Valentine Fabric Book and Quilting Aloha FINALLY

I finshed the Valentine Fabric Book this week and this it turned out good....I am not not sure it was the best job I could have done with thread sketching but it was a great place to practice! I am excited to give the gift, and I know Lucie will like playing with it too!


cute little hands...

me and daddy!

top view...you can see the paper doll family in there too!

had to add Mama and Dada initials too!

She just had too much fun paiting!!! I just can't resist putting more than one of these pictures on here!

And here is the picture of Aloha I started quilting just this morning. It took quite a while to pin baste this together since I chose to have a scrappy back (more seam lines and areas to bunch up!!) But hopefully I will be able to see the difference in taking the time when finished quilting and seeing the end product. I enjoyed sitting down and using Leah Day's 365 Free Motion Quilting Designs Book to decide what designs I liked the best nad where I wanted to put them. Right now I am quilting "Calm Sea" in the water area. I like it so far!

granted this may not be EXACTLY like hers, but I like the way it looks!

OH and I almost forgot! I made this cute birthday outfit for a friend....She sent me some ideas that she liked and here it is! I made Lucie a diaper cover like this one as well and it is sooooo cute!
