Weekend Stitching

In between helping my son's family move to a new home over the weekend,

 I had some fun in my sewing room...

 Little Jane is teething and in need of some cute new bibs.

 Hopefully, little Janie Sue will feel very stylish wearing

 Sherbet Pips and Denise Schmidt!

It was fun to add a little decoration to the front of each bib.

I made the pattern by tracing a purchased bib 

and adding seam allowances.

 I like to use a snap as a closure on the back, rather than velcro.

 Flannel makes an absorbent backing.

 I also had a couple of Bee Blocks for April to finish up.

This wonky star for Andie, in the One Block Over Bee, is made from

 gorgeous blue and black fabrics

with white linen as the background.

It was my first experience with using linen in a quilt block....I like it!

 

"April Showers" fabric by Alexander Henry is the perfect background print

for the April block in the Calendar of Houses Bee.

Mary's tutorial at Molly Flanders was the inspiration for the cute house.

So far, 22 quilters have officially signed up for the

 I SPY SWAP!

There's room for lots more, so let me know if you would

like to play along and I will send you my address.

See this post for the guidelines.

I have a couple of entries that did not leave me an email address.

Plima, from Canada and Emily Sands, please contact me again

with your email, so that I can let you know my info.

Thanks!
