Tea Towels

My sister is starting a hope chest for her daughter this Christmas and I decided to do up some tea towels to add to it for her gift from me. I have only been able to complete two of them so far but will work on the other 5 throughout the year to come and send them to her to add to it as I complete them.

Reading Pillow

My Isaiah is quite the reader and so when I saw this pattern for a reading pillow at one of my local quilt shops, I just had to get it. It was fairly quick and easy to put it together. I cut out the pieces yesterday afternoon while the three older kiddos were at school and then spent this afternoon putting it together.
I did get it a little overstuffed and need to remove some of the polyfil but otherwise it turned out super cute and I can't wait to see Isaiah using it.
It has two pockets on it. One for pencils/pens and one for eye glasses. Since he does not wear eye glasses I think I will stick a flash light in that packet so he can "sneak" and read at night when he is suppose to be sleeping.

*Updated to add Isaiah with his reading  pillow on Christmas day

Christmas Tree Pants

I Love the Tutorial that Happy Zombie put together for her Christmas Tree Pants and decided to try it out, making one for my sister for Christmas. All of her Christmas decor is done in blue, white and silver and after finding fabrics in these colors I got started.
Here it is waiting to be quilted.

I like how it turned out and it was really easy and quick. I think I will have to do a few more for gifts next year.

Reuseable Produce Bag

I found these neat produce bags at a local quilt shop and decided to embroider one for mum for Christmas.

I just put the finishing stitch in and need to go run an iron over it

Pink and Gray

A woman at church contacted me about doing a carseat cover for her sister who is expecting a little girl. I really like the color combo and made a couple burp cloths with some of the extra fabric.
