Finished!

Well, except for tearing out the Bs in the corner, as the boy this was originally for is now big and our cousin just found out she's having a boy!  But in general quilted and bound. Used thread to match the top, so the back looks fun.  Real non cellphone camera photos coming once I get them off the camera!

Quilt Festival!

Last year the preview night for the quilt festival was Halloween, in downtown Houston, so I skipped it, just going in a frenzied pace the following day.  

This year, I went on preview night - SO MUCH FUN!  

(One of my favorite quilts from last year - couldn't take a straight-on photo.)

Just hit up the vendor room last night, but going back tomorrow - and seeing if a class I'm interested in is open.  So excited!

This was my favorite quilt last year - love the background, love the variety, love the triangles (I like triangles), love the whole thing.  It's been my phone lock screen wallpaper for a year.

Vendors last night, quilt displays tomorrow - so excited!

Sleep sack

My monkey sleep-crawls, so blankets are a ways off still, but she's outgrown her sleep sack.  Easy enough to make a new one, though.

One nearly down

Just backstitch to do!

Wise men

Well, progress on one at least!

Fabric books

I love making the fabric books from panels.  I recently made these four (holidays from Joann, Pooh from Etsy) for my little nephew.  Drool? Washing machine!  My kidlet still loves the Rudolph and Night Before Christmas ones I made her.  And there is something new on the market: http://redbikestudio.blogspot.com/2013/08/hugabook-tm.html
Book with matching soft toy!  Have to try that out soon.

Christmas!

I don't know how all these people churn out cross stitch projects so quickly.  Think I can get a half dozen of these by Christmas?
