"Sassy"

So, I decided to name Sadie's quilt "Sassy", partly because of the fabric line, Sasparilla, and partly because I think Sadie is gonna have a sassy personality.  We could see evidence of that even before she was born (seriously, you could see the attitude on the sonogram!)
 
The lighting wasn't optimal this morning, it's pretty dreary outside, but still better than the crappy indoor lighting in my house.
 
It's made from Sasparilla (Riley Blake) charm packs, with yardage from the same line for the binding and back.
 



 
Oddly, only the horizontal quilting shows up in this pic, but I promise there are vertical lines as well.

 
See, I told ya! 
 
 
(And look how much straighter this straight-line quilting is than it was on my previous quilt!)
 
I'm not extremely happy with this label, but at least it has the pertinent info on it.
 
The pen I used was too fine, I had to trace over the writing several times.  I'll have to order a new pen. 

 
Now I just have to give her a good washing (I used basting spray so I want to get all that out) and she will be ready for Miss Sadie to snuggle with.

Tuesday's Tales

So, here is where I am on my Hexies by Halves quilt along with Polly.
 
Top is done!! 
 
It needs another good (really good!) pressing, and the sides have to be trimmed, but I will wait until I am ready to start quilting to do that. 
 
The light was fading, so these pics aren't the best.
 


 
And I got Sadie's quilt top pieced last night. 
 
This is just charm packs of Sasparilla (Riley Blake).
 
(These pics are really bad because they were made indoors, very late)
 


 
I hope to get to quilt this one pretty soon.  Nothing fancy.  Probably just straight line, maybe on the diagonal if I'm feeling adventurous. 
 
I did get to babysit Saturday night and let Sadie try out the new quilt!

WIP(s) Wednesday!

Broke open my Sasparilla charm packs last night to get started on a new quilt for Miss Sadie. 

 
And still working on this quilt along with Polly.
 
 
I did have two great finishes already this week (yeah, I'm excited!) if you want to read about my diaper bag and play quilt.
 
 
Happy Wednesday y'all !!
