New dress

The baby slept well this afternoon, so I cut out a new dress for her - the Baby Square Yoke so popular among Martha Pullen fans. The first one I made was nice, but huge on my tiny baby... so of course I cut this one a size larger (hey, don't want it outgrown too soon!), but I did change a few of the options to make it look a bit smaller.

Stars progress

In other news, the stars quilt
 has its border,
 is pin basted,
and (pardon overexposure) is being quilted.

If I keep at it, it'll be done for Christmas.

Procrastiquilt


So, because I have a list of things to do a mile long, I decided to make this quilt from In Color Order. Looks fast and fun!
The center is three feet square!

Pajamas

Older pattern - man, am I glad the government came to their senses and changed that rule! I like making clothes for the baby, but it's nice that I can legally purchase all-cotton pajamas now!

To save time, take time to check the gauge

And I actually did, but not well enough. After seeing someone who went up a needle size complain on Ravelry that it was too large, when my gauge came between two needles, I went for the one called for in the pattern... This is the result. The back, done in the size described, tight and narrow, the same width as a front panel done properly in a larger needle. Back frogging to come...
