It's been a year!!

Wow, what a quick years it's been too. I can't believe I've been blogging that long. Thank you my faithful followers, the ones that have been with me all along, and the new ones too. I'm happy you've been enjoying my posts.

I haven't been doing much sewing this past week. It was cloudy, cold, rainy and even a bit snowy, you would think that would get me into the sewing room. But I haven't had a new project, and can't do any quilting right now..as I don't have any batting....although I have been messing with some scraps, developing a project in my mind.

I thought it would be fun to see what my most popular posts have been this past year. So here are the top five post.

My Lone Star tutorial is a HUGE hit! I'm so happy there are so many of you using it. I know there is at least one flikr group out there, that is using it for making swap blocks :) How cool! I hope it helps you Ladies.

Second in line is my Set In Seams tutorial, which goes along with the lone star, so that makes sense ;)

                                                                 

  Third, my Art tote bag, this is a neat bag. Both my teens enjoy theirs a great deal. We all enjoy drawing in this family, and my dd also enjoys writing short stories. So we go thru the paper and pencils.

 

Fourth, Quilt-as-you-go table runner that I made using a Fandango charm pack.

                                 

And the fifth most popular post is the Signature quilt I designed. There is also pictures of my FQ bag I designed, on the same post.

Again, I want to thank all of you for being part of blogging land. What a fun, rewarding place on the internet. I've met lost of great Ladies this past year! Thank you!

My diaper bag!

Well it's getting time to start making some baby stuff! April is going to be here before you know it, and I'll have a new little one to snuggle. I can't wait!!!

As soon as I had this Terrain fabric in my hands, I knew that I had to make my diaper bag from it! If it looks familiar, it's cause it's made like my FQ bag, which I just love! lol

The white swoop there is a big pocket, one on each side. Big enough for a changing pad. And as you can see, I forgot the bottle holders on the ends!! grrr....but as I will be nursing, I wont need bottles for awhile yet.

See the zip? That's my purse! So I don't have to carry one around also. I don't need a lot in my purse, my wallet, keys, sunglasses. I don't own a cell phone, but there are pockets on the inside of the big bag...see the orange in the photo below? those are pockets, lining both sides.

(Sorry for the fuzzy photo) The pockets are big and small, enough for cell phone and baby paraphanalia. LOL

I also made a few burp cloths yesterday.

 

Simple, easy and quick!  Made from some darling flannel! And the backing is some stretchy, soft, knit looking stuff (teehehe...very technical there huh ), the one on the right below.

So, it's a start! I am still hoping to make some diapers before baby gets here. I have at least 3 quilts to choose from, and my good friends on the Q&N are making me a special one :) Clothes I'll leave to those who know what they are doing. LOL.

I love homemade baby things!!

I'm linking up with Jenna and QuiltStory!

Have a great day all.

A couple of finishes...

Yah! My two little quilts are done! I've worked on both these earlier last year. So it's nice to have a few UFO's now finishes.

My butterfly quilt. I made this for a Q&N challenge we did.

Measures around 36"x 29". Perfect for a newborn.

 

 I think it would be perfect on the wall above a little girls crib. Here's an upclose of the quilting and the cute polk a dot binding.

 And the backing. Just used this all over butterfly, with a bright spot for a label.

And here's my Sunshine walk in Central Park. I posted about this quilt when I did my DP16 patch tutorial on Sew We Quilt.

It measures at about 40" x 40".

I quilted it using diagonal lines on either side of the seams. Going thru the blank squares.

 

I love how it turned out!! Here's the back. I used the same butterfly fabric. With a color spot for my label.

Whew, 2 down....a billion to go ;)

Have a great day all.
