It has been a fun week with the 4th of July Holiday, and I went to my friend Jenna's beautiful Portland wedding. And, on the sewing front I have been busy working on what feels like a million different sewing projects. I've been trying to hurry and get Giselle's new cuddle quilts done for her new big girl room, as I'm trying to get Griffin's bedroom started.
Yesterday I finally finished (so I thought) Giselle's 2 quilts and pillow sham for her room, to find out this morning when I took them out of the dryer that I have a couple places I need to re-sew on both blankets. I guess that's what I get for rushing to get these done. :) Like I've said before I really like making the furry blankets, but this time I really felt like the fur was fighting me and my machine lol, it will be a nice break to work on something else for a while.. Like Griffin's bumper (humm.. I think I have more battles ahead!)
Earlier in the week I cut up one of Giselle's pottery barn sheets (it's okay I had 4 of them) and turned it into 2 toddler size pillow cases. I also took a standard pillow and cut it in half and made pillows to match. It was fun and worked out well!
I also started on Griffin's crib sheet. So far so good the corners are all sewn together. I just need to hem up the sides and add elastic. I'm a little nervous about the elastic, so hopefully it wont be too hard to figure out. I need to attempt this soon.
And today I finished ironing (while watching the juicy details of Ali's Portugal dates and Jake and Vienna's break up.. ha!) the rest of Griffin's fabric since I have my beginners quilting class starting this Sunday.
Well, Giselle just woke up from her nap so I will post pictures soon. Have a great day!
Love,
Ebba
Can't wait to see pictures! I love that you cut up PB sheets. Also, I feel like a big loser because I had no idea you made that elephant burp cloth. I totally thought you bought it at some fancy boutique. Great job!
