I needed something to break up the greens and make it pop a lot more. This quilt is used out of the leftover fabrics I used to make the miniature quilts for my daughter at Christmas time. Giving her a matching blanket when she is playing with her animals. The first picture is of  what I am going to put on the borders. The outer border is also what I plan to put on the back somehow (I want to piece the back so she can have 2 blankets in one). I have about 4 weeks before I start my summer classes so I have plans to finish some of the projects I started but haven't had time to finish during that time.
