I Can Only Imagine

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of you, be still?



I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me

Book Cover

This past weekend was about completeing started projects.  Below is a book cover that I made from a couple of log cabin blocks that have been laying around with no purpose. 

I used this pattern from Moda Bake Shop to construct this cover:

I know the lining fabric is not glamorous.  I have a lot of this print and need to use it up.

It's my ugly secret :)

This pattern does not have handles in the instruction; I added my own. Next time I will position the handles higher or make them longer.  They are a bit short.

I also didn't add batting.  I thought it would look ok without it.  Next time I'll add batting for more effect.

Chevron Baby Blanket

I'm almost done with my friend's baby blanket.  She doesn't know if she's having a boy or girl.  I thought using these colors were neutral and as I kept crocheting, I second guessed my decision.
I used this pattern from Eat, Knit, & DIY and it worked out very well.  I did have some trouble with filling in the triangles but I eventually finished. I still have a lot to learn :)

Older Completed Projects

This was my very first try at quilting (log cabin).  I made it from my very first jellyroll and did stitch in the ditch.  I gave it away as a gift.  I've wanted to make another one ever since I gave it away.

New Jellyroll

Yesterday I decided to leave the office and visit the local fabric shops.  It was 90 degrees out and 50% humidity.  What was I thinking???  The first shop had no A/C, so it was a short visit.  The second shop (w/AC) had new sewing machines on sale.  That is so dangerous!!!  I want a new one :(  but the old one still works.  Then I found the jellyroll section.  I'm a sucker for them everytime.  I think it's because you get so many different patterns and they are already cut into 2.5 inches.   I had to narrow it down to just one and here's what I chose:

The Sunflower group.  Love!  So many possiblities.  I plan on using it with the CR bag quilt I am mapping out right now.  This looks so good with the purple and the gold stiching.

Blankets

Here are a few blankets that are now complete:

The blanket below is just one big granny sqare, alternating yarn with each row:

I have a couple more that are still WIP.  I will post soon :)
