Slow Start

As it turns out, I am really bad at blogging. I need to upload pictures, and write more. This week I finished my first baby sling. It was made with Amy butler fabric and Sling Rings. I placed a zipper for mom's keys and such. I learned a few things on the first one. First, unless mom is really small, I need more that 2 yards of fabric. Second, putting a zipper in takes a lot of smarts. I used this great tutorial to get though the zipper. I'm pretty sure that I ripped it out at least 10 times. I finally got it right and I'm sure that it will be much easier the second time, like most things. My next sling will be for Brooke and baby Huck. 

I have also come a long way on my Irish Chain Pinwheel Quilt. I am mostly done piecing the blocks. I have about 12 more before I start piecing the whole top. I have put that aside for now and picked up my jean quilt again. That has sat in the corner all summer and is a bit dusty. I have decided that I will finish this one for Christmas and give it to my sister Heidi. I am sure that she will really enjoy it. I have made quilts for my other sisters so it is her turn. I will hopefully upload some pic's in the next few days.
