The quilts are just gorgeous...so wish I had the patience to make a quilt 

Hi Everyone!
I see everyone's creative juices have been flowing - some really great things!!!
My BFF's daughter snuck the quilt I had made for her mom for her bday after she was tucked in last night - lol - her mom had to take a pic for me!

Here is the patriotic Army quilt I made for DH while he was away last weekend! I love how the edges frayed!

Here are my two latest creations and my first attempts at Carla's portrait peasant pattern. I wanted the look of the elongated top, only as a dress. I had a little trouble with the first one. It's a bit wonky at the bottom but not too noticeable. I made it for my youngest but she refuses to wear a "summer dress" until it's WARM out. In her defense, it was 15 degrees out when I tried to get her to try it on. SO instead it's modeled by my oldest.

My second attempt worked out a little better. A little shout out to Minnie2for the simple suggestion. I was definitely over thinking it. My oldest knows how to wear a summer dress in the winter, just add a long sleeve shirt and long leggings, with play-doh smashed in the knees of course!

Since the third time is the charm I imagine by the time I make this again I will have it just the way I want it.![]()
That is so cute she stole the blankie...she looks all cozy!
And I am totally going to CASE you on that quilt for my Dad!!!! (If that is okay?!?!?) I have all that fabric from last year's 4th and I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it. I love that!!!!!![]()
Wow, Wendy, those quilts are great!! How many layers do you use? Do you use batting? I have a whole lot of 8 1/2 inch squares cut out for mine but that's about as far as I got!! It's one of those unfinished projects that I have to doI should get to work and stop-

Abby found this baseball fleece in the remnants section. I used a Burda pattern to make this hoodie for her.

Not sewing related, but...
DS is sick with a sinus infection an very clingy, so I have to do the cleaning while he's napping so I'm losing some sewing time!! But I was able to make an "altered" paint can. This is for my scrapbooking weekend too. We do a Secret Scrapper (like Secret Santa) and I made this for her. I'll leave her a gift every day of the weekend. The can is filled with scrapbooking goodies too. DD has already asked for one and said she would pick out the stuff (paper, ribbon, etc.) for it the next time she was at Joann's. I think I'll be making more of these, maybe even as Easter baskets!

Side view - the flowers are 3 dimensional and the die cut on the lid is sparkly.
