Catching Up

I'm still totally hooked on sewing kids' clothes, and I have so much to show you, but first, just to prove that I really am catching up on my Virtual Quilting Bees, here are the quilt blocks I sent out earlier this week:

Drunk Love in a Log Cabin for Emily from Fresh Comfort Two (I'm ashamed to say these were for August.):

Flying Geese for Frieda from Beatnik Bee (yep, also August):

Log Cabins for Liz from Fresh Comfort (September):

And because I figured it made sense to just send one package to Liz, some String Blocks for Fresh Comfort Two (November - woo hoo - I'm actually on time for one):

And finally Dutchman's Puzzle for Shari from Beatnik Bee (September):

And to prove I actually mailed them (which, for me, is sometimes the hardest part):

I'm still behind, but at least I'm in the right season now.

Since I'm listing some of my finally completed crafting "obligations", here's a little blanket that some of my knitting friends and I made for a friend who is about to have a baby.  We each knit up a square or two then I sewed all the squares together and added the binding.  It was a bit challenging because all the squares weren't the same size.  I thought backing it and binding it like a quilt might help stretch things out where needed.  I tried this three different times, but it really just made for bunchy fabric.  I think it came out okay.

I hit up Alewive's 20% off sale last week because I figured that after all that catching up, I deserved it.  Check out this fabric eye candy:

I hope to have some cute little toddler clothes to show you from it soon.

Thanks, Heidi. It feels so good to be able to cross stuff off my list. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Quite a few more to go still.
