Let's Have A Picnic

My Children's school is getting for their annual auction and each of their classes has settled on a theme for their class basket. Sarah's class decided they wanted to do a camping themed basket and one of the parents thought it would be great to have a picnic blanket to include. So my thinking cap went on and this is what I came up with:

 Each of the children in Sarah's class did a finger print ant around the boarder and signed their name to personalize the quilt. The top is now ready to visit my favorite quilter.

Blue and Cream Pillowcases

I am trying to complete a Christmas gift each month and was successful this month completing this set of pillowcases to be tucked away for a special someone for Christmas.

Flocking Together

I finally completed this project last night. I think it turned out well. Now off to give it a wash and block it.

Pinwheels In The Works

I made a pinwheel sampler quilt from this fabric back in the spring for my daughter's teacher and was so excited that there was enough to make a second quilt from it since it turned out so beautifully. Well I finally have gotten started on it and am just as pleased the second time around.

Crochet Heart Banner

Using a tutorial found on Skip to my Lou, I have made several of these crochet heart banners.One for the house and three others to include in Valentine's gifts I will be giving out this year. They are super quick to make and loads of fun.

Could Not Resist

...making a couple more bags with the remnants of this fabric. Sarah was invited to attend a birthday party for a friend and so we decided to make another of the lunch bags to double as a gift bag and part of the birthday gift. There was just enough remaining of the fabric following this to make a cellphone purse that I took in to a coworker to give to her daughter.

Lunch Bag

After seeing the super cute lunch bags on Pinterest that Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet made using Ayumi's tutorial I just had to make one. I had promised one of my daughters a scripture bag and thought this would be perfect. Using some remnants from outfits I did for the girls a couple of weeks ago and some coordinating fabric leftover from another project this is what we have:

I added a pocket on the inside to hold a pencil/pen and her Faith in God booklet
