little sister...

well my sister is having her second kiddo...and its a girl!! she has a boy so how fun to have a girl!!! she wanted a bright pink with black and white and since she had to ask me................. I made two...
because of my guilt that she even had to ask...
sheesh I should have just made one.... so rude of me..so hoping she will forgive me by buttering her up with not 1, but 2 fun baby quilts!!! Both backed with super soft white.....

Scrabble anyone???

well I made this for fun...I first started by finding the wood grain fabric which I ended up getting from ebay.. not cheap.. but it was perfect so..... Then I went through a few different alphabet sets to find the right size and font for the letters! Finally finding the right ones I got to stamping..I made my board on the computer..a replica of a real scrabble board, then added our words..The kids helped me decide what to put on the quilt...what words represented our family:) I made all of the tiles..then they sat on my desk for months.......Until I picked them up and started putting them together...Now its all hung up at the end of our stairs.. but I think its too long...I am thinking of chopping the top off and just having the "board" be the quilt... Hain says to leave it and since he is the only one who can reach it, it may be there for a while:)
