Needed a break
 

After piecing several Fancy Forest blocks, I needed a break from quilting. Our DGD celebrated her 1st birthday last week and I made her several gifts: a re-vamped sweatshirt, and 4 sleeved bibs with matching washcloths. I also made a tuffet, using Tuffet Source's pattern, for our daughter's future in-laws, who are hosting us one night on our trek across NC. My 92 yr. old Mom is in the medical center of her facility, recovering from a broken ankle. Luckily we aren't traveling any further east than Raleigh.

The inside of the skirt is the same red with white polka-dots. I got her a red headband with a black, red and white ribbon clip, and black leggings to match.

The bibs are an older pattern from Sew Baby and were embroidered on my Babylock Ellure Plus.

My DD's future in-laws and fiance are ardent DUKE fans. If they don't like it, I'm sure one of their two cats will claim it as his own! I did Scotchguard it LOL

Nice useful gifts:) I know what you mean by needing a break from quilting occasionally; we have all been there at least once:)

Love all your projects, you are so talented. Have a great vacation.

great projects...................like the tuffet

I love all your sewing gifts, very creative and I'm sure they will be used.

Pease post a picture of your grand daughter after gifting. That dress is so sweet! Great job on tuffet!

Super job. They are all very well done. Did you take a class for the tuffet? I'd like to do one but not sure if I am good enough to try it on my own not taking a class :)

Everything is adorable! I just love the button/buttonhole treatment.

Beautiful projects. I like the idea of the bibs with sleeves.

Too cute!!! Your DGD will be the best-dressed little girl in town! And that tuffet....I love it!

Darling top and bibs...and I'm intrigued by your stool...did you refurbish something you had? It looks fantastic.

I'm doing the fancy forest too. Got to take breaks. Sooooo many pieces. But so darn cute........Love your side projects. Let's see that beautiful child in that beautiful dress.

Great job!!!!

Beautiful one and all!

Love the things you made I love sewing for my six year old DGD and she always loves the things I make for her.

Very nice work. You are very talented and everyone in your family benefits from generosity with you skill, time and creativity. Love them all but that little dress with the red and white polka dots is just too cute.
