Zoe's Baby Quilt - Doing the binding


Well, the binding is attached to the back of Zoe's baby quilt! Whew. Now I am going to do a yoga video and work on getting it blindstitched on the front. Almost done. I like it a lot- the strong colors, something I've shied away from in the past, really work. As always it's a learning process and I would change a few things about it, but all in all I hope she'll enjoy it, as will her parents.

So here are the latest photos. And some photos of my helper.

Happy Friday!

More "Future-Ella" Cocktail Napkins... These are for me!







I got tired of making things and always putting them away to be sold or to give away as gifts! I LOVE this fabric and was so happy it came back into production... so I made 8 cocktail napkins for me and my husband yesterday and proudly put them on our bar. Now I am happy. Next, I will make them for other people!

Zoe's Baby Quilt



So all the blocks are done... FINALLY! I have been busy and am now embarrassed at how long it's taken me to get moving on this.

I love this quilt and want to concentrate on it until I finish it.

I'm off to the city shortly, but wanted to update with the latest pics.

Punk coasters!


I have finally made 8 coasters out of this great fabric I have with skulls and crowns on it. I have these same coasters in a lighter version of this fabric, and even though mine stain easier due to the cream colored fabric, they are great because you just throw them in the wash and they are clean again!


I put them on etsy (www.badgalquilts.etsy.com) and we'll see if anyone else likes them too.

I also finished a few more hand towels today and put them online. And now I will be focusing pretty much completely on Zoe's baby quilt until it's finished. After that, I plan to do a lot more lavender eye pillows. Including one for myself!
