*show off your home made things!*

To the people making the quilts, do you use a pattern, or just make it up as you go along? I'm coveting some beautiful (expensive!) quilts but it would be so much better to just make my own, especially as i need 2!

 

[Autumntx]

found a great site for some good ideas. I plan on making quite a few of these things https://www.homespun-threads.com/patterns_tutorials.htm

Wow this thread is awesome!

Here's a hat I knit. That's how we announced the gender to people on Facebook- I made it my profile pic



Right now I'm working on a blanket and some cardigans for her. Figured I'd use them since she'll be a winter baby!

We're making more stuff but haven't had time yet. Will probably go nuts and makes loads during my maternity leave. I wish I had the patience to knit a blanket

I just love your theme!! WOW. Well Done

Well done to all your artistic ladies. Our babies are very lucky to have such talented moms.

Those button flowers are cute!

 

[cupcakemomma]

@ Navywife ~ Goodness, I just adore them! It's very 'me,' I'm trying to stay away from the stereotypical pink-purple-sparkle-princessy look for our little girl, and you've hit it spot on

@JMZ ~ Very cute, and I love the name you chose. I tried getting DH to go for Evie (short for Evelyn) but he didn't like it. *pout*
