I Stand Corrected

So apparently Blogger spell check does not check the title. Oops. My previous post was titled Stikes and Ranting, it is now corrected to Strikes and Ranting. I think I have invited the spell check police to my blog. And now I'm all paranoid about it. I liked it better back when I didn't care. :)

Thanks for all the compliments on the quilt! It turned out so cute and I really enjoy making them, I just don't really need them. I think I might try to sell them on etsy, but we'll see. My mom did the machine quilting on it and it looked great, she needed an excuse to buy the walking foot for her machine anyway. Wow, if any of you own a Bernina sewing machine those parts are over the top expensive! But now I can start Jena's quilt that she has been begging me for since I made Ryan's a few years back. Because I really wanted to machine quilt Jena's. My mom and I hand stitched Ry's. That seems to be the pattern, I make the quilt top and then my mom helps me quilt it because I have no patience.

Here is what Ry's quilt looks like. You can click on it to make it bigger. And here is a link to the album with more detailed pictures. Ry's Quilt Album

It was so fun to make because it has a lot of different textures and of course the baseball theme with stars and star quilting, since I love stars. I had only made one applique quilt before this for my cousin-in-law Andrea so I finally had the technique down for this one. Hopefully Andrea's didn't fall apart, I've always had a fear it would!

Here is sort of what Jena's quilt will look like. I saw this book years ago and fell in love with this pattern. I'm not feeling creative enough to make hers up so I'm using this but I'm going to have to alter the pattern because this is baby quilt size and I want twin size. Plus Jena wants her name on it like Ry's. Once again, you gotta love the stars, plus it's totally girly just for Jena.


Oh and by the way, the talk in sacrament meeting is OVER! Halleluia! I was being all brave thinking I wasn't really nervous and shocked by that too and then I stood up and all the shaking started. Wishful thinking I guess! But can you believe my talk lasted almost 20 minutes! And I didn't pass out or cry or mess up to bad. Did I mention I'm so relieved it's OVER!
