Tree Pants....Destination Germany

I learned from Sew Mama Sew blog that this is tree pants, not a tree skirt. I guess because it is square not round.

Who knew?! :o)

This was finally done and a long time in the making for my very dear and wonderful friend Jonelle in Germany. She, many moons ago, asked me to make her a Christmas tree skirt in blue, white and some silver. Then she trusted me to make something for her. Time passed, a baby was born and 2 Christmas's later it is under her tree instead of in my WIP pile.

I made it reversible, not so much by design, but because i wanted to make sure to use all of the fabric i had bought for the project. Chris(hubby) suggested the straight line quilting, hoping that it would look a little like a snowflake(roughly). All in all i am calling it a success....mostly because i know she loves it and it has a wonderful home.

love you Jonelle

Sneek Peek for Jonelle

Back a little while, before i knew i was pregnant....my wonderful friend Jonelle put a lot of faith in me and asked me to make her a Christmas tree skirt. I ordered up the fabric right away, but in typical Leslie fashion did not get started right away....it was for Christmas, i had lots of time right? Wrong!!! This week its time has come, it is my designated project. I need to get it done before this baby comes. She is so nice she did not want to bring it up or put any pressure on me about it. But here is your peek Jonelle...since we kind of went into this whole project blind. All she told me is the colors she wanted and left the rest to me. That is why i am telling you, she put a lot of trust into this!
Finally

These sweet little shoes finally made it to their new home today so i can now blog about them without giving the surprise away. I found a simple tutorial to make these complete with the pattern and knew that they had to be made for the new little Brown. They really only took me about half and hour. The inside that you can not see that well(sorry about the bad picture...i forgot to take more before they were mailed away) is black with white polka dots, and the pink was made with a old vintage pillowcase. Glad that you like them Dee.
Unveiled/Spoiler Alert for Dee

**SPOILER ALERT FOR DEANNA....Dee this is your chance to look away if you don't want to see.**

I am just warning you even though i know you are going to look.

Thanks to my very flat chested model....i present you with the Hooter Hider. My sweet friend Dee is having her second baby very soon and i had planned on making her one of these for some time now. As soon as i saw this tutorial i knew that she was getting one. Due to my regular crafters procrastination and OCD problems i have put it off for awhile. However time is limited when there is a baby on the way.

by funny(i guess you could call it that)coincidence this was one of the things she was going to be making herself in these next few weeks. It was going to be a surprise until i heard of her plans. Then i had to divulge my secret. But don't you worry " little lady"(as Mitchell would say), i have other sewing surprises up my sleeve that i can not wait for you to see!!!!!

Ruby!!

When i saw this new(ish) line i knew i wanted to make something with it...something that would live at our house.

Add Simplify with Camille Roskelley and i had the perfect combination. Her line of fabric and her book!

I am so happy to have a friend to quilt with so we are working on this quilt together...each in our own line of fabric. Makes it so much more fun!! Although she is much more motivated than me so she is a few steps ahead of me on this one.

I can not wait to see the finish on this!
