Busy Sewing

I have been hard at work (and having a blast) sewing and quilting in the wee days of 2013.

I managed to get my Things That Go quilt finished! Here is a peek at the free motion:

And I did diagonal straight-line quilting using my walking foot through the squares in the middle:

I even finished hand sewing the binding last night! I LOVE this quilt and I can't wait to share it with Baby L who is expected February 9th. I also still have to finish his Bouncing Bunnies quilt before his arrival!

In addition, I checked the Fat Quarter Shop's Daily Deals every day for the two weeks leading up to Christmas and on one of those days I could not resist ordering some fabric. It arrived this week!

The fat quarter bundle is for a special little girl, and I will make her the quilt with it in February. I do need some solids to compliment the patterns, though, so I am waiting for my Kona Solids Colour Card to arrive (thanks to my wonderful husband). The prices on these fabrics was too good to resist and I am thrilled with the purchase!

I'm also checking my mailbox every day for my Christmas present to arrive. I can't wait to show you!
