Rag Quilt

One of Jed's good friends from Best buys wife is pregnant and we were invited to there
baby shower. A few week before was his birthday party and we were invited
and just for small talk I asked her what her theme was for her baby and she said
Elephants! We'll a light went off in my head and I know what I had to do.
I had picked up a yard or so of this Elephant fabric for burp clothes at SAS
and knew I had to go get more to make a rag quilt for them. I've been wanting
to make one and this was a perfect time to make it!
I got the instructions here. I omitted the batting in the middle so
it wouldn't be so hot since it is made from flannel any how.
Here it is... I love the way it turned out.
Back
Up close. Once it gets washed more it will frey more.

I made a card to go with it.

Safari Baby Shower Cake


I was asked by a friend to make a cake for her sister in law's baby shower.
They didn't have any request besides the flavor and filling.
I logged on to her gift registry and found her bedding
and came up with this cake.



I had a fun time making all the Animal's.

It was a technique I've been wanting to learn...



The animal's were a bit heavy and didn't want to stay but...



I think it turned out pretty well!
