Coming up. . . .

Here is my sketch of a mosaic pinwheel pattern quilt, which I am doing in blue and brown elephant fabric for Seth's bedroom (when he moves into the blue room with the "big boy bed"). I have it cut out and started sewing it together last night. I want to finish Peyton's quilt before going full-blown on it, though, so time for a slight pause from elephants while I concentrate on hot pink!

List before Baby Number 2 arrives:
- finish my quilt (mark that as done!)
- Peyton's quilt (so close to being done I can taste it!)
- Seth's quilt (on the way)
- another quilt for Nanette (not really a glimmer in my eye yet)
- baby quilt (what baby?)
And I have a really cool idea percolating for a quilt for my guest bedroom. I'm hoping I can make it out of scraps.

Ready for sleeping under!

Peyton's quilt!!!!!

I forgot to take a picture with the backing material showing! I'll have to get another. It is a really cool hot pink batik. Now I just need to get it bound and signed and it'll be ready for the mail! I could wait until the Race for the Cure in November to give it to her, but since I'll have it done so much sooner, I think I'll just mail it. Although, they may be in town in a couple of weeks for Seth's birthday, so maybe I'll give it to her then. Hmmm. See her mom's quilt here. It is the same pattern, with different sashing and accent fabrics, different backing, and a some variations in the memory fabric, as well. I used softer pinks in Debu's quilt and more hot pink in Peyton's.

My quilt!

It's done! It is currently in the dryer. Woo hoo! Now on to basting Peyton's quilt! It has turned out really pretty. I'll get some pics.

Seth's birthday party invitation.

They turned out really great! They're based on a picture in the new Stampin' Up! catalog. Teresa did a variation on this card, as well. It's just a great color combo!

Round-up

I have gotten a lot done lately! My new quilt has been machine-bound. I just have to go through the long, grueling process of hand-binding the other side. I finished hand-binding the third baby quilt. I need to pop those three into the washer and then sign them and voila! Finito. And tonight I got a bunch of work done on Seth's birthday party invitations! They are damn cute. I will have to post a picture.

Almost done!

I am so close to being done with my quilt, but I was so tired last night, I just could not keep going. I have a triangle left with a 3' side and a 2' side. I think it'll take about 30 mins to an hour. I'm hoping to get it done tonight!

Next on my list:
- Peyton's quilt
- Seth's quilt
- another quilt for Nanette
- new baby's quilt

I think that seems fair. One for my family, one for someone else. Hopefully I can get all four of those quilts completely done before February. That's my (kinda lofty) goal.

My quilt!

It is 3/4 of the way quilted. Isn't that exciting? Jason was home most of the weekend so he was able to play with Seth some and I got to do so much quilting! So much quilting, in fact, on my hard wooden chair, that this morning when I got in my car to come to work, my butt bones hurt! Ha ha ha.
