Oh Baby!

Baby girl quilt made from onesies

Close-up of square on baby girl quilt

Baby quilt for a boy with camp fleece back. Dad likes to hunt! The plaid shirt squares were from one grandfather who passed away before the baby was born. Camo square, as well as the "Screamin' Eagle" patch, from other grandfather. I made a matching throw pillow too. Baby will have a memento to treasure from his grandfathers.

Skirting the Issue

Fun, bright, and modern print for the skirt

We've all seen this issue, ugly school bathroom! Paint the walls, add cute modern artwork, and cover the utilitarian sink (with all of it's plumbing glory showing) with a fun, bright fabric skirt. I sewed velcro to the skirt and used double-sided mounting tape to attach the other side of the velcro to the sink.

Re-covered dining room chairs

This is the same dining room I posted about a couple of weeks (I think!) ago. I made the curtains with self-border made from the reverse side of the fabric. We considered some sort of trim but when I swathe back of the fabric, it was just as pretty and finished-looking as the front! I just folded, pressed, and top-stitched along the lengthwise fold. These curtain panels were double-width so they were still really full even when I used about 5 inches of fabric on the inside edge for the border.
