These Are Fun!

One for me, one for my Mom, one for my Mother-In-Law (she has hers already!)
DIY tutorial from LBG Studio here!

***I just "found" this post, buried back in June!  Sorta old news, but here they are, the first bracelets! They are made from the scraps from the Amy Butler placemats... still love :)

Works in Progress! Yay!

Yay, because there actually are works, plural, in progress! Neither of these was on a to make list...impromptu at it's funnest!   This first one for a "sister-in-orange"...




This second one, well, I was zooming away on the orange one yesterday morning, and I just put this one together while taking a breather...
I have a particular baby-on-the-way in mind for this!

when does 80's fabric become "vintage" or "retro" ?
because I got this in the mail this week...
first rolie-polie ever!  Surely not the last!
from the Fat Quarter Shop, while they were on sale for the recent Jelly Roll Jam!   And they sent along the quilt pattern to go with, and I couldn't bear to undo my sweet ginghams just yet, and I already had 2.5 in strips of all my old fabric cut up for a Jewel Box quilt that just wasn't happening, and so, Voila! Instant baby quilt...well almost!

And it's Wednesday!  This hardly qualifies for a "Wordless" Wednesday, so how 'bout  WIP Wednesday (eep!) with Freshly  Pieced?! 
Yay!
