Recent Crafts

I thought it would be fun to post a few of the recent things that I have made, excluding of course those made as Christmas gifts.

Here is a gorgeous shopping cart cover that I made for my sister.



And here she is with her adorable son modeling the bag that it goes in. Love how we figured out how to make it have a sling strap. Totally a last minute idea but well worth the time it took to remove a few stitches.
I also recently decided that Emy's baby doll needed a blanket and since I have a ton of extra fabric from various projects I decided to make it a quilt. And since I can't figure out how to rearrange the pictures these are in reverse order.


Emy prefered to sit on the blanket at first but now she has gotten the idea that it is for the baby.

just the pieces. I decided to make it a bit smaller but this was the original design. Not bad for my first quilt experience and a big thanks to my husband for helping place the squares. I tend to like things that are in a pattern and I wanted this random so I needed help.
