Yay for Quilting!

Ahh, I've had a very quilty morning!

I got a label prepared and pinned down for a gift- will get that sewn on this evening while I watch a movie or something.

Also went ahead and seamed a backing for a lap quilt, loaded it, pieced some batting together (I hate not using those big pieces!), got the top on there and quilted the whole thing... whew! All it needs now is binding!

I'm also working on plans for some baby quilts, the fabric for the tops is bought... just have to figure out how I want to cut into it all.

Ok... off to something semi-productive for a bit, like laundry- ick!

TaaDaa! I think...




If you look to the right, in the sidebar, underneath my profile bit, there is a link to a Google Doc with the pattern for the diaper bag!

Now, take it easy on me... keep in mind that I've never even attempted to write a pattern or tutorial. I've tried to make it easy to understand, but I can't make any promises!

If anything is unclear, or you see a mistake I've made (hey, it happens- just don't tell myhusband that!) you can let me know in a comment and I'll try to clarify/fix whatever needs done...

Whew...

Ok... I'm trying

The diaper bag pattern is done!

Issue is.... I can't figure out how to get the .pdf file linked on the right side where it can be uploaded... I'm not exactly high tech at most of this stuff, so I'll be trying to figure it out!

Another busy week!

We've had Scouts and/or basketball every night this week... again! I'm going to try and get the next diaper bag and pattern/pictures done up this weekend!

For now, I just have to finish today and it's activities, then time off... ahhh!

Working...

On the diaper tote pattern, that is!

I have it hand written out, but want to take some pictures to include and run through it first! Maybe find some testers...

I'm on it though!

Now to think up a fun name for my patterns...

Last Diaper Bag post...

Because it is DONE!

I added 4 large open pockets to the lining, but wanted to leave most of it open space. Lining is also interfaced for stability.


I've got plans to do a few more of these as gifts for expectant mothers, and will probably pack them with baby lotions and soaps and such.
So, would anyone be interested in the pattern? Since I'll be doing it a few more times, I can write down what I do and take pictures...

Just a bag update. Still need to do the lining, probably tomorrow!
