Fabric projects

Happy March! It has been a few months since I've posted, sorry that it's been so long.  And it's not like I have had a ton of stuff to do since I'm not working at the moment.  But I've just been forgetting to update some of the projects I've been working on, and it's been a lot.   First up are the fabric projects I've been doing the past few months. 

 One of our friends had a baby, and I had this baby blanket that I needed to embroider something on and to give as a gift, so I decided to embroider it for them. I appliqued the letter "B" on the blanket, then used my embroidery software to type in his name. Easy peasy.  Then I remembered I had some bibs, so I embroidered some monster faces on it with embroidery designs from Urban Threads the Monster Factory design pack.  I've had this set for awhile, and it was the first time I've used them.  I think I need to make more of these!  Maybe on some shirts or a blanket.  LOL


 Next up are some hearts that I made for a swap I'm in this month.  I usually only make the minimum amount of anything, but these were so fun that I made 2 sets!  I think I need to make some for myself! And definitely for my sister to sell for her charity.


 I also started using my silhouette to cut freezer paper stencils to use to paint on fabric.  My daughter-in-law asked me to help her make some destination pillows.  I had no idea what that was till she started sending me photos.  LOL  She wanted one that said "Portland" for their Air BNB room. I sent her the pillow case and the sample.  So she put the sample in a frame, and took a photo of the pillow on the bed.  Very cool!  Makes me want to do more painting!
