Retro owl baby sized quilt

…found this wicked end of bolt panel at Duber’s in Waconia…whim shopping…the backing is white flannel with hot pink stars…guess this is a girlie quilt then…approximately 30 by 45 inches…give er take…no idea where this quilt will eventually reside…currently is patiently waiting for the next load of baby stuff to be washed.  January 5^th 2013

 

Itty bitty burial bonnets

…found this tiny pattern on line for free: http://www.sewingforbabies.com/Patterns.htm I dare say the fabric with embroidery and flowers appliquéd is lovely…but quite horrid to sew…won’t be getting it again…the fabric is super thin lighter than hankie material and the appliqué is very heavy…makes for a beautiful bonnet but I almost gave up after the 1^st needle broke.

These tiny bonnets are about 2 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide…very teeny.  Made 24 total…now contemplating my box of white quilting cotton to make a few more.  Many will be going to God’s Tiny Angelshttp://www.godstinyangels.com/ I’ll keep a few to ship out with teeny diapers…January 6^th 2012

 

Morticia-Venom von Stingovich…(Emperor Scorpion) our lovely new companion beastie…She, well we really can’t tell is she is really a she…lives right next door to Endora the tarantula…to wickedly cool beasties we refrain from petting…she’s a Jazmin/Elaine communal pet…January 5^th 2012
