This past week I made a Little Bo Peep costume for my granddaughter Reghan for Halloween. The outfit didn't cost much, since I used fabric from stash and lace given to me by quilting friend Judy P. I spent less than $10 on a zipper, spool of ribbon and elastic to make an outfit which included a dress, pantaloons, skirt and a bonnet. Not bad! Reghan looked really cute as Little Bo Peep. Her baby sister Piper was darling as a lamb.
Last night I started working on Baby Q again. It's a baby quilt in a square in a square pattern. I pieced together the backing using leftover chandelier fabric and solid pink, both used on the quilt top. I should be able to finish the quilt by Tuesday night at the latest.
Later this week I plan to get back to the Road to California quilt which I started on my quilting retreat. I expect it to be a quick finish. The next step is to create lots of four patches, then assemble the Road to California blocks. I made the half square triangles on my retreat.
I haven't taken the time to upload photos of my son's Superman quilt yet. I'm hoping to post about it this weekend.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!
