Some random recent projects of note

A gift for a teeny niece:

Some doll outfits I put together.  Apparently MIL has been getting requests for cheer outfits.  I hate doing things in some sort of void where I have to figure out how to do it, so I borrowed colors of some popular local teams:

Scavenger Hunt Quilt

All finished!  Not sure if I'm going to find a shop that hasn't had a winner, yet.  There's one I can still try, but not today.

Splitting it up to see it a little better,

the top half patterns, from left to right, come from Cary Quilting Company, Cary, NC; My Sewing Shoppe, Raleigh, NC; Loving Stitches, Fayetteville, NC; and Kathy's Quilt Shop, Titusville, FL.

The bottom half, from top to bottom comes from Thread Bear Fabrics, Cumming, GA; Thimble Pleasures, Chapel Hill, NC; Thread Waggle/APQC, Raleigh, NC; and Sew Happy, Clayton, NC

Another year, another Disney Trip to sew for.

I don't recall if I've posted pictures of all the stuff we wore for our 25th wedding anniversary.  The one I was particularly proud of is this one:

I embroidered Mickey Mouse near the hem of my skirt and Donald Duck onto husband's shirt pocket, and then sewed the rest of the garments in question.  Pretty epic, I felt.

For 2016, we are planning something of a family reunion during the first week of December.  If everyone makes it, we're looking at 25 people there all at once.  For this, I'm making everyone a black fleece jacket.  They're going to be pretty ordinary from the front:

But embellished on the back:

The mouse ear hat has the name embroidered on satin.  After embroidering the "2016 Magic" on the fabric of the back, the satin "hat" was appliqued over it.  I started with mine because they'll probably get better with time.

One down... twenty-four to go, all to be finished by November 28. One hundred and seventy days between now and then divided by twenty-four is about one per week.
