Baby Gifts

I had found out at the beginning of summer that my neighbors were expecting some grandbabies. They had a girl in July and are expecting twins this October. So, I got busy and crocheted each a blanket and sewed up the cutest bibs and burp cloths. (If I can say so myself.)

This was for the July baby.

When I started these I had no clue if they were expecting girls or boys. Found out later it was girls.

Dresden Tie Quilt

One step closer to creating a dresden tie quilt for my pastor. I can honestly say it is a chore taking apart 56 ties. But more so when taking out the seams making them into smaller piles. My left pointer finger is extremely sore from the poking and prodding of my seam ripper. The next step will be ironing and interfacing. Going to save that for another day.

All cleaned and taken apart.

Next to iron and interface.

Rough sketch of quilt idea and placement.

August Kittens

Skunky had a litter last week. This time she gave birth to her kittens in a camping chair while our daughter was playing a video game. Skunky is a crazy cat and birthed 4 new kittens.

Yes, three look identical and the fourth is the oddball.

August Projects

Pretty bag, but my measurements

were a bit off. Bigger than I wanted.

Trying my hand at painting some

game meeples.

A multi pocketed pin cushion square

with thread catcher and needle pad.

A simple bifold wallet for my son. He didn't want to go and buy one, so had me make it instead.
