Changing Pad

I just had to make a girly changing pad for S, since E had his own. I used the PUL fabric from JoAnn's Babyville line. It matched the diaper strap and car seat cover and shoulder straps that I've made, so my OCD side is thrilled. It was a quick sew, flip it right side out, and sew again project.

Baby Blankets

I made two more rag blankets. One is for Baby Girl, and the other is for my sister who just had a boy last week. I love them both, but I have to admit I love the girl flannels I found for mine!

Finished Quilt

I've had this quilt ready to bind for over a month. I just haven't had time and I've been really sick. So, yesterday I decided to finish it. I used the binding tutorial  here and it was PERFECT. I finished it in no time and now I have one more thing done for the nursery!

Quilt in progress

Here is the baby quilt so far. I'm probably not going to get around to binding it for a few weeks, and I'm really proud of the progress so I have to share.

Here is the top. I followed the instructions found here:

My friend has a long arm machine and graciously let me come take time on Saturday to quilt it. I was scared to death, because I'm a bit of an OCD perfectionist, and there is very little control of the machine. But we finished it and it turned out FANTASTIC. I stand back and look at it and it's perfect. Now I just have to find time to bind it!

Sewing for Baby Girl

I have been in a sewing frenzy to get things ready for baby girl's nursery. I have gotten so much done, but I haven't completely finished a thing! I have a quilt top done, a valance done but not hung, a changing pad cover 1/2 done, a crib skirt cut and ready to sew, and a bumper pad bought and ready to be altered. I'm also planning a pillow with my fabric scraps, and some decorations to hang in the room. It's all coming together SO well, and I can't wait to get it put together. It's been so much fun to gather ideas, find fabric, and really make this nursery come to life!
