Christmas Isn't Just for Kids

 

 

Someone else is getting new pillowcases this year as well!

Guess Who???   ;)

 

I'm Back!

OK So it's that time of the year again...time to start making holiday gifts or finish holiday projects started last year but didn't finish in time!  I went on the Fat Quarter Shop website this weekend and ordered two pillowcase kits to make for the girls.  The first kit (Girl's Simply Sweet Pillowcase Kit) looks perfect for Abby's room and the Slumber Party Pillowcase Kit is made out of the same fabric (flowery pattern part) as the quilt I made for Olivia's bed last year.

 

 

 

I also ordered some Christmas fabric to make pillowcases to go with the Christmas quilts I made for them last year.  Here are the colors and patterns for those pillowcases.

 

I'll be posting more regularly again so you can see the progress I'm making on all my projects.  I still have this one sitting on my sewing table from last year that I am determined to finish by Thanksgiving, so that I can use it on the couch this year at Christmas. 

 

 

I have a few other projects started for people and will post photos of those after I finish these first.  I am getting excited because the Hallmark Channel keeps playing Christmas movie commercials!  Can't wait!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

 

 

 

Abby and Olivia's Christmas Quilts 2012

Here is Abigail's quilt:

 

 

This one is for Olivia:

 

 

I love the rick-rack on the front.  It reminds me of a gingerbread house.

I was happy to be able to use up the left over fabric on the back.

They are so soft and crinkly from the dryer. 

 I hope the girls like their new Christmas quilts!

I'll see you all in a week.  I can't wait! XOXO

 

 

BRUCE ROCKS 12*12*12!

 Oh, my Bruce Springsteen pie!

 

I wish that was me...

 

OK So I didn't get any sewing or school work done last night. (Sorry kids, you won't be getting your DBQ paragraphs back tomorrow.)  But, Bruce was on and I HAD to watch the concert! Boy, am I glad I did...what a great show!  I wanted to post yesterday on 12-12-12.  Thought it would be cool to mark the date, but it didn't happen. Oh, well.  So tonight I'm posting the pictures of the finished tops of the girls' Christmas quilts.  It is pretty dark in the back room, so the colors don't look as bright as they really are.  Wait till you see them in person!  I just have to put the back on and quilt together.  That is my task tonight and tomorrow night.  Hopefully, I will have them in the mail on Saturday.  Keep your fingers crossed!  I hope you like them so far!

 

 

A little parting music...
