Finished Projects 2009: Amy Butler Ladybug

I cannot take credit for this adorable bug! It is too cute not to share!
My sister-in-law, Katie, made this last summer for Lydia.
She was wanting to brush up on her sewing skills
and we became the lucky recipients of the end product.
She did a GREAT job and this little bug can be seen floating all over the house.

Thanks, Katie, for such a sweet gift!

Finished Projects 2009: Quilt Projects

These projects are quilts that I finished as gifts for family members.

1.) A McKenna Ryan quilt kit that I completed for my Grandma, who loves cats.
It was for Christmas 2008,
but we didn't celebrate until January 2009 so it counts, right?

2.) This is an attic window quilt that I designed and quilted
for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary.

3.) This is a quilt I adapted from a quilt I saw in a magazine several years ago. This was for my mom for Christmas of 2007, I believe.
It still needs the binding turned and tacked to the back,
but this labor of love will find it's new home in about a week!
Thanks mom for your patience!

4.) A closer picture of the anniversary quilt. You can see each of my siblings
wrote a note or poem to my parents
and it was then printed onto fabric and incorporated into the design.
(or maybe not, I'm having problems in Picasa increasing the size of my pics)

You'll have to forgive me. The following posts
are to remind me that life is not all
work and no play. And for me,
it's a concise record of all my projects.
When I get discouraged about all
I can't accomplish in my crafty/sewing world
it helps to review what I have accomplished!
