And there were more…

And there were more bibs and baby items in my sewing room. And I’m having fun.

I realized that this may be boring to the few people who do read this blog but then realized that really, my reason for this blog is for me and is a record of what I am doing.  When I think I really have not accomplished much I can sit and scroll through the entries and realize that although I don’t have lots of quilt finishes, I have created many items in the last year and have enjoyed them all.  I do want to make more quilts and actually have three cut and stacks of fabric for many more.  I’m itching to get in there and get busy but life seems to get in the way.  And so does work.

So for now, this is what I’ve made.  A  tag blanket.  This time with smaller and fewer tabs. Bibs in different styles, backings and shapes. Do I have a favorite? I think I’m fine tuning this one.  I like the front either of flannel or cotton.  The backing I have done several different ways. I’ve used terry cloth, flannel and fleece. I’ve used yardage, kitchen towels and even a left over baby towel that was a fine terry.  I’ve also used minky and polar fleece.  The polar fleece is interesting because it adds a bit of weight to the bib and also some moisture repellant features. The minky looks lush.  The terry cloth is practical and the flannel is just plain cute.  I’ve also made some burp rags that are cute.  Soft patterned minky on one side and flannel on the other.  Dual purpose.. cute and absorbent yet moisture resistant.  Guess we’ll see how the moms like them.  I do have a few more projects in minds.  There are still several weeks before the shower so I’m sure more projects will show up on the table.
