A Little Valentine's Project

Just yesterday this cute boys print came in and immediately I knew I wanted to make something for E. Well in the spirit of Valentine's Day I decided to give one of the little guy ties a whirl. It was incredibly easy although I'd tweak a few things next time,but over all a pretty successful project.

Unfortunately my little guy wasn't in the mood for a photo shoot this morning even after being bribed with a cinnamon roll(hence the cinnamon roll residue on his chin!). I do love his little corduroy jacket though :)

So I ended up improvising! I pretty much new it was going to be a present more for me than him though! Happy Valentine's Day!

Oops I almost forgot... I've been working on this play size quilt top-I love how it turned out(not perfect but I'm not a perfectionist by any means) but I don't love how the pic turned out with my phone camera-I was way to impatient to wait for my camera to be at work!

Stitch

I finally got my hands on a copy of the Fall 2010 Stitch Magazine and I wish I would have picked it up earlier(as always!). There are so many great projects in there, even quite a few using 1 yard or less of fabric-perfect for the holidays. But what I was so excited about was the section on Modern Quilting and the bios of some modern quilters. I already follow Ashley Newcomb's blog Film in the Fridge, but have found a couple of others to follow as well-I guess you can never read too many blogs!

The project that I fell in love with right away was the Boy's Cozy Pullover-you don't really get a chance to see as many fun projects for boys but this one is great and looks pretty easy to conquer. Here's a link to it HERE. (well you have to join to actually get the pattern-but it's free so why not!)

Happy Sewing!
