Babies everywhere!

This quilt is fast becoming my most difficult project. I was in the first stage, piecing together the quilt squares when my sewing machine went and died on me. Either I put it on hold while I waited to get the machine fixed or I would need to take action some other way. So, it has been done entirely by hand... For now, I've finished the quilt top and this embroidery piece. I need to get the sandwich done. I was thinking of quilting it, but I've decided to go with just a sprinkle of stitches, as I've done before. It's quicker and, as I haven't got the sewing machine fixed, I will need to do the binding by hand too...
The backing is to be done with the cat fabric in the background. Baby David will just have to wait a little longer...

Ongoing...

Quilting quilt number 2.
I'm starting to feel I don't have a lot of time... This quilt is for a baby that has already been born. The next three babies will be born in December and January, which gives me about two months for three quilts... Overtime!

Update

Blanket number one and bunny: check!

To do lists are the devil's work!

To do list:
Five baby blankets (this is number one and it's all done now)
Crochet bunny

 Looks like very little, but it's *a lot*... need to keep my sanity!

What are doillies for?

Crochet mobiles - a great way to get rid of the tiny doillies I sometimes crank out in copious amounts...

Obsession

I wonder if I have been a bit star wars obsessed lately...
I love the yoda invasion
What's next?
Ewoks and R2D2's... Maybe a Chewie? Or maybe just a hiatus...
