Sewing Projects! :)

So, lets get this blog caught up a little. Technology has kinda been against me for the last couple of weeks and I am finally back on track. My camera started taking bad pics so these are not great, but you get the idea. Then, my computer charger broke so I was without a computer for about a week! SO, can't get the camera fixed, but we have a spare so my pictures of Rachel will be good, but the laptop is back up and running!

Here are my most recent sewing projects. I made a purse, it has pockets on the inside that match the floral fabric on the top. Can't really tell, but it is brown and has fringe between the two fabrics! I made Hannah this little dress that zips in the back and has sleeves. I took this picture before I ironed it, but hope to get a picture of her wearing it soon! :)

Then my most favorite thing of all...I have learned basic quilting! I have to say this is the project I am most proud of! I never knew how much money and time (and love) goes into each quilt! I have so much more respect for quilters now! I took a jelly roll (didn't even know what it was a few weeks ago, but it is pre-cut strips of fabric) and sewed three strips together, then cut them into squares that I sewed together to make the tops! I had a square made with each of the girls initials to personalize them. Then I added borders and actually quilted them myself! I just finished the binding on Hannah's quilt by hand and still need to do the binding on Rachel's. I decided to go ahead and put pics of Rachel's up, even though it isn't finished so you can see what it looks like! :)

Here is a picture where you can see the backing too! It is flannel and so soft and cozy! I still need to wash it, which will help it all bunch and fluff a little!And here is Rachel's quilt...And her initial, and unfinished edges! Same backing on both! :)
