Wedding Pillowcases: Bear vs Llama

Well, Here are some pillowcases I made for a friend's wedding. Pretty fun!
I generally hand embroider, but had decided less than a week before the wedding to make them, so I tried embroidering?drawing by machine. I think they turned out pretty cool! The main thing I would have changed is to make their bodies more curved, not so cut-off.

 Bear

 Llama

Cassette tape fabric for the bear, and green and blue 60s floral for the llama.

Today I have been working more on the wool patch quilt and cutting out more denim squares for an upcoming quilt.

Pink quilt

This is an awesome old quilt we got. It is old and coming apart at some seams. I love the combinations of patterns and colors. It does need a new binding at least and maybe someday i will get around to replacing more of it. (Sorry that my photos are not amazing)

Yesterday I got a few hours to work on a wool quilt top I got at a rummage sale forever ago for $2.50. It had random non-matching squares I am trying to recover. The whole quilt is awesome old wool (perhaps Pendleton shirts?) And then there was random magenta, teal, beige courdoroy mixed in. So... i have been hand sewing some patches over the worst offenders. I hope to finish sometime sooner than later and find fabric for the back and make a quilt that actually will fit our bed. So many quilts to do. So little time!

Baby mittens

Baby Mittens! To be more precise, toddler mittens? Forgive me, i will find the pattern and link it here. I figured with all the babies everyone is having, it would be good to have some quick projects to knit up. This is not my favorite yarn color but i decided i could knit a test pair. It was a pretty quick knit and would be a great carry-along project.
