Quilt Top's 2

The green Quilt is the one I got for my Birthday in 2009. it will have a lime green binding, need to go back to the quilt shop and get a backing!












This is this year's block of the month, so far there are 4 months down, will pick up month 5 next week! this years was a bit different we could ether do 1 block or do a row of 6 to make a Queen size quilt. I am doing the rows so there will be more to come on this quilt.



have another quilt that needs to be put together all the parts are done, well the hand applique still needs to be done! maybe I will have it done by the end of this year!

Quilt Top's

this is a Block of the month that one of my friends did and I loved it, so I went to the quilt shop where she got it at and they had all the blocks on sale! so I got them! need to decide what type of fabric I would like for the backing and I am thinking of getting the black batting for it also.

this one I got the pattern form a Fons and Porter magazine, its been sitting in a basket for about a year and a half well maybe two years! the cowboy fabric is some left over from the Quilt I made for Andrew when he was born, the backing is going to be some cowboy flannel that I had.

Snuggie/slanket

For Christmas my Mother in law got me a Slanket ! loved it after making fun of them for years!
Emily and Leslie both use it just about as much as I .
So a few weeks ago I brought it to project day at church. and the lades and I looked at it and figured it would be so easy to make!
so the other day Emily and I went to Joann's to use the gift card Mom gave me for Christmas. and yesterday made Emily her own, right now she had it on like a robe! and it works. have Leslie's ready to sew, I posted Emily's on face book and one of my Friends asked how I made it.

so here are some pic. of what we did

Emily sleeping good in her Cup Cake Snuggie

I pinned where there shoulders are then made a slit at a slant for the arm holes

pinned in the sleeve, for Emily I used a Jammie's pattern, Leslie I used a shirt sleeve! and just added to the bottom part hers will be a bit more snug around the wrists.

and here is the slit it was about 6 ins for Emily
