Another nursing blanket

I made a green patterned nursing blanket for a friend's baby shower recently and her mother told me she loves it and uses it all the time. I originally bought 2 pieces of fabric to make 2 covers for her. I was pinched for time and only managed to get one done. I wasn't sure if she would like it, so I waited to hear from her mom. I managed to get this one finished this past weekend and plan on passing it along mid week to her mom. These are so easy to make. This fabric was not the best though. It is absolutely beautiful, but it is some sort of polyester blend that my machine hated. It was a remnant so I am not sure of the content. I think in the future I will stick to cottons for these. (Sorry the picture is so blurry)

Progress, Progress, Progress?

It has been a busy week and weekend for me. We had school co-op this week and my son took his driver's test Friday and is now an officially licensed driver-Yeah! We went to Red Lobster Friday night to celebrate. I also stopped by Hancocks to pick up a couple of 1 yard pieces (not that I don't have gads at home-but hey any excuse to go visit a fabric store) of fabric to sew up a few nursing blankets for the Saturday baby shower. It was relatively easy to put one together, but the second one is still waiting to be started. I will post more detailed instructions this week. It just got to be too late and I was a little tired. I will definitely make more of these for gifts though. I am also posting pics of my Simplicity dress. It is hanging on Shirley (my husband named her) waiting for more attention as well. I have also finished cutting all of the squares plus some for the baby quilt I am starting for my sister-in-law. I have them laid out in the floor to see if I like the set up of the squares. Any feedback from you readers who quilt???? Any squares I should move around?

Well I hope those of you who attend church services tomorrow have a blessed day of worship!
