I’m actually quilting it!
turquoise stitches around the towers and on a few of the swirls in the print of the turret
I free motion quilted around the castle in gray, and I am now doing some hand quilting on the castle—with turquoise thread!

Winter Quilt

Back in Tennessee, I bought some holiday fabric from Hobby Lobby. I finally found some coordinating cotton here in the UP to start a quilt. The blue, cream, and brown is from Wal-Mart. The winter scene, cardinals, snowflakes, and pine-cones came from Hobby Lobby.
I think instead of a “Christmas” quilt, it will be a winter quilt since nothing is overtly Christmas. That way I can use it for the entirety of the UP’s long winter season.

Yes, I am still working on that quilt. I’ve finished quilting and binding it, but now I’m working on the appliqués.
I only have fifty to do…maybe I’ll be done in time for next autumn…

There are babies-galore here in the UP. I’m glad it’s so much fun to sew for them. I used my latest fabric stash additions to make these cute little blocks.

While in Illinois, I went to Jo-Ann’s and picked up some cute fabric. I love the whimsical little windows and the cute birdcages actually have tiny little birds in them.
Look at this cute little half yard of gnomes from fabricworm.com. The polka dots came from Wal-Mart. I have some ideas for this stuff…

After sewing the little Mary Janes for my friend’s baby, I thought about what needed to be made next. I came across this darling tutorial for a ruffled bonnet on The Cottage Home and was instantly inspired!

My absolute best friend is going to have another little girl in December. I started the sewing-fest with a little pair of shoes (Simplicity 2471).
