"Sew" Busy

I have been super busy with (what seems like) a million sewing projects. I have (finally) finished embroidering and sewing my 2 pillows (projects started about 4 years ago), finished a minkie quilt started by my mom (not shown), made curtains for the baby's room (not shown), used leftover material to make the girls "church bags", made a flannel receiving blanket w/ ric rac, made 3 fleece blankets for the kids' Christmas presents. (Picture above is Peyton's baby quilt....I can't remember if I showed you guys the finished quilt or not...so here it is!)

So, what's next...put binding on a lap quilt, figure out what to make with the piles of scraps I have lying around, and start on another quilt from the 15+ patterns I have from my good friend Camille from Thimble Blossoms or her mother, Bonnie, from Cotton Way. Anyone up for a sewing party?!?

Amber - I love all the projects you've been working on. I have been bitten by the sewing bug - but I don't know how to sew!! What kind of sewing machine do you have? I asked for one for Christmas. What does a beginner need to know to do what you do?!

Cute cute!! I feel like I've been so busy doing sewing projects as well! And I'm still not done! That first quilt you posted is SO cute! I wished we lived closer to eachother and we could work on this kind of stuff together!
