Baby Quilt


I try to make quilts for all baby showers. I really enjoy quilting and everyone seems to be very happy to receive them! I made this quilt for a close friend before we knew the gender of the baby, so I tried to make it out of gender neutral colors. Turns out she is having a boy and I hope that she likes the quilt!
I finally figure out how to do mitered corners thanks to the website Sew to Speak. I seriously love the tutorials on the web. I even made my own bias tape!

I am still working on embroidery and my label is a little wonky...just got a hoop so maybe next time they will turn out better.

Soccer Cookies

I made these soccer ball cookies for Beck's soccer team. I used a sugar cookie recipe from Martha Stewart website and they turned out pretty yummy!! Let me tell you how messy black icing is...Beck and I looked like we were fingerprinted! They were a big hit after the game.
