Hi all just wanted to show you a couple of works in progress. Just trying to get ready for the impending arrival of our daughter. I will be induced on the 10th of August. I can't wait. Hopefully my husband will be able to be here for the birth. He is currently in Iraq and I asked my doctor if I could be induced so that we could try and get him home. Wish us luck!!! The first project on the needles is a
Shedir cap. But with
modifications to fit a new born. I should be done with this sometime tonight or tomorrow. I will update the blog with more pictures when it is done.
The next project is a quilt, it's almost done. I just have to finish sewing on the binding by hand. Here are pictures anyway. I used Fresh Cut fabric and Minky dot fabric on the back and for the binding.
Thanks for checking out the blog...and happy crafting.

i just taught myself by looking on quilt websites and winging it...good luck. It's quicker then knitting one.
What a beautiful baby shedir!
How many stitches did you cast on for and what size needles did you use? I want to make one too, but i'm afraid the hat will be to big for a baby.
Thanks, Sigrid
Sigrid-I cast on the exact amount of stitches that the pattern called for. The only difference is I used fingering weight yarn and size one needles. I wish that I would have used a larger size needle. The hat barely fit her when she came home from the hospital and she was 3 weeks early. It is super tiny but is pretty stretchy. I will be making her a new one soon. Thanks for the comment.
I'm making a quilt using the minky dot as the backing. I am just getting ready to start quilting it. Was it hard to quilt..like did it stretch or move alot? I too was going to use it also as the binding but wasn't sure how it would work out. My email is cherylhaley@charter.net. I'd love to hear from u b/c I've got alot invested in this project & if you've got pointers for me I'm ready to hear them. Thanks so much! p.s. Your quilt is gorgeous...so is your daughter! ^-^
