I just found out a co-worker is expecting their first baby. You know what that means, right? Yup, dropped everything else and started a baby quilt! Inspired by a photo I saw on Pinterest, I got my first nine blocks sewn up today. Blocks are 6.5" unfinished. I don't think I'm going to add a border, so this will likely end up around 36" square.
Working on this also made it easy to complete a black block for my scrappy bear claw quilt.
In other sewing news, I also sewed two buttons on today. I've been putting it off forever (literally for years with the pajama top) and it only took about seven minutes. Why do I hate mending so much?
Yesterday and I finished knitting my first mitten and made sure to cast on the second right away.
And since it has been so cold, I curled up on the couch to continue hand quilting this Starburst quilt so the quilt could warm me while I worked. I have yellow, pink and blue finished with purple, green, red and orange left to go.
It looks like we are about to get more snow, but since we are a boarding school, there's no chance of a snow day. Oh well, I'm just not ready for this crafty weekend to end!
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap and Monday Making.
