Meet my Baby!

I've been having so much fun with my new baby.She also does embroidery. Which I'm loving.My first project on her is a quilt for my living room.

It's displayed on my new design wall that my husband helped me make last weekend. The pattern I used is the Snuggly Layer Cake Throw found on the Moda Bake Shop. I used mostly Heather Bailey fabric but also added a little bit of Amy Butler fabric.
The back of this quilt is Snuggle fabric which makes it perfect to cuddle up on the couch with. In order to finish it I have to wait for our JoAnn's to reopen in a few weeks to get some snuggle backing for it. They closed our old JoAnn's and they are opening a new one 4x the size of the old one. I can't wait to finish this quilt so I can use it while lounging on the couch searching on pinterest!

Amy Butler Swing Bag

After some frustration and 2 broken needles I'm finally finished with my latest project - The Amy Butler Swing Bag. It's a gift for my mother in law. I can't blame my frustration on the pattern because her gifts always cause me trouble. Not sure if it's because I want to make it perfect or if it's just the projects I pick for her.Pin It

I think overall it turned out well. I certainly learned some lessons on this project. I did not like that Amy has you close the bag up at the top on the curved area. It leaves open stitches visible when you close it up. I prefer to close my bags on the inside where it's not so visible. I will probably make this bag again but with my own twist!
