Summer!!

I feel like I have been away for forever! I have done lots of sewing and given several things away and have no pictures. A few things I did remember and the last couple weeks have gotten some things done. But first, the bumper pads to match the new babys quilt are finally finished. All the animals were appliqued on and the grass and flowers were stitched on. It was a lot of work but turned out so very nice.

 The back was alternating green and brown polka dot. Once again the pictures do not do it justice. I must investigate better pictures.
 I also made these travel/cosmetic bags for one of my harp students who graduated from high school and will be headed off to college. She is a sweet girl, a lovely player and I will miss her!
 I made one quilt just like this and gave it away immediately but this week made another just like it, so this is number 2! It came from Kelly at My quilt infatuation and is called strip Tango. I love the fabrics and the pattern, Thanks Kelly! I will quilt it up right away.
I posted a picture on my last post with a twin, bright colored quilt for my grand daughters room and I took the scraps and cut them into squares and took them to Ohio with me. After getting my mom to bed I would sew until late at night sometimes. I mixed some white in there to stretch it out along with a few other scraps and have a nice extra quilt for the trundle bed that matches! I love it. It just needs to be quilted up as well. I also started a black and white quilt but that is still in progress.  I am home for a few weeks and hope to get some serious sewing in. Its summer and I can stay up late. Hurray!
