Birthday Outfit # 30

We are getting ready for a birthday around here. I started thinking today that I want to try to take some lovely pictures of the birthday princess, but she needs an outfit. You know one that is clean, new (well at least not worn by 2 older sisters), and representative of her special day. I saw this post on Crap I've Made and really could anything be easier than applique? Then I started thinking about making the outfit complete and made the skirt to match. The princess is getting her beauty sleep right now, but I will update with pictures of her when I get some. There might be a hair bow to match. Although really I don't know why I bother...she pulls them off right away anyway! Happy Birthday!

Any Witch Way #29

I found the pattern for this quilt in a back issue of Quiltmakers magazine. I will have to double check, but I *think* it was Sept/Oct 2009. I LOVED it so I bought the PDF for the back issue and have been waiting to do this. The designer said that her inspiration for the quilt was watching the play Wicked. I just love how the hats intertwine!

One more project to go! It is looking good. I have 15 more days to complete it! Yay!

Block of the month #28

I started this quilt at some point in 2008. It had been the block of the month for 2006. I will look up the website where we got the pattern and add it to the post when I get to it. A whole group of us completed the pattern with all different fabrics. Well a group of us started, I think counting me 3 of us have finished. There are at least 3 more yet to finish. I REALLY LOVE the way this turned out. It is the first quilt I have made without any idea what I am going to do with it when I completed it. Any ideas? It is also the 2nd quilt that I quilted myself on my fancy new machine. It is just kind of fabulous!
