I'm Bad With Titles:S

This is the beginning of an exciting project!!!  I made my own jeans!!!  Anywho...this was a beginning stage.  I now just need to get out and do a little photo shoot with the finished product.  It was fun and not really as hard as I thought it might be.  I was working with a pretty light denim which helped.  I also didn't have to worry much about the fit because I was using an existing pair of pants which I knew fit very well.  Hurrah!
 This is the ending of another project.  Mom was the only person who chipped in on the sashing color, so aqua blue it was.  I like the way it turned out:)  It was a fast one do do in a couple afternoons.  I need to make more of these to use up all the batting edges I have.
 We went to a birthday party! This was one of the many faces Miss Conleigh made as we took pictures and sang to her with the birthday Princess Cake.  She's such a spunky kid, I love it!
 Kenson was pretty cool with his sister getting the attention and Big Dog was a little worried at the excitement over the pink apron/hat set;)

 He should have been worried about "Dr." Jared instead.  Melissa may have helped with the procurement of this photo;)
 Like I said, I need to make more little quilts to use up some batting.  Soooo, I decided to jump on the Tangerine Tango bandwagon.  Here are my beginnings using some Elm Creek Quilt block patterns.

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...
