Sewing Recluse!!

I have had the best time this summer playing in my sewing room making things for our grandson who will arrive sometime around the 1st of September!! Here are a few things I've made:


This is the Monkey Pinwheel Quilt when I first loaded it onto the quilting machine.
These two pictures show the finished product.
Label on back of quilt. Wanted to make sure the little one knows who made it for him!!! (Still don't have a name yet, or I would've added his name to the quilt!)
A boppy pillow cover that I made from the dimples minkee fabric! It is so soft. I made another one out of flannel with a golf print on it!! For his daddy!!!
This quilt was made from a jelly roll of buggy fabric that was dirt cheap at WalMart when they were getting rid of their fabric department. I thought it turned out real cute. Much bigger than a crib quilt, but this will stay at Shug's house so the baby can lay on it on the floor at my house!!!
Another shot of the bug quilt. I named it Bug Row. Hope the little man likes the bright colors!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in my sewing room all summer. I am so ready to retire so I can do this all the time!!!!

Last picture is a close up of the quilting. I absolutely don't know how I ever quilted those quilts on my regular machine. I am in love with my HQ16!!!!! Although, I am going to have to learn something other than the loops pattern!!!

Bug Row on the longarm!
