Kate Spain blog hop

Howdy Folks,

Have you been following the Kate Spain blog hop put on by Alyce of Blossom Heart Quilts? Lots of lovely projects out there using Kate Spain fabrics. And lots of great prizes too.

Today, Alyce is having  a linky party for showing off what you have made with any KS fabrics.

For me, I love her Terrain line. The white print on my diaper bag is my very favorite.

I also made a baby carrier from this print.

Central Park is also a favorite of mine. I had a mini charm pack at one point and made this quilt with it, a mini of Lovely and some stash fabric.

Thanks for the great blog hop Alyce!

 

Mystery quilt weekend

   Hello all,

It's time for another mystery quilt weekend, over at the Q&N.

You can find the fabric requirements and general info on the Q&N blog or head over the shop to sign up.

And if you do sign up and buy the pattern, please come on over to the Q&N forum and join us next weekend as we do this mystery together. Then stick around and have some fun all thru the year with us.

If you've never done a mystery quilt from Jess, you REALLY need to do one! They are always a great pattern, and always fun to share how it's going, get tips and color inspiration from other quilters too.

This one is mine from Dec 2011, done in Terrain fabrics. You can buy the pattern over at Quilt Woman, or just get a hold of Jess.

I haven't been doing any quilting this week!! We've been working on getting a schedule down for school/chores/nap/etc. So hopefully I can get some sewing in this week.


Have a great day all.

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.
