Time to relax a little. Hopefully.
So, here are some of the things I have made:
Lot's and lot's of pencil rolls.
The idea to include a note pad is originally from Fishsticksandfries. I modified it a little and added the note pad on the side instead of on top of the pencils. I also didn't use any interfacing/fleece.
Some for boys,
(Don't ask, but Blogger keeps flipping this pic for unknown reasons...)
some for girls,(The top one in this pic is for Yanic.)
Isn't it funny?! Neither John or I, nor Yanic for that matter, are left-handed. And along come these twins, and BOTH are left handed. It even says so in their Pre-school "mid term" evaluation ;-)
(It also rolls up nicely. Just like the pencil rolls.)
(This is the quilt top, just before I started making the quilt sandwich.)
And have you ever seen a corner so perfectly mitered???!!!(For the backing I used an old flannel sheet.)
Love how the light and dark blue are making the T-shirt pieces pop. I think Yanic will really like it. This quilt is lap quilt size: 40 x 60 inches. I really like this size for working on. Small enough to handle on my machine but still big enough to make a nice-sized blanket.
The next quilt I will make for him will be from all his Hockey tournement shirts. But, it will be a few years before I can start working on that :-)
So, that's it for now. Tomorrow, I am off to the Mall (the most hated place for me...) to buy last-minute gifts for the ones that do not care too much for handmade presents.
