A blog about stitching, quilting, sewing, and other random crafts that have found their way into my home.

Baby Shower
So... I didn't get the quilt complete before the shower. Life sometimes gets in the way. I have completely finished the embroidery on one block. I didn't like the last 3 blocks- 2 were repeat animals and the 3rd looked like the animal was going to fall over, so I got my baby feet finished in it. I have started on the eyes. They should go fairly quickly. I have decided to satin stitch them because one of my managers has convinced me that I will ruin my blocks if I try to paint on them. Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't, I'm not gonna risk it. With my mom's help, I have completely cut out another quilt and got the pieces pinned together. When you rag a quilt, it goes much faster. Right now I'm all about speed. I should have 2 quilts completely finished by Monday afternoon since it is a federal holiday in the U.S. That means I don't have to work Monday morning. I do have to work Monday afternoon, but since it's time and a half, it's alright. If I finish my both my quilts Monday, I will post more pictures. I cannot decide if I want to embroidery the last quilt or if I just want to sew flannel squares together. We shall see. I also don't know what I will do at work on Tuesday if I get all of my quilts finished. I do have a couple of other embroidery projects already started, one of which is a BOM ornament set. I have them about 1/2 complete. I will talk to you soon.
