Pardon my dust

It appears it is time for me to really get my act together and make this blog look the way I want it to look. This will take some time, so bear with me during this construction phase.

Girly Car Seat Canopy

A while back I made a car seat canopy for my little guy. My daughter's Kindergarten teacher saw it, and immediately wanted one for her upcoming arrival, so I made her one. This one is my favorite! It's so girly and fun! I think I need another girl.

Of course my husband freaked out a little when he saw this canopy on our little guy's car seat, mostly because I told him I made it for our little guy. :-)

Snowman Quilt - Finished!

I loved this quilt when I finished piecing it, but life got in the way (new house, new baby) before I could get it quilted. I finished the top over a year ago and just got it quilted a few weeks before Christmas. I got to quilt this myself at my friend's house. It was so much fun!

The back didn't come out quite like I planned, but I still like it. I had planned for the pieced part to end in colors other than red, but I didn't do the math quite right. At least I learned something for the future.

The pattern is "Done in a Jiff" by Heartspun Quilts. The fabric is Holly Jolly Snowmen by Kathy Schmitz for Moda. You really must check out Kathy Schmitz's blog! Her chalkboard doodles are so fun! I think I need a chalkboard...
