Labor of Love...Most of the Time

So for the last month and a half or so, this is what I've been up to. I made my first quilt! It is a twin size for Lillie's big girl bed. I can't say it was the funnest thing I've ever done, but I enjoyed doing most of it and I've learned a lot. I picked Freshcut by Heather Bailey for my fabric because it's so cute and I'd already made a couple of skirts and a dress out of some of this fabric. Lillie loves the quilt so that's all that matters.

In fact, today, Lillie was trying to go "potty" on her little toilet and ran off without a diaper on and went and sat on the quilt. When I rushed over to get her off, she had already left a little puddle of pee. Sigh. It hadn't even been finished for a day. Eric just said that he was sure that wouldn't be the last stain, pee, food, dirt, crayon, etc. I'm sure he's right.

 

 

 


This last picture is a preview of my next project. It's one of the things I am going to do with the left over fabric. It's gonna be cute!

Are we really related, what the heck. That turned out so good, you can start on another quilt for Maddie's future toddler bed while your feeling ambitious. Why don't you have an etsy page yet?
