WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO ? (II)

Attempting my first FREE QUILT

WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO? (I)

i have been QUILTING a small quilt

for the top of my nightstand

These are the first borders

more to come...

YELLOW BABY CARDIE

SO THIS ONE IS FINISHED !

I knitted a semi-bow for the collar

and trimmed the sleeves with

the same fabric I made the little pocket

from the remaining fabric,

I will make a drawstring gift bag

Quilting, quilting, quilting

One more border to go!!!

I started the lap quilt

with that embroidered piece.

Added the first border.

Well, not so much of a border

since it measures some 28cm.

So far so good.

I've already cut the next border,

this time a thin 6cm strip.

I also started a little blue cardie.

(I had been missing my knitting)

 I saved all the baby size patterns I made, so

now I can just knit by them, instead of

reading patterns.

The embroidery I was making

is almost ready and I can't wait to use it

as a center piece for a lap quilt.

As usually, the fun part is picking the fabrics for it.

I wanted something soft and feminine

(dah... roses), but not too girly.

As you can see, almost all fabrics

are pretty traditional, but the modern swirls

will give it the necessary twist!
