A Dress For Miss Mango

It was time for a new dress for Miss Mango.  I never got around to getting velcro for her last dress and I was sick of looking at the sloppy, too loose dress.  She wanted something glamorous!  So ten minutes and some scrap fabric and she is ready for a night out! 

 I think I want a dress like this for myself!

Wall Hanging

I am *almost* finished with the quilt top for my wall hanging (yay!)  I need help now!  I have never made a wall hanging before.  I want it to be flat against the wall (no curtain rods or anything)  I also want it to be removable for when it needs to be washed.  What is the best way to prepare the backing to make a quilt a wall hanging?  And what's the best way to hang it?

**UPDATE**  Piecing of the top is all done...I just need to add borders!  YAY!!!!  I need to run to JoAnns and get more basting spray and then it's onto quilting....sooo close!!

Twin Quilts

We know a very sweet family that is expecting twins VERY soon.  So what does that mean for me....time 

to make twin quilts!

Since they are having a boy and a girl I got to play with lots of different fabric!  I used the Charm Squares Baby Tutorial from Oh, Fransson!  I wanted to use pieces I had in my stash and didn't have any charms that would work.  So I pulled 5 fabrics for each quilt and made my own charm pack!  I placed them out in an ordered random way....making sure 2 of the same aren't too close together.  I FMQ them in my go-to stippling...although if I do it again I would straight line!  They are perfect size for a play mat on the floor and a good toddler sized movie time quilt when they get a little bigger.

Now lets see if  bug will let me get some work done on my wall hanging.....just 8 more blocks to piece!

Red Pepper Quilts Link Up

I have an addiction that I 'm going to share....I can't go more than a few hours without checking my reader.  I love reading other's blogs and looking at all the wonderful quilty inspiration.  I also love finding new blogs to read, but the ones suggested to me from Google Reader are sometimes way off of what I like.  Rita from RPQ has solved that problem.  She has created a link up to share your blog's link.  I linked up...now to try and not spend all morning reading all of the other great blogs that others have linked in!


Go check it out....and I dare you not to spend all day there!
