I've sent you an email.  Thanks everyone for entering.

I'm not sure if it's summer or what, but I just haven't been feeling the quilting bug lately.  I am working on a baby quilt for a friend of mine, but I feel like I have to force my self to work on it.  I'll post it soon, it's just about there.

My daughter started school last week (my first), and I knew she wanted to wear a skirt the first day, I offered to buy her one or make one, and she actually chose a handmade one!  I was thrilled, and think it turned out really cute. 

I used the tutorial found here (really, really easy!)

  5. So so cute !!! You should make matching shorts for Calvin, and matching bib for your baby for your Christmas card. I'm so jealous that your kids enjoy handmade clothes. Hope it lasts. Miss you!

  6. i LOVE the skirt! oh my cuteness! what a stylish girl you have. :)

    i am suppose to be making baby quilts too and i'm feelin' the same as you. it's crunch time for me for the next week. even though i love the result and the giving part... there is just so many other things that pull us away FIRST or the other things we want to do...then we don't have the energy for the other optional things. even though we love the optional things. of course! now i'm babbling. :)

    i'll be thinking of you when i'm sewing. hehe. ;)

  9. I LOVE the fabric you've used - especially for the border! never thought of combining the two!

    gorgeous, I saved a few metres of princess and the pea and might just have to make my big miss one!
