WIP Wednesday

It's been a little while!  Between going back to working shift work, and being plain old lazy, I haven't been up on getting things blogged--but I think that you'll all be just fine with that.

I did manage to get my pillow quilted with the Celestial Star pattern.  I did spiral quilting to test it out, not sure if I want to do it on a quilt.  It suits the block, but I'm not really sure it's for me.  Maybe if I did it a bit more spaced out.

I made another block for my Celestial Star QAL quilt.  I am just about done the next one and then I just need to make setting blocks.

I made two more blocks for my bee quilt that I am "hosting" as it is my month.

I also received a few in the mail, This is a little sneak preview of the layout that it will be.  I chose to go with navy stars and Irish chain blocks, and then have the ribbons around the stars be in the aqua/blue/teal family.  So far I'm loving it.

Abby turned 1!!

She got her own mini pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing.  It was a big hit.

Here she is in her birthday dress that I made her.  It's called the Lulu dress by craftiness is not optional, and I love it!  I used a knit from Girl Charlee for the top, and the skirt is palos verde voile from fabricworm.

I love that little pocket!

It's suitable for searching beneath couches...

Squatting...

Exploring cabinets...

And here is is sans model.  I also made matching knit capri leggings.

And here is a nice, picturesque family photo taken at a wedding we went to.  I had to share my husbands ridiculously long flowing locks.
