I'm back! Well, sort of at least. I can't promise this will be a weekly update anymore, since I haven't had time to do much crafting lately. But hopefully I'll be able to pick it up again soon!
Before having Cooper, I started working on the quilting for his quilt. It seems odd to still call this "Goose's Quilt." :) My original plan was to do random circles all over in different sizes, but I decided instead to make a small circle in each solid square. Yes, each and every one. Yes, I'm probably nuts.
I have a few more done since I took this picture, and I'm really liking it. I know it's probably going to take quite a while to make all these circles, and I may have to wait until winter when it's not so warm, but it'll get done. Slowly, but surely. This guy is totally worth it. :)
I also picked up supplies to make one of these nursing covers from Little Birdie Secrets. I haven't decided yet what fabric I'll use, but I hope to be able to finish it up before this weekend. Hopefully Coop cooperates & lets me have a little free time!
Make sure you head over to Freshly Pieced to see what everybody else has been up to this week.
Until next time...
congratulations on the birth of cooper. I love the circle quilting. Hand stuff is definitely easier than getting out the machine for sure.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just couldn't tear my eyes away from Cooper--he is adorable. Plaid? Super cool! The circle quilting is awesome--and he's totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteAww, that quilt is going to look great when it's done :o) Sure he'll be ready to snuggle under it when you're done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! And plaid is definitely a good look for him :) Love the circles, they're going to look fabulous when you finish!!
ReplyDeleteAwww, he's so snuggly! I love the circle idea. Are you using an ink be gone pin or something? Your circles are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe circles look great, but that certainly is an ambitious plan. Good luck with it. Cooper is super cute, and I love his outfit!
ReplyDeletelittle circles - you're crazy!! but I know it's going to look great!
ReplyDeletehe's such a cute little guy!
Oh my goodness he is so adorable!! I think you could just post pics of that cuteness every Wednesday, and that would be just fine too :-) The circles look fabulous, quite ambitious, but I know what you mean, you get an idea in your head and you have to just see it through. I'm sure it will look amazing when its completed, and will be worth it!
ReplyDeleteYou are impressive Bree! Those circles are great, and will be well worth the effort spent making them all! You both look like you are doing great!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute little baby bug! it is hard to do much with a new little one- i hardly could put mine down when he was first born. it is ambitious to do all the squares with circles, but i love the way it looks so far. maybe just do most of the circles? ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww, cutie! I hope he's letting you get some sleep! Your hand-quilting looks great. Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
ReplyDeletethey are always such a precious gift.
ReplyDeleteI love the circle idea on the quilt
If I had someone like that to cuddle, I'd forget the quilting! But I know how if feels to be a new mom and want some cute hand-made things for the baby. I think your circle idea is perfect, and you'll get it done--we always do, don't we?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cute photo of you and your boy. I had three and loved them all to pieces.
And sorry to be so slow on my WIP comments. It's just that kind of a week.
Elizabeth E!
Oh, your baby boy is so adorable! Congratulations! (The quilt is cute, too!)
