Receiving Blankets

Here are a couple of receiving blankets I finished up recently. I have tons of flannel on hand right now and have started making receiving blankets with matching burp cloths. As soon as I get a few done I will post them.

Baby Burp Cloths

I thought I'd try making some baby burp cloths. Two I covered the middle with this adorable flannel. The other one I sewed baseball ribbon down the seams. I think they are super cute. Will probably make more as these are going to be shipped off soon for baby presents.

Spring Boutique Tomorrow

Featuring yours truly and lots more very talented people. Hope to see you there!

Embroidered Handkerchiefs

Printed or cursive? Initials or first name?

My new sewing machine does embroidery. I think they would make fabulous Father's Day presents.

I'm going to package them up in Origami gift boxes. The handkerchiefs fit in them perfectly.

Scaves by Stacey

Scarves are my signature item that I've made the most of. I starting crocheting them around 5 years ago. During the busy months I've crocheted while hanging out with friends watching movies and playing games. I've even been known to crochet scarves while walking around Disneyland and in movie theaters as well. I played around with a couple different designs but finally settled on one. I love this project because it uses an entire skein and I'm not left with anything extra to figure out what to do with. Everyone loves how soft they are. I've had many friends take the scarf basket to work and sell 20 or more in a day. I've even sold them right off me before. Over the past few years I've taught crochet classes and even sold scarf making kits. At my last couple craft shows I've mostly sold scarves which is funny since it was 97 degrees out both times. I guess if I can sell scarves when it's that hot it goes to show how good they are.

Pine Trees and Stars

I have no idea why this picture insists on being loaded sideways but there it is and I can't get it to change. These squares are leftover from a quilt I made Josh for his b'day a couple years ago when we were dating. The goldish squares have snowflakes and the green squares have pine trees and yellow stars. I actually had to piece together the bottom left pine tree rectangle and the bottom right pine tree rectangle is on its side. The squares were cut 10". The finished size of the quilt is approximately 33" square.

Bears & Brown Plaid Rag Quilt

Here's another rag quilt I made recently from some leftover squares my mom gave me. Here are all the blocks layed out. Some of them were already sewn together in an "X" so I stayed with that. The squares are 8".

And here's the quilt sewed together and clipped. Finished size: approx. 44" square.
