Wedding Quilt- I have the top pieced but haven't done anything else with it. It was originally for a friends wedding. I got all excited since I had the perfect fabric, then a few months have gone by, haven't heard anything about the wedding and am debating on giving this as the gift. Hubbs even likes it enough to say "I think we should keep it". I have PLENTY of the fabric left over to make another one... so that's not the issue but I'm not sure I want to make the effort if the bride hasn't.
Mom's Quilt- The top is finished but none of the pictures will load here! I tried to baste it the other day but the batting I had was too small and apparently so was my backing... so a trip to the fabric store is needed.
C Gift 1 -A gift for a friends little girl, but I haven't heard from her in a while and I'm not sure what the point would be to make something now. The little girl is young enough to play with baby dolls, I might send one of my finished baby blankets to her for fun.
C Gift 2 - Same friend, same situation. We didn't talk a lot before, but now we are talking even less.
Primary Quilt(Rainbow Quilt)- This was originally going to be a project with this great primary colored fabric I have with white thin sashing. Then the Rainbow Quilt along came about and the Primary colors have been put on hold, but since they are similar I'll keep this up for a while. I am currently prewashing my solids. I heard they bleed a little and there is too much white for me to chance that after its all put together. I am also in the process of collecting scraps for the center block. Hopefully I'll iron and cut into the fabric tonight!
New to the list are a few things that may or may not actually happen....
ETA: finished the pillow yesterday after writing this post but before posting!
Apron- Bride to be might just get a cute retro apron. She doesn't cook much, but loves frilly retro items. I'll talk to the Hubbs see if that will be better then sending off the first quilt he actually has liked!
Baby Houser- A friend is due in late fall with baby 2. I'm sure I'll be making something as soon as we find out the sex. I'm thinking embroidered items, blanket, pillow, etc. Mommy sews so I'm sure nursing covers etc would be made by her if she wants them... but I'll tackle the fun things!
ACK! The Housers are having another!?!?! She needs to blog more! Hurray for them!
