A Hooded Towel for Easton

I've been wanting to make a hooded towel for Easton for awhile. I had a plain hooded towel when I was little, and remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I have a few more ideas that I want to try soon.

Hunky Dory Quilt

Finished piecing my hunky dory quilt.  Sending it to Mom for quilting.

Raceway Caddy

Here's the Raceway Caddy I made for Easton using Brooke's pattern. It was pretty easy to make, and it's a very cute idea. Easton helped me finish it up this morning and loves playing with it. Thanks Brooke.

(I'm not sure why the pictures are uploading sideways, but I'm too lazy to mess with it right now.)

Mama's got a brand new bag!!

 

Finished my new bag. It's big for a purse, but I think that it will work well to hold all of my church things.

My sister Lynne had made one when we visited her in Utah this summer 

and I can't let my sister out do me, can I? 

 Thanks Lynne for the inspiration. Lynne also had some Raggedy Ann Dolls that she was making for her Granddaughters and the cutest little aprons.

This is Lynne's purse, I love the fabric and she did such a great job!

I Spy Bag

I made an "I spy bag" for Easton tonight. It's pretty much just a bean bag with a window and random trinkets to find inside.

I finally tried to do some feather quilting. I have always loved feathers, but I haven't been able to do them, I just wasn't gifted with artistic talent like my husband. But I love them and so I thought I would give it a shot. I found an article in a magazine that had a slightly different method to do them and it just clicked. I can draw really great ones on paper. But when it comes to doing them on the quilt, it was harder to get them to look right, but I least I tried them. I was fairly pleased with the way that they turned out, although I still have a long ways to go.
