small projects

I am turning out a few small items for a baby shower I am giving for my neighbor next week. I love making baby stuff!

I have not crocheted for a long time and really had fun with this hat called "little sister". Here is the pattern link:little sister pattern

Coming Together...

My rice bowl quilt is coming together. I have to say, digital cameras are great for taking a step back and looking at your work from a different angle.

An applique block ready to stitch
 I love the hand sewing.  Sewing applique always stresses me out because I cannot control things like I can with a needle and thread.  I can make minor adjustments and align everything just so. Plus, if I mess up, it's much easier to take hand stitches out.  I have all of the blocks pinned. Now I need to stitch as fast as I can I want this done in two weeks.  We shall see....
