A Quilt for Baby LeSchea

One of my coworkers is thisclose to giving birth and she happens to be one of the nicest people in the world. So needless to say, I had to make a baby quilt for her.

Some time ago, I bought a Quick Cuts Skill-Builder Leaflet from Walmart (barf, I know) that had two different baby quilt projects on it. I've searched and searched online, but can't find it anywhere. There were two projects in the leaflet- a basic quilt they called the "Bubblegum Quilt" and another one simple titled "Baby Quilt."

A Runner for Jo

Most of the things I sew end up becoming presents when I get done with them, and oftentimes the recipient is my sister.

I saw this tutorial for a table runner at Lella Boutique and desperately wanted to make one for myself. I used scraps of fabric I had leftover from the Boxed In quilt that I made for Grandma. I wanted the background of the runner to have an organic look to it, so I bought some muslin because I liked the little flecks throughout it.

Blargh...

Ugh, having no money can seriously suck the motivation out of anyone. I desperately need to work on the quilt Momma picked out for her birthday, but there's just never any spare cash to go to the quilt shop.

Between working two jobs and taking care of my Etsy shop and craft shows, I don't have much time for sewing. I haven't touched Vanishing Squares since March but I think I'll do a little of that over this Memorial Day weekend. I'll post pictures of its progress soon!
