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.

Home Made Baby Shower Gifts...

My Dear Friend Rebecca is expecting a sweet baby boy.

She loves twall... I was looking thru Saver's looking for fabric

for my costume for the musical and stumbled upon this

Fabric! It was PERFECT!! I knew I had to find SOMETHING

to make it into for her!! Then another friend posted

a project she just made for herself as she is expecting too.

A nursing cover... With boning to help see baby with out

showing anything off! I kinda had to change it a bit but

it worked out great just look at it! She received it

this weekend and her eye's lit up as soon as she

saw the print! That made it all worth while right

there!! I Love You Rebecca!!

It's reversible with a neck strap, if I have another I'll

be sure to make me one of these!

This is called a swaddle cloth, It is huge but it will

cover a car seat when you need that extra shade for the

baby and will last longer than just a few months!

You have to make burp cloths... You can never have enough

of these!! I had fun making these things and am amazed at all the

talents God has given me!

(I also made her a cake pictures to follow soon!)

Sewing...

I really don't like this picture.. it was practice and I had no make up on but it's the best picture I have of me in my Les Mis costume. This is my very first clothing project. With the Help of my dear friend Melissa we spent our whole spring break making our costumes so we could keep them! I love it and found that making ruffles is fun!

After I posted this my dear friend Audra sent me this pic she took! Thank! A much better pic!
