Beetle Boy Quilt

I started in on a new quilt this weekend. This is going to be for one of my coworkers - Stephanie - who is expecting a boy in August. It is turning out to be a little brighter and wilder than planned, but it's not lacking in color or excitement! I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to use the "Beetle Boy" fabric with some corresponding stripes and polka-dots. This is by far the most elaborate quilt I've made in terms of cutting an piecing. I still need to attach the little hexagons with beetles on them by hand sewing (not my favorite thing to do) them to the large hexagons, and then I need to learn how to piece the large hexagons together with the machine. It's a good quilt for learning some new techniques.

Produce Bag Dispenser

I've been craving some sewing time so tonight I sat down at the machine and made a cute little produce bag dispenser. I bought this super cute fabric with a gift certificate from Tasha (thank you!!) and have been trying to decide what to do with it. I thought a produce bag dispenser would be appropriate. I bought two yards of this fabric so I still have a bunch to do some more fun things with it. I am thinking a little summer outfit for Olivia would be super cute! I'll have to keep and eye out for a pattern. Anyway, here is Mike demonstrating how handy this bag dispenser is :)
