shaggy denim quilt


This is the second quilt that I have finished for Christmas. Two to go...Jake's quilt is almost finished(working on the binding). Zac's quilt has 4 or 5 blocks done. I'll share those when they are finished.


Ryder enjoying his brothers left-over oatmeal - I sure hope he uses that napkin:)

For Ryder's quilt I cut my denim into pieces that were the same width, but different lengths. I sewed the pieces right side together to make long strips and then sewed the long strips wrong sides together. SO...the quilt will have shaggy stripes. Make sense? Doesn't make much sense to me either. Anyway, I backed it with some fun shaggy minky and sewed the top, batting and back together along each side of the shaggy stripe. It is a nice warm rugged quilt. Perfect for the 18 month old who will be destroying..I mean loving it!

Milk Cartons


My sister made these milk cartons and filled them with whoppers to give to the primary teachers in her ward after they had their annual primary program at church. I LOVE them. I am going to be making some soon for something....maybe visiting teaching or thank you.s for the kids teachers...hmmm... She found these here and used the pattern from here.
