A favorite sewing project!

Okay, so I went out shopping to Wal-Mart late one night and had this great thought...I think I should make TWO quilts for my dear friends for their baby shower in TWO days. So, the semi-crazy person that I am I decided to do it. Yes, I assumed because I love sewing so much that my "normal" mom life would be put on hold. I had TWO LATE nights and a few hours during the day and I was able to get one finished. But it was only possible because Ashley helped sew one and Jared went to work late one day and took over the kids and house duty! Either way it was a blast!

This is Emily's quilt! Or should I say soon to be baby Annie!!!

This is Camille's quilt! or should I say....Baby Girl?
They are a rag quilt but not. All the edges are left raw so when you wash it they are soft and frayed. I love the addition of the JUMBO rick-rack. They really were super easy and so adorable once you wash them. I just made it out of flannel so it is extra soft and BIG...it will make a great camping quilt!! (The one on the left has been washed twice and the one on the right hasn't been washed yet.)

Here are the lucky friends who ended up with everything PINK for their baby GIRL shower (Emily, me, Camille)...but not a real shower just a lunch of some friends, but of coarse we had to surprise them with TONS of girl presents!. It is so fun celebrating the arrivals of these two new little babies! Come soon....

Love those. Man your so creative.
Good thing I didn't see this post until after I just got back from the fabric store. I'd be even more in debt. But such a cute idea that I'll have to try soon.

What cute quilts. The stripes are such an improvement on the old fashioned patchwork quilts.

So cute! I am so glad you have gotten the sewing bug, I tell you it's the best thing in the world to finish your own quilt. The quilts are just adorable!
