What I did this Wekkend

This is what I did this weekend. I started a new project and actually finished it!

How could Grandma not remember to make Little Miss a quilt for her dolls? I guess we have so many here that she uses that I forgot about her house!  So on Friday I took out all my pink fabrics, go figure, her favorite color is pink too!

Using my go cutter I cut out 3 1/2 inch squares.

I even fussy cut a few.

Laid them out in a pleasing pattern.

AND YES!!

went to the machine to make the top.

Next up, I layered it, pinned it, and used Presencia Thread to tie it in all the corners.

I decided to pull the backing to the front for the binding and used the machine to sew it down.  I wanted this to last and hand sewing the back did not seem to be a viable option.

The backing is a pink glitter fairy fabric.

Of course a pillow to match. 

It was all ready and waiting for her when she arrived today.

Did she like it?

Oh yes! 

The baby, pillow and a care bear were put into her stroller, covered up and pushed all around the house.

When Mom came home at lunch it was put into a bag and off to it's new home.

What did you do this weekend?  

I Just Took a Little!

I could not help it! I just took a little piece of each fabric from the Flower Sugar Line. It is so pretty, I could not help myself! But no worries I ordered more so there would be plenty for all!

I saw this on Pinterest and just fell in love with this pillow.  

I thought it would look beautiful in Flower Sugar, so I got busy.

I worked on them while I sat by the lake last week.

This is all I allowed myself to make, otherwise I would have used more of the fabrics I am saving for you!

Now for a layout?

The traditional...

Scattered...

I decided on scattered but in rows!

Even scraps for a string block!

I hope to show you my pillow if the next few weeks.

In the meantime have a wonderful weekend and do something you love.

PS  All my Presencia thread is on sale in my eBay store.
