Tyler's T-shirt Quilt

 

This quilt top has been completed for a few months but with two small children I haven't been able to carve out the time to quilt and bind it. My husband encouraged me to finish it by taking the children for a day.  I wasn't able to complete that day but just getting started on the quilting processes re-energized me and I managed to get a day of quilting in with my children and a few hours here and there to finish it. This morning I finished sewing the back of the binding on and put it in the wash.  I love the look of a newly completed quilt just after being washed and dried!

I didn't work on any other projects due to my sick little 3 year old.  Doesn't she look pitiful?

My Unfinished Projects

Today I am trying to finish up some projects that are in need of just a little bit of my time.

This morning I just completed a breastfeeding cover for a friend who is due at the end of January. I had started this a couple of weeks ago and needed about an hour to complete it. I like to add a small pocket on the nursing cover so that the mom is able to put her nursing pad or the child's pacifier in there.  The pocket is made out of soft terry cloth just in case she needs to wipe up some spittle. I also made a burp cloth to go with the cover that can be rolled up with the cover inside and tied.  It makes it nice to always have a burp cloth with you and it keeps your cover nicely folded up in the diaper bag.

The next project on my agenda today is to finish quilting my husband's cousin's graduation quilt.  I have worked on it a couple of times and I am almost finished. I am hoping it will not take much time today.  I will then need to start working on the binding.  My goal is to have it completed by the end of the week!
