Midwest Modern Girly Strips Skirt.

Ahhhhh! I manged to plant a garden, go window shopping, set up my new serger, take the kids to a birthday party, cut out this skirt and finish all in two days. I feel victorious. It turned out great and definitely love the Amy Butler fabrics I chose for the skirt. Also, a little hint for making this skirt, I was able to complete it with just 5 fat quarters.
Just four more projects to go. If you're keeping track yes I added one but it is a surprise.

Sewing Marathon...

Okay so I am racing to the finish line to finish my two WIPs with May 17th being my deadline. I am now two months behind on my rocket / space quilt for baby Andrew but he will patiently wait...all babies do....right?


I just finished cutting the squares and rectangles for my sports quilt for baby Cole. As I stated in an earlier blog I am planning on using the ragged squares technique seen on " Crazy Mom Quilts" blog spot: Ragged Squares. But mine will be a combo of rectangles and squares. Kinda modern, kinda vintage but hopefully capturing the sports theme without over doing it. Below is a seek peak at things to come.









I am also trying to start and complete a birthday gift for sweet little Avery this week. I am torn between the Pink Fig "Girly Stripwork" Skirt with a monogrammed top or the Oliver & S " swing Set Tunic & Skirt. I may actually do both depending on time. I'll post some fabric photos once I start.
