It's a Winnie of a Quilt!

I am so excited about this baby quilt! I started working on it this week and its pieced together and I have safety pinned it to the batting. I used Classic Pooh fat quarters I bought at a local fabric store (sorry I don't rememeber which one) and I decided on Bamboo batting (really its 50% bamboo and 50% organic cotton).

I am really loving this quilt. I don't have the back pannel yet but I am planning on getting something super soft and cuddly. I haven't decided yet on if I want to keep it for my daughter or give it as a gift.

I am doing a little bit of hand embroidery on it (outlining some of the characters with a backstich and such) to add a little more interest to it. I will post a finished picture (don't expect it for a couple months, its not my only project and well its something I've never done before)  

2 Cats for my Baby

OK I couldn't wait to post the kittens onsie I'm working on! I thought it might be good to show what the iron on pattern looks like (remember the iron on pattern, this one from Aunt Marthas, washes off when you're finished). I am going to try and finish it tonight. I showed my husband and he asked me if I was going to decorate all of Ali's onsies, made me feel a little proud of myself especially considering this is the first time I've ever embroidered anything. Oh by the way I bought the iron on for less than $3 (it came in a days of the week set with big iron ons, this one is actually the test pattern) at Joannes.














Ok, as promised here is the onsie finished and on the baby! (March 17, 2010) I think I might have made the girlie cat a little darker, the white of the onsie kind of fades her out. Oh well, there is always next time!
