We just got home not too long ago and I felt like posting. I uploaded the pictures but now the sleepy is kicking in so maybe I will just edit this tomorrow.

Yeah. sounds good. goodnight.

Ok wide awake now. We went to a baby shower yesterday for Alan’s aunt. I made a small quilt. I went through many ideas of how I wanted it to look: with big squares, little squares, rectangles and on and on. But Alan didn’t like any of them. I finally ended up with this design. I was inspired by this bib. I was hoping to make a matching bib but just ran out of time.

And here is the back.

I did free motion quilting. I love the look of loops and curves but I need some more practice with it. The quilting is a little messier than I would have liked.

I’m always worried about making stuff for people, if they will like it, my color choices and design. Everyone’s taste is different. I hope Alan’s aunt likes it.

Update The green fabric in front:

It has finally gotten cold here. Today Isabelle actually had pants on. So it seemed silly that my banner had us in bathing suits. I hurriedly drew something up. I’m not entirely sure about it. I’m not loving it. But of course I didn’t love our bathing suit banner either. Maybe I’ll do something else…

With the colder weather I put something warmer on Isabelle. She didn’t seem to mind at first but then she threw a little fit.

Maybe it didn’t have anything to do with the outfit. She’s been grumpy lately.

Why?

Because she has more teeth coming in!

Oh how could I forget to mention this? I got this during Alan’s vacation. The whole photo emulsion thing with screen printing was just too intimidating. Now that I have a print gocco what shall I make first? It came with the fabric stamp. Shall I make onesies? What to do, what to do?

Actually I think I should start with paper first before doing fabric.

On the weekend I had some friends over and they were drawing each other using my computer. I’m used to drawing my cutesy drawings but I’ve never felt like I could draw people that looked real. So after seeing them drawing I thought I’d give it a try.

Does it look like Isabelle?
