The Quiet Book

A friend picked up this wonderful pattern for me at a thrift store.  It is a discontinued Vogue pattern for an Activity Book (Vogue #1959 It's A Zoo). I made a few modifications, and left out a couple of pages because the book was getting pretty thick.  I used thick craft interfacing, as well as, a variety of fabrics. Next time, I may just stick to cottons.  Happy Birthday to my sweet grandson, enjoy!!!!!

Modified using a pair of overalls from Goodwill.

The Butterfly Quilt

Finally had the opportunity to make the Butterfly Rag Quilt. (Simplicity 2935)  I think it turned out really cute.  I made it for a friend to give to her daughter.  

This is a Queen size bed, just to give you an idea of size.

I laid out the pieces before sewing them together to make 

sure I didn't make any mistakes when actually sewing. 

The best made plans, I sewed one section wrong 3 times!
