Bears! Oh my!

As mentioned in my previous post, our church is having a craft sale / bazaar next month.  One of the requirements of each vendor is that they donate an item valued at $10 or more for the silent auction.  These proceeds will go directly to our church for events such as our Fall/Halloween festival (games, crafts, candy, and hotdogs - no charge to participants) and other similar family events throughout the year.

I just finished my items.

Basket, bib, burp cloth ... with bears!  Oh my!  

Sewing room is still a wreck and I have to look and dig for every single item I need (I even had to buy new rulers, I have absolutely. no. idea. where my rulers went during the move) but I am sewing and that's a good thing.  I won't be making anything big (quilts) for a while, but I hope to make some placemats and mug rugs, both for the craft fair and for my own use this year.  

Stay tuned.  I'm slowly getting back in the swing of things!  

Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict today.

Really Random Stuff ....

Last week I posted the flannel / minky blanket I have made for BabyGurl's baby girl.  It's just a layer of flanner and a layer of minky, and topstitched around the edge.

I also made some burp cloths.  I put a layer of batting in the burp cloths to make them more absorbent so I quilted an X through them to help hold the batting in place after multiple washings.

Yes this picture is very blurry, don't look at it long, it will make your eyes water, but I did such a good job of rolling those burp cloths for the photo, and aren't my flowers pretty?

New project I am starting on.  Fat quarters pressed and starched, ready for cutting.

Sherri @ A Quilting Life emailed me last week to let me know I had won a giveaway she sponsored.  Today I got these lovelies in the mail: 

Looking forward to working with this rainbow of colors!

And, just for the heck of it, today's throwback Thursday pic.

Delivered

Uhm, the package is delivered, not the baby!

Finished this project up this weekend and gave it to the momma-to-be this morning, so I can share it now. 

I also made a little something for the big sister.
 

 

Bibs and burp towels for sweet baby girl, due in August.

Big sister's pouch is filled with pretty-girl goodies like nail polish (in some wild colors) and flavored lip gloss.
