More Creative Baby Clothes

As you can see from these clothes, the participants have decided views about the baby!  The clothes are cuter in person, too.  One more post tomorrow with the last of the cuteness.  None of these people had done any kind of fabric art before, so this proves it's doable by anyone.

Three of Four

And another leaf done, this one in a medieval filling stitch.  One more leaf then on to the background!

Colorful Baby

Our backyard was the location of a baby shower recently.  One of our friends, Florine, and her husband, are expecting their first child in October. Since they leave Uruguay in a few weeks, we decided to have a baby shower.  Instead of the usual games, we played "paint the baby clothes".  These are some of the results.  Every guest made something.  The rest will show up in posts over the next couple of days.







A Bit of Weaving

Since I was teaching Ana this pattern, I had to make it myself, too!  Here's my version.  I used kyo-temari thread and a 25 cm diameter ball.  I think it turned out pretty neat.

So Very Close

I am so close to being done!  Yay!  It's been pretty difficult working on 40 ct over two.  As you can see in the picture, I've been using a small quilting needle to do the actual stitching.

Square on Temari

 One more temari for gifting done.  This one was just playing with simple designs.  I think it came out pretty well.

One Flower in the Garden

One flower done; perhaps more will be coming soon.
