Schoolhouse Tunic and mostly gifts for Baby

Schoolhouse Tunic

me and my baby grand girl 

Sporting a new haircut and wearing a fresh off the sewing machine Tunic, I got to hold my sweet baby grand girl during most of the time at my nieces Baby Shower. Linking up my goal (seen here) to ALYoF October finish.

If my tunic fabric seems familiar it's because I used the same to make curtains for my sewing room.  One of my all time favorite's from Kaffe Fassett, Sprays from his 2009 collection.

Baby Shower party favors

My talented SIL gets all the credit for the amazing jams, jellies and chutney but I did get to help make them pretty with some fabric and tags.  The wooden tray was scored from our local thrift store.

Newest WIP

On the design wall

I'm not very good at keeping secrets and my niece isn't very fond of waiting....so I showed her the stack of Valori Wells Wrenly fabric that I had chosen for her baby quilt.  That night I starting cutting and stitching and playing with layout.  Her nursery is in green, pink and yellow so I may back this in yellow flannel - we'll see since I tend to change my mind (a lot).
