spring break

RWQ is going to take a break for the spring.


I'm going to keep things going over at Stitching Hope - I've started a blog there and will be updating shop information and projects there.  


I'll be back, though!  Pretend that I'm just moving to Florida for the winter and will be back with the sunshine in May.

Stitching Hope Shop

The Stitching Hope shop is opening ... soon!

Right now I am looking for donations of items to sell.  All the proceeds from the sales will go to Heifer International's ongoing recovery projects in Haiti.

I ... am ... so ... excited!


Check out the (soon to open) shop at http://stitchinghope.weebly.com and TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

softies

I've been working on this baby boy quilt and finally finished it!  It features a really cute turtle fabric that I had picked up a while ago, some stripes that I love, and fun white-on-orange polka dots.  This quilt pattern I used is a SUPER easy one, and it was the first quilt pattern I ever learned.  The backing is a soft blue flannel.


Sorry, but for some reason I can't get it to rotate.  So stand on your head and check it out.




Close up of a happy turtle, anyone?




This is a matching burp cloth to go with the blanket.  It measures about 17" x 12" and is made of the same soft blue flannel from the quilt back.  This is the first time I've tried a blanket and burp cloth set and I'm really pleased with how they turned out!




Photos taken indoors at night ... I'm learning my lesson.  I don't like the yellowish tint to everything!
