My Niece and her husband are expecting their second baby.They found out it will be a boy.I had all the stuff to make the Elizabeth Hartman pattern, Bjorn Bear.I used a Grunge for the background and a FQ bundle of cross weaves for the bears. If you look closely, you can see that I used fabric from each bear face in a strip along the bottom in the binding.My quilter, Liz, did bees all around the

I have been on a burp cloth making kick.  I had SO many cut out already.  I was cleaning in my room and decided that if I sewed up everything I had cut maybe it would make a little more space.  Hardly, LOL.  I will be destashing when I get back from NC so I have been putting fabric into bins for the big destash too.I listed the burp cloths in my ETSY shop if you are interested in purchasing one

I have been SO busy sewing and trying to finish my "to do" list.  (and no, Margie, I have not forgotten about the stockings).I have LOADS of Christmas presents to finish binding, some baby quilts to ship out, and baby shower gifts that I needed to make.First up is to share what I made for Avery for his first birthday.  I put together a car mat, and made a Bendy Bag to put the little cars in and

Our office recently moved to a new location.  There are no lunch places within walking distance but there is a café in the basement. The food is good and the service is great. Naturally, I became a regular :-) Fami works in the cafe and she is usually behind the counter so it was a few weeks before I noticed her pregnant state.

I have been doing a LOT of binding lately.  It's not great for photos but it is what I have been working on.  That and embroidering and sewing on labels.  I have bound 2 quilts for babies and now working on a third, to gift to a very special friend for her birthday (which I will miss this year).  I have also been making yummy keto foods from new to me recipes.  Is there any interest in that?

As I mentioned in some of my recent posts, one of my sewing goals for The Great Stay Home Marathon is reorganizing my sewing room. I use flannel for backing baby quilts, but I often end up with flannel scraps that I don't know what to do with a lot of the time.

There are a lot of different burp cloth tutorials out there and I ...
