So my stitching is a little crooked. :) But I still love my little doll quilt I whipped up for my youngest girl. I made it from a free pattern offered over at: http://nanacompany.typepad.com/nanacompany/2012/04/a-free-sweet-dreams-little-one-pdf-pattern-.html
We are doing homemade Christmas again this year and I have started with this project. I love that the Fat Quarter shop now carries the little 2 inch pre-cuts!
Happily, I finally managed to get this selection of fabric squares off of my cutting board and made into a little baby quilt/playmat or just a happy wall hanging. I have yet to decide. I am still also debating on what to back and bind it with. I call it my Square Chalk Box. Quilting should be done by Friday as long as my littlest is agreeable. :) I love my little Cheerio eating monkey. He captivates me so much of my time an I am more than happy to give him loads of my attention. They grow so fast! What takes you away from quilting?
Lately it's been work. I've been working six days in a row and anywhere from 11 to 12 hours! :) Great on a paycheck.. bad for homelife and fun time. But overall worth it because it's giving me that little extra money for Christmas. We are opening up a new Walmart store (moving into a new building) here in Chester, SC and after this week I'll be going into training for my ZMS position (Zone Merchandise Supervisor) I recently got. But can't wait for things to go to "normal" and on a normal 8 hour schedule to get back to my kids and my sewing! :)
