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.

Nice progress on SEW many projects this weekend!! Have fun with that new baby quilt. It's SEW perfect for an infant's visual stimulation!
There's a split 9-patch rather like yours in the new Kaffe Fassett book (Quilts in Burano). I've had my eye on it.....I like your version with the strong diagonals.
Such a fun baby quilt. Every baby needs a quilt!
I love your baby quilt start. Those bright colors really pop. I hate mending also -- especially hemming pants that aren't mine! Buttons not so awful. Impressive mitten and with a snowy weekend it will be needed (once it's match is done!) Hope you can squeeze a little sewing in this week.
I like the touch of color added to that black and white quilt. The minute I finish aa baby quilt and get back to my work in progress, it seems two more friends have babies. Wish I could make as good use of time as you seem to be doing.
I think we all dislike mending. It is so NOT quilting. Cute projects.
I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be.
