A neighbor friend had a birthday so I made her this skirt:
And a little wristlet. It's my first try; I need to make some more and perfect my technique:
I got some fabric the other day. I love this pink Sultry floral print and will make something for my little girl to wear from it. Not sure what I will do with the charm pack yet but I love charm packs.
This little set is a belated baby gift for a friend. I don't know if she reads my blog, if so I hope she pretends to be surprised when I give it to her! I love how this turned out:
The tag blanket has some ribbon, some wide twill tape, and some bias tape for the tags. I love the colors on this and think it turned out so cute. I made a couple of similar tag blankets a while ago for my girl and my friend Heather's baby and just used one layer of quilt cotton and one layer of baby corduroy. L's seems a little flimsy so for this one I decided to sandwich a layer of flannel in the middle of the two fabric layers to give it some body.
Ok. Finally, on to the giveaway. I started piecing this together as a bit of an "enders and leaders" project while I was making L's strip quilt. I decided to make it into a mini quilt and give it away to one of my readers. Here it is all basted:
It is already halfway quilted. I am doing some ocean wave quilted lines and some just plain wavy lines. I will probably do the quilting on L's quilt very much the same. As soon as I finish it up I will mail it off to the lucky winner. All you have to do to enter is comment here. Please tell me your name, where you live, and what you are making, what you are reading, or just plain old what you are doing these days. I will close the comments and have my assistants help me draw out a name on Friday around lunch time. (I am leaving the computer off until after lunch these days.)
I hope you are having a good Wednesday!

You've been busy!! The Sultry collection is gorgeous, and your mini quilt is very pretty indeed :)
that green and lime fabric is beautiful! I love the mini quilt. I'm sewing bits here and there but mostly cooking and blegh mending.
Great work! I've been working on my first ever quilt-a-long:

Summer is a perfect time for me to get caught up before the rush of school activities begins again. : )
This will make a great mini-quilt. I, myself, have been busy preparing my musical angels quilt for quilting. So far I've got it laid out and I'm in the process of pinning it for quilting. I've posted pictures of it on my blog if you're interested: http://threadstofabric.blogspot.comI live in Washington state and I'm always reading a couple of books at once. LOL
That skirt is darling! Congrats on reaching your 200th post! I *just* launched my own blog (this morning!) and I can't wait to see it grow over the years.
Today I've been trying to get a shirt cut out for my daughter, but so far have only gotten around to putting pumpkin orange bread in the oven and soup for supper on the stovetop. I didn't even get the dishes done yet. *sigh*

I'm from Northern California where the weather has been unusually, yet perfectly cool. So, I've been doing some sewing. I just made a blanket doll for my six month old (and posted the tutorial on my blog: www.giftsfromthedivine.blogspot.com).
Thanks for all the sewing inspiration!
Love the fabric!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the wrist-let! Awesome! Im sewing on dresses for fall! Im currently reading Seams to me and beautiful skin of color. I cant wait to see the quilt when its finished!!!!! YAY!
I really like the quilt in your header too...is it one of yours? I'm Shelley from northern Maine. I'm busy making lotto blocks; this month is warm/cool log cabins. I'm doing a quilt along making an art quilt wallhanging; and I'm always making more baby quilts to have on hand...I've got two at different stages. Soon, it'll be Christmas stuff to start on.
I am Michele from Central Maine. To be honest, I am not a crafty person-I wish I was but between not having the time and not being good at it I have kind of given up. I am currently reading the Twilight book everyone has been talking about for the past year or so and I am busy working days for our fuel assistance program getting ready for the winter! Love the mini quilt!

I have been to the beach last week (Isle of Palm, SC) and am going back this weekend with hubby. Our daughter lives in Charleston, SC. I am currently cutting out and will be sewing her a new Birdie bag from Amy Butler's pattern.

Such gorgeous stuff, Vicki! Beautiful quilt and such a darling skirt. I need to call you... seems forever since we chatted. My cellphone died yesterday though--broke in 2 pieces!
I love reading your posts, your are on my Google reader. My name is Cynthia and I live in Florida. I am currently working on many things, finishing a baby quilt for my daughter, working on a paperdoll quilt, binding 3 quilted quilts, and reading? there is only so much time in the day. I guess you could say that I read the computer.... I would love to win the mini quilt! It is beautiful.
I don't know if I'm too late, but I just found your site! And I wanted to post anyways because I love all the things you make.
I plan on making a mini I-Spy quilt for my daughter for Christmas. It will be my first ever! I am sew excited!
I also dabble in making her cloth diapers and some clothes.
My name is Ersula and I am from Maine =]
I just read it wasn't too late to enter (it's around 8pm EST my time). I am new to sewing--just posted some drawstring bags I made from a tutorial and I'm also a wannabe quilter. Thx. -JC
