On My Sewing Table and Health Update...

 Just want to be clear...no affiliate links in my post...just stuff I want to share and make it easier for you to find.....

Also if you are wanting to read the latest health update, I made a page to keep them out of the blog posts. No-one has said anything but I just wanted to keep this part of my blog just for the sewing and card making fun. If you look along the top just below my log you will see a tab that is labeled My Health Journey, all future updates will be posted there. I will try always to let you know if there is an update, but you can just check every so often. The latest update will always be the top. The page is just continuous, so the division will be the dates. Thanks all for the continued prayers and support! 

Now on to the fun sewing and crafting projects......

When my daughter was expecting I wanted to make a toy for the baby and found the Funky Friends Factory. Needless to say if you have ever looked at her patterns, they are all adorable, so I purchased 3. An elephant, Ellie; a lamb, Lamkins; and a horse, Horsey. I made Ellie for Ava and now that my son and daughter in law are expecting their first in Oct. Horsey has made his debut. Seriously how cute is this pattern....I used a brushed cotton and a flannel for the hooves and ears. I didn't have any fun fur so I improvised with cream yarn for the mane and tail. 

 I found a number of tutorial on YouTube for making a cute little onesie card (here's a link to the one I used to make a template)...so this happened! Just adorable and by changing up the colours and extras can be made to go with any theme or gender....there will be more made of this....

I finally finished this what should have been my son and daughter in laws wedding quilt (2yrs late) as a baby quilt for the little one coming! Have you ever started something and then just lost the mojo to finish it as intended? I know I have some good reasons (stopped during my first cancer battle) and just couldn't get the mojo back to finish it as a queen sized quilt....I'm happy to see it finished and Briana loves it, so win, win!

Here's a sneak peak or look at something I haven't even posted to IG yet! My daughter in law follows my account and the shower (drive thru, socially distance) is happening this weekend...

I made this card following along with a Laura Bassen tutorial with dies and stamps that I have in my stash...love how this turned out. (For anyone interested I used the MFT Impact Alphabet dies and Hello Little One stamp and die set; Your Next Stamp Welcome Baby for the sentiment)

One of the 7 crazy quilt tops I made using the Accuquilt Crazy Quilt die...I finished this one using the Churndash block die for the backing! Had to be a farm themed quilt for this little blessing!

John Deere and farm animals and wheat fields...perfect little quilt for the next generation of potential farmers. 

Have a great weekend everyone
