Baby Shower and quilting.

I think the baby shower was a huge success.  At least that is what I am told and my daughter was very happy with all the decorations, food, layout and we had a good turn out, too.

 

Here's a few pictures of the shower.

(ok...I give up, these favors just don't want to be upright)

This is a small pot of culinary thyme and the stick says "It's Thyme"

IT"S A BOY!!!

 

 

 

Now that all is done (with this anyways as I have a wedding shower and a wedding coming up  too in the family), I have had time and energy to get into the sewing room today.

 

I have a baby quilt cut out for my daughter

 

Houndstooth.

 

 

It will be in the charcoal and white same as the pattern.

 

I, also, cut out a new quilt called Fancy That.

 

 

 

One of the gals at my last retreat made one and I have done nothing but think about it since then.  I picked up these fabrics while attending the AQS Grand Rapids show.

 

 

 

Here they are all cut up.  All I need now is the background fabric.

 

 

 

I, also, cut out my $25 a yard Ricky Tims fabric that I bought at my retreat with him earlier this summer. 

 

 

 

Here it is cut up in its strips.  This is going to be a simple version of his convergence quilts.

 

 

 

So, I have a few things cut out today.  Hopefully tomorrow I can sit and sew and start making some headway on my projects.  It's been way too long and now that the busy-ness  is done, I can devote more time to my sewing room.
