Doll Quilt Swap III

I finished my mystery partner's doll quilt last night. It's going in the mail tomorrow to her, I hope she likes it! There's a few mistakes in the quilting but I hope it's charm makes up for it. It has at 25 different fabrics all from a Flutterby (by Tula Pink) charm pack and jelly roll. The circles are appliquéd on, it has a pink flange border, and I made the bias strip binding from four noodles. I went looking for a video on how to do a blind stitch and thankfully I found this one. I have always had a hard time with any kind of hand sewing but this video was a life saver. The binding came out very well and makes me very happy.


It's quite pink, but in person it all blends in together well. All the colors kinda remind me of a candy factory or something. It's hard to see this little quilt go but I know it will be happy in it's new home.

I haven't received my quilt yet, hopefully it will come before the end of the week. I'll post pictures as soon as it comes in. :)

100th Post Giveaway...

It's taking forever to get to 100 posts, and I posted my poll ages ago. So just a heads up, I'll start the giveaway sooner then post #100... it'll be some random date, so make sure you keep a look out!

New Ironing Board Cover

I had the urge to change my ironing board cover. The old one was... really bad. It was my mom's board and just icky. Taking it apart was unpleasant as I soon found out that this cover was just covering an even older cover. Bleck. Anyway... here's the before and after.


Old cover: bad.

New cover: good.
I bought this fabric a really long time ago at Joanns and have never found anything to use it for but I just have always really liked it. I think it finally told me what it wanted to be. :)
