The Next 2 Blocks

So I still don't have a clue as to what the final quilt will look like, but my curiosity is stirred.  I'm finding it a challenge to select fabrics when I don't even know which blocks go next to each other.  It is also liberating to have to let go of my control over design and colour selection.  Who knows how this quilt will look when completed?  It really is a mystery.

Sewing Projects for December

15.  More Receiving Blankets

I fell in love with this penguin Christmas fabric and made this receiving blanket for my new nephew Gideon.
I also loved the frog fabric.  This one went to a co-worker of my daughter's.

16.  Knitted Baby Socks

I just love knitting these things... especially if the yarn is patterned.  Its always a mystery as to how the sock will turn out.

17.  Large Purse

This was a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law, Rebeka.  It is large enough to double as a diaper bag if she wishes, but not baby enough to look like one.

18.  Sugar Loaf Purses / Bags

I made two of these cute purses / Cosmetic Bags for Gifts... one to match Rebeka's purse, and the other as a Birthday gift for my neice.  I filled it with a package of Skittles, some Skittles flavoured Lip Smackers, some small Toblerone chocolates and a gift card.  What fun!  She loved the fabric.

19.  Baby Slippers

I came across a free pattern on the internet to make these baby slippers.  I had fun making them for my new nephew, Gideon.  I made a size 0 which just fits snuggly if he has thin socks on.  I will be making him another pair in a larger size.  Note to self... make at least a size 1 for newborn gifts.
