::Working the Pile::

November 24, 2009 By Katie

I’m still plowing my way through my UFOs via Tallgrass Prairies Challenge. I have a huge wooden bowl that has a nine patch, a flock of birds quilt, and my postage stamp quilt still waiting. Today I’m working on quilting this baby quilt in between school conferences and work. My hope is to be able to stitch the binding down whilst I watch football on Thanksgiving.

Over the weekend and Monday I finally produced some new pjs for my child who has been highwatering it since Summer. I’m a big fan of Joann flannel for the loungers. Most of it is awful, but sometimes you score.

These two lighter weight cotton are for our Florida trip to see the Grandfolks. I love the Coco Jungle by Alexander Henry. Can’t find it anymore.

These two are in my bag for some seam ripping while I sit somewhere yet to be determined. I add a four inch hem that can be let out. I LOVE the owl flannel.

Unless you have an Irish sister-in-law around that irons pajamas (I’ve seen her do it), I would recommend using flannel for the bottom edges. They don’t wrinkle up that way.

The Value Quilt Back is slowly getting some attention. I sat with my friend Noelle the other night. I was able to finish squaring up my blocks. Couldn’t help putting it up. Too many dots, but I’ll add more boy prints in.

God awful photo. but you get the idea.

Yeah to friends that knit. I bought this fabulous yarn and I don’t knit. Thanks Stacia! It’s soooo warm and beautiful! Not to mention it looks awesome with my purse.

    This is really great! I love making my little girl jammies. I have scored some flannel from wal-mart ($1.99 per a yard). They have been pretty good so far. I have purchased $8.99 per a yard flannel in a quilt shop. I was not happy about it after the first wash. Most of the pictures are washed out. The quilt on the first picture looks great! I really like the warmish color.

    Happy Holiday~

    I don’t even know where to start – can I be your son? Please? Those PJS are awesome, the quilt just rocks beyond belief. Seriously, I’ll make a good son – I sit down when I pee 😉

    Wow, you’re making progress!
    I really have to start on those UFO’s if I’m going to complete the challenge.

    Can I ask what patterns you use for the PJs; they look awsome!

      I use Britches and Bloomers by Jackie Clark, but I alter it. I’ll try to get some photos up.

    I’ve got three pieces of flannel fabric waiting to be turned into three pairs of pants. Maybe I’ll figure out how to use my serger and make them in time for Christmas this year 🙂

      Do not fear the serger. I used mine today to square up my quilt before putting the binding on it and was so thrilled. I also love to line my pillows in muslin with it. Gives them nice structure.
