Have some new stuff to show ya'll!
The "not Disney" stuff first!
Have a friend who has asked me to make stuff for her nursery (and is expecting twin boys!):
Burp Cloths:
Receiving blankets x 2:
My first attempt at appliqueing...
Here was my design that I laid out using an app:
I only have the front done so far, still have to put on the boarder, stipple, and then bind it... but the not-so-finished product:
There are 2 of them and you can kinda see through the top to the other one underneath. The Giraffes both point in to the center.
I am also doing matching dust ruffles. One will be backed with the Chevron and then will have a matching chevron dust ruffle and the other will be backed with the gray and white dot fabric with a matching dust ruffle. Definately pretty happy how these turned out especially since I have never done the appliqueing before and it was all done with a simple machine using a zig zag stitch.
Now on to Disney! After my success with the above, my Sister-In-Law had hinted how my nephew needed a quilt for his 2 year birthday. I asked her of what and she said "He doesn't care, he just wants one!" LOL cause you know... I am sure he articulated that to her at 2 years old! Well, that left me free to do as I please so to the design board (or app!) I go. This is what I designed:
Again, only the front. Still need to do the backing. Can't decide if I want to go with just a plain black back as the binding is going to be the yellow from the yellow squares. However, I did find a mickey flannel at Joanns that I rather like...but just don't know yet. Any way, here is what I have sewn:
I have the hand in the top left done and the E on the Eli is done, but I still have to finish his name and then the hands in the middle and the entire Mickey head at the bottom right corner.
