Crayon Roll

I used this & this tutorial to make Cute Girl a couple of crayon rolls out of my scrap fabric. Besides having another excuse for a project, it was a semi-necessity since Cute Girl is murder on her crayon boxes. I made the pink flannel one - it has 16 slots - for her home crayons. The blue cotton one - with 24 slots - is for her church bag. They're just so cute & handy.

Anniversary Pillowcases

I used this and this tutorial to make a couple of matching pillowcases to match Mom & Dad's quilt.  They're extra long.

Anniversary Quilt

Dad comissioned this quilt in these colors for Mom on their anniversary.  I used Crazy Mom's tutorial for the Figgy Pudding quilt.  I envisioned it to be turned the other way, but the dimensions work better on Mom & Dad's bed this way. It was the first queen size quilt that I ever made, and I learned a lot from making it.

Nauvoo Fabric Quilt

I made this for Mom for Christmas.  It's a stacked coins quilt that I used this tutorial to make.  I used leftover fabric from our Nauvoo Pageant costumes.  Mom has been talking about making one forever, so I finally did it for her.  Just before Christmas, she was talking about how her children don't have to get her anything.  I told her that she wouldn't turn down what I was going to give her.  I made her cry.

Girly Stripwork Skirt

I'd seen a similar skirt online, but couldn't bring myself to pay for a pattern.  The sister of one of my college roommates posted this tutorial on her blog that worked great.  She later made an official and easy to use pdf tutorial.  I made this Halloween skirt for Cute Girl.  She wore it around the holiday season as well as part of her award-winning witch costume.

Nursing Cover

I used yet another online tutorial to make a nursing cover before BusterBoy was born.  If I made another one, I'd shorten to boning to 12 or 14 inches instead of 16.
