Back to Business

So, the camping adventure is over

too bad....so sad!

Breakfast tastes so good when cooked and enjoyed outside while watching other folks wake up and go about their day

While I was away, the sky broke loose in my etsy shop and I have been frantically filling orders since I came back!  (I'm not complaining!...gotta pay the bills, right?)

Anyway, in the midst of making things for other people I managed to finish a couple of "fun" things and want to link up to amylouwho's Sew-n-Tell Friday.  A few weeks ago I made a bunch of these quilt blocks from my Heather Bailey collection and was able to stretch them out to use in a couple of projects.

First I made a quillow (you know, one of those things that is both a pillow and a quilt all wrapped up in one)

and then I squeezed a baby quilt out of the rest of the blocks.

I could just shoot myself for not seeing this earlier - two almost identical blocks side by side

Funny how I didn't see it while I quilting it or anything....I think I was concentrating so much on placing the blocks so the border fabrics wouldn't clash too much.

But, no big deal, right?  I enjoyed trying out a new free motion quilting technique in a flower design

That was a new one for me and I like the way it turned out.   I enjoy making baby quilts - they're fairly quick to put together and always look so pretty!

So, now that I've 'played around' for a bit, it's back to business!
