While I was up in Idaho we got a little crazy with the sewing machine and made a ton of stuff! It was fun to spend the time with my mom and sister and take over the basement with our yards and yards of fabrics and multiple sewing machines. I'd say we were pretty productive. Here are some of the things we did...
With the help of my mom, I pieced, quilted, and finished the binding on this quilt! We got it all done in one week. Way to go us. The fabric took forever to find, though. We searched every fabric store in Idaho Falls and the surrounding areas, but nobody had navy blue fabrics that didn't have flowers or something dumb on them. We had to go all they way to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to get this fabric. Luckily we were already there for dinner. : ) Isn't it cute?! I love it. I saw a quilt at Pottery Barn that I liked, but I wanted a better one. So this is my Pottery Barn knock-off quilt.
Here it is up close. I did some "decorative" stiching. Fun.
We got a lady at Porter's (a fabric/craft store) to give us a pattern for these receiving blankets. They had the pattern in a bunch of kits to buy, but we didn't want the fabric that came in the quilts. I think we asked the right person. She didn't make us buy it. Thanks, lady!
I used the same pattern to make a car seat cover. Aren't these dinosaures the best?
Hannah and I made some new bags. This one is remarkably smaller than the other bags I have.
And Hannah spent hours and hours cutting fleece and made the most amazing quilt. She worked so hard. Go here to see it! Thanks Hannah! We love it!
