Finished scrappy quilt

bbscrappy4 bbscrappy5bbscrappy6 I sewed all my scraps of fabric together in rows to create one big piece and then cut it up into squares about 9.75 inches.  I used strips 2.5 inches wide to attach the squares together.  I decided to quilt all three layers together with the Babylock Sashiko, but decided not to quilt inside the squares. I was hoping it would make it more “poofy” in the centers.  It’ll be such a cute little pallet for baby boy to lay on when he gets here!

Baby boy scrappy quilt

We have a baby boy on the way in October!  I used all my boy fabric scraps to make a scrappy quilt over the weekend.  Apparently, I need more boy fabrics; I had to scrounge to find these!  I’m not quite finished with the binding, but here’s a sneak peek!  bbscrappy2bbscrappy1 bbscrappy3

Weekend tote

It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to sew, I was worried I’d forgotten how!  I made this simple tote to make sure I hadn’t.

cupcake flags and striped straws

My aunt and I had a shower for my future sister-in-law on Saturday, and I was so excited to finally make these little washi tape flags!  The cupcake wrappers are from Dress My Cupcake and the pretty striped straws are from Paper and Present on Etsy.

Springtime skirts

Remember these skirts I made back in January?  Well, I finally had a chance to get sweet Addy to model them.  She’s got this modeling pose down pat!  Isn’t she cute!

Dandelion purse

I had some time to sew last weekend and actually completed TWO projects!  The first was the cute little bib in my last 365 post.  The second is this dandelion purse.

I think it’s the perfect come-on-Spring purse.  There are some things I will tweak when I make it a second time, but this one still works!  It’s big enough to hold basic purse necessities and still fold over, but you can also unfold it and fit an iPad or a couple of books.

I haven’t been very diligent about taking pictures this last week or so, but here are a few I managed to take.
