February OMG

My February OMG was to finish a Penguin quilt for my 2 year old niece. I got it all quilted and gifted it to her. She loves it!

Snow and a baby quilt.

Wednesday around 3PM, they called off school for Thursday. This is what it was like outside.

Thursday morning:

Throughout the day it snowed, thundered, lightening, hailed and sleeted. I spent the day cuddling a sick little boy, coughing and high fever.

Friday (today) school was two hours late. Woke up to it still snowing.

I finished this baby quilt about two weeks ago. Can't believe I haven't shared it yet. Someone my husband works for is expecting a baby. His wife is getting induced today! Lucas asked him what kind of baby blanket they would like. He said one with Case IH tractors. The baby is a girl. I wasn't very happy that my husband asked. But after spending a day on the internet searching I found a panel with tractors on it that was girly.

I than spent a week coming the internet looking for a pattern. I seen this quilt posted by Jo.

And I drafted out the size stripsi would need and made this:

I can finally share...

My #3 from my FAL Q4 list.

A panel quilt for my husband for Christmas.

My husband was so surprised, he never suspected a thing!

Color book

I finally got the color book done! Took a little bit longer, I've been having issues with my hands-might be tendonitis, but then he asked if anybody had rheumatoid arthritis in the family... I have to start therapy sometime, they ache on and off if I do too much.

Anyways here's the color book.

#1 on my Q4 FAL list.

Family Tree

Today I'm sharing something special that I made my parents for Christmas.

At the base of the tree I hand embroidered my grandparents names, on the trunk I embroidered my parents names and each of the branches represents the kids and grandkids to my parents. I used my embroidery machine to embroider all the names on the leaves and the whole thing is appliqued to the background and I free motion quilted around the tree.

My mom cried when she opened it, and made my dad hang it on the wall right away!

I'm linking up to Sarah and Amanda.

Here's a link back to my list. This is part of #11 from my list!

Embroidered Pillowcase

#9 on my list is now complete.

This is the pillowcase my MIL asked me to make for an Aunt. I'm thinking I might make one for my MIL for Christmas. We'll see if I can get to it with all my other projects going on...

Baby Hat

I got the hat done that my 8 year old wanted me to knit for a teacher she had last year. We went to deliver it today and the teacher had her baby boy on Monday. So we left it in her office with the substitute teacher who promised Sydney she would get it to her for her.

Elephants on Parade

I can finally share the quilt I made- number 1 on this list. Gifted it to my sister and brother in law. My sister loves elephants.

A label I made for the back with my embroidery machine. My machine gave me hardly any trouble!! (need to practice more)

Pattern is on old quilt along, Elephants on Parade.

Mother's Day Gift

My mom has been asking for an apron for a while so I finally made her one for Mother's day.

My oldest daughter now thinks she needs one.

To go with it I made a Recipe binder.

She loves it! The only thing is the directions called for a 1 1/2" binder and my cover wouldn't fit into a 1 1/2" binder, but it fit into a 1" binder. (Maybe I made mine too short!)
