Argyle Quilt

I finished a quilt top! It's called "Argyle" and it's from the Kaleidoscope book that I also made the mushroom back pack from.

I think this is only my 3rd quilt?

I made a table runner and a flag wall hanging,

all quilted but this is my 3rd big quilt.

The fabric is Close to my Heart and it's the same fabric I made this top from.

The quilt is about 87"x 87".
A close up...oh, and it's not quilted. Only the top is done. Leah will be quilting it soon and then I'll post the whole thing again! ohhh how exciting!
Well it is for me:)

I know this picture is almost the same as the top one but this one has Katelyn peeking her head around one side and Jenny on the other side:)

Emily and Ava playing outside the other day.

They played with their friends, Emilee and Nicolas.

"I'm not fat, I'm big boned!".

I made this for my sister a while ago. Or actually I made it, sent it to my sister, had her try it on and adjust the straps then send it back. Sewed the straps where she wanted them then sent it back to her. Hopefully she'll send me a photo of her wearing it:)

It's the Spring Ruffle Top from here made from a batik and a solid kona cotton.

Mushroom Back Pack (pink/brown)

Another mushroom pack pack from the Melly and Me book, Kaleidoscope. This one is for Ava and it's out of the Close to My Heart line that I've now done 3 (?) other projects. I've almost finished sewing the binding on the argyle quilt and when I do I'll post pictures of it. It's gorgeous quilted. Looks so much better than when I first posted just the quilt top.


I couldn't get Ava to model it though.

Close up...and under the flap.

And I also made another traditional-looking mushroom pack pack for a friends daughter. It was a special order actually. I think I'm done with these for a while.

Jon has been off this week so I've not been getting much crafting done. I've been taking advantage of him being home and making him go out and do stuff. We went to Lego land Monday, Downtown Stuttgart on Wednesday and today we were going to go to the Pumpkin fest (see last years posts. #1, #2, #3) but it was too gloomy. We'll try again tomorrow. I worked Tuesday and Thursday so I've had time to do stuff only here and there.

Don't touch that squirrels nuts!

I'm of course referring to the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I made this a couple of days ago but just wasn't feeling up to posting.
We've all got colds here, blah:(


The pattern is from here and the fabric is Close to my Heart (the plaid. The polka dot corduroy is from Super Buzzy). The small one is the original size but I thought it was too small. The big one is made from a copy of the pattern at 150%.

And Ava singing...
**oops. I think I uploaded the wrong one. But since it takes so long to upload, I'm going to leave it.

2+2

2+2 blouse from Oliver + S.

Fabric is "Close To My Heart" for Marcus Fabrics.

Buttons down the back..

I used Eye Candy Actions, "Circa 1963".

Arm hole detail..

I just inlcuded these so you can really see the shirt.

Tied & untied.

I love these patterns.
