I've been trying to sew a ton while I have the energy to do so before baby comes. I know I said I have something like 5 projects lined up but I'm only going to (hopefully) be able to finish one. I've been working on a quilt for Nick and I for a couple of weeks now and I'm finally piecing the top of the quilt together and will hopefully be able to have it done in the next couple of days! It took a little longer than expected considering I ran out of some key fabric and the store here didn't have anymore. I had to go down to Lewiston to get more, luckily they had the print I needed! Also I've been trying to get out as much as possible because I know I'm not going to want to go out a whole lot after this baby is born.
I also made another stuffed goodie for Aviendha for Easter. We're not big on the Easter Bunny, mainly because it has no symbolic relationship, or otherwise, to what Easter really is. Because of this, we decided that every year we would give our kids a stuffed lamb and keep all the bunny-related stuff out. We still do egg hunts and candy (we're not totally nuts!) Anyway, this year instead of buying a lamb, I made one instead:
I'm still improving on my embroidery for the facial features, but oh well! Aviendha doesn't care, she plays will all of these things I've been making her more than any of her other toys so it's been well worth it!
As soon as I get the quilt top done I'll be sure to post a picture!
