I have sort of been sewing up a storm recently.
I made my first big quilt top, and this is the best picture I have of it. All the other ones are pretty bad. It isn't finished yet because I have to quilt it and I'm a little nervous about that.
But I HAVE made a few other things.
For Shannan's birthday, Kimberly made this little crosstitch and I turned it into a pillow. I even designed the hearts all by myself!
Then, for Angie's birthday, I decided at the very last minute that I wanted to make her a bookcase quilt. When I first saw a picture of something like this I figured it would be PERFECT for my book loving, editing graduate sister. SO I worked long and hard on it and had it ready... a few weeks after her birthday. I hope Pal likes it. There are MANY flaws in it, especially since I am still learning how to quilt. Hopefully nobody looks too closely at the stitching on the back of the quilt. And if you notice something odd about the design, I'll just go ahead and point it out to you. The two slanted books on the top shelf are FLOATING. I forgot that I needed to have both books touch the bottom of the shelf. Ah well. You wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't pointed it out, right?
And there you have it. Just a few things I have been doing in my spare time.
