Mice In The Mix: My First UFO!

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile, but you all know how things can just get away from you!? Hope everyone out there is well and happy.

I wanted to share my first UFO with you all.

Sorry that the photo is a bit blurry.? I'm having a learning issue with my camera.? But, I'm so happy to have this baby quilt done.? I have read and re-read everyone's blogs and got up the guts to spray and sort of pin baste this quilt.? Then I really had to take a leap of faith and I machine quilted it!? I first did Stitch-in-the-ditch along the squares and then stippled the rest.? It was fun to do and went pretty fast.? I did the quilting in one night.? Then I had to go back to some wonderful tutorials and figure out the best way for me to bind the edges.? I think I combined several techniques and winged the rest.? Thank goodness it turned out!? Now it's ready for the next little baby boy born in my life.? I recently made an all white afghan to tuck away too, so I'm well on my way to the next baby shower box!

This coming weekend I am signed up to take a hand applique class and I am so excited about it!? I will post photos when I get home.? I really do well when someone shows me how to do it.? Reading instructions has never been successful for me.? I don't even like to read recipes!? Thank goodness for Youtube and video instructions online.? I have learned so much through them!

Well, I'm off to read and ponder my next projects.? I just got my new edition of Jenny's Elefantz Home.? I can't tell you how much I love this magazine!? Jenny has the most wonderful patterns and her writings are so warm and personal that each issue makes you feel like you just got a letter from family!? Thank you, Jenny!? If you don't already get her magazine, you can sign up here at http://www.elefantzhome.blogspot.com.au

So, until next time, have a great week!

Susan
