M-I-Z.......Z-O-U!!!!

March madness is here and so is Spring....well if you call three inches of snow Spring! I didn't even realize until after I made this dress that it was MU's colors. How appropiate! So here is my little MU dress for March Madness (you will not see any red and blue dress on this blog...EVER!!!) :) GO MU!!!!!

Hedgehog Skirt!!

When I was at our last Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild I found the cutest print of hedgehogs!!! Yes...hedgehogs. Instead of thinking how can I use this in a quilt my mind went straight to "this would be great in a skirt or dress." Started working last night on this skirt...made a few changes from the pattern to suit me....and I love it. It is so cute! Who ever thought to make hedgehog fabric....too cute!!

I haven't been sewing that much lately. Between taking the kids to the doctor's, not felling that great over the weekend, and tiling the kitchen, oh yeah and did I mention that I had not done laundry in two or three days. That is a nightmare trying to catch up with a family of six if I don't do laundry. Enough about the boring stuff. I finished Hadlee's hat yesterday and am so excited about it. The Flower comes off and can be a little hair bow or something. Although it might be to big for her....so i am thinking of making smaller ones for pig tails (will post later). I was going to take great pics of Hadlee with her new hat....but the weather is terrible and she has two huge bumps on her head...oh yeah and the green marker she ate last night doesn't help :) So on to the next project.

How many projects is to many?

My question for you: How many projects are you working on right now? How many of those have you stopped working on and they aren't finished???? I have to put binding on a quilt....I started a new quilt for a project......I need to sew on buttons on a coat.....I started a hat...and I still haven't finished Hadlee's baby scrapbook. So that total would be 5!!! I have 5 projects that I am either working on, or haven't finished. So how many projects are you doing right now?

My quilt is back from Angela...she did a AWESOME job and I can't tell you how happy I am with it. I am in the process of binding it...along with a new project that we received from my meeting at Kansas city Modern Quilt guild. It was a great night....met lots of new people and hung out with some great friends. Mind you I don't know half the things they are talking about, since i am new to quilting, but I can google it :) The project is we all got a packet of Tula Pinks new fabric Plume...and we have to use it and only 1 1/2 yards of some other fabric for the front. I got home and thought about it and decided to make yo yos...so last night while I was watching the Olympics I made yo yos.....i just love them. Know I am wondering how and what I am going to do with them Need to make a run to Stewarstville to the Quilt Shoppe (one of my fav places) and pick up something to go along with the yo yos...and I am thinking ribbon too!?!

My quilt that I made for Drew is almost finished..I am getting it back from Angela tom...I am so excited. This will be my second quilt that I have sewed so far since starting this little adventure I am on. I have almost finished the quilt I am working on for Carter...it is made of some of the same fabric (since there aren't a lot of boy fabrics out there that aren't babish). I love the fabric though and am really excited about Carter's quilt. Next on the list of things I want to do...make a skirt for Parker out the rose pedal fabric and start on a purse. That I know is going to be challenging....but with this weather! Ugh!!! I feel as though I have been in my house non-stop for about three months...oh wait I have.

I finished a new little jacket for Hadlee last night with a matching hat. I used my new fabric, the rose pedal fabric, and I love it. I still need buttons for the jacket and am thinking of putting maybe a ribbon on the hat. Who knows. I just love the fabric and am thinking of making a skirt for Parker and maybe using it somehow in a quilt!! Oh yeah.....I got a new machine last night and LOVE it. It is so wonderful. I spent to much money...but my husband, Ryan, was wanting me to get one that was nice and last a long time. He was so happy with the machine that he messed around on it for about and hour.
