We are leaving the UP before three ladies I know give birth, so I sewed up some gender neutral burp cloths.
Pajama Pants

While out shopping at Wal-Mart, I saw a queen sized 200 thread-count flat sheet on sale for $5. Score! That’s a nice piece of yardage. I figured it would make a great quilt backing (I’ve used flat sheets for three quilts so far).
However, once I got it home, I decided to make pajama pants.
The pants are a simple drawstring, pale yellow, and oh-so comfy! I’ll have to make a matching top (I have plenty of fabric left).
Love,
Tiff

Cupcake Coordinates

Back in Tennessee, on my last visit to Jo-Ann’s (wipes away tear), I purchased the blue cupcake fabric. I had no plans for it, but I can never resist cupcakes. I thought I would never see the fabric on a bolt again as there aren’t any Jo-Ann’s within HOURS of my new home. Well, imagine my surprise when I saw the cupcake collection at our local Wal-Mart! I’m sure I startled Brendan with my shocked squeal in the fabric section of Wal-Mart. I promptly picked up each bolt (and may have hugged them a little) and made a purchase.
I’ll have to make something for my orange kitchen as Katie suggested (she was with me at the last visit to Jo-Ann’s when I purchased the blue fabric).
Love,
Tiff
P.S. Yes, I’ll wait until after I finish my previously mentioned sewing projects.
Winter Quilt

Nov
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. 
Love,
Tiff

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…
Love,

I hope everyone’s machine is happily humming away in celebration of National Sewing Month. Mine certainly is. The first thing I have made this month has been a super cute ruffled apron!

Since I finished the quilt for our bed, I’ve needed to change the drapes. I thought it would be more cost effective to purchase pre-made ones, but when I saw this bold graphic black and gray fabric at Wal-Mart for $1.50 a yard, I had to have it.

I am going to make a quilt for Jeanette. I decided to make it a Little Red Riding Hood inspired quilt.
Here’s the anchor fabric.
