23 pound Payson and I NEED this. His legs are too chunky to comfortably fit in a sling, and I'm loving how easy and adjustable it is. Add it to the list...

Baby Quilt - "Casserole" Style

Last night Susan and I decided to make a baby quilt for a baby shower that was at 9:30 this morning. I'm still hooked on the free motion quilting and have been wanting to try another one. So at 8 pm we began.

This one has 3 inch and 5 inch squares that are appliqued on. That part went together very quickly. The tricky part was the free motion because all the squares are just stitched with a 3/16 raw edge. So every time I went on to the little squares, I had to lift the presser foot because it would catch under the raw edge!

We both love the way it looks with the denim and lime green. It was fun and turned out great for the four and a half hours we put in.

Fun wrist corsage project by Dan and friends

This is the corsage Dan made for Brooke. Her dress is cream with black accents.

The boys got together after mutual the other night, with moms and made these flowers and then put them together into wrist corsages for their dates to Homecoming. They are made from chiffon, organza, taffeta, and other various fabrics. They did them using the method we learned from Gretchens blog.
And the links she has on her blog which are here and here.

The boys did almost everything, from choosing fabric, to singing (burning) edges of the fabric for petals with a candle, to creating the bracelets, and then assembling the corsages. The moms really were just there as needle-and-thread directors. It was fun! and it will be easy for the girls to dis-assemble them to wear as hair flowers and as bracelets.

This is Kevin's.

This is (part of) McLain's.
