The other day I sat down to make a couple of bows for McKenna...and I made a few more than a couple.

Finished Quilt
The quilt is all finished! I absolutely love the machine quilting. Paula did such an amazing job on it.
This is the first time I have done a self-binding on a quilt. It isn't my favorite, but it worked well for this because I wanted a brown backing and a brown binding...so it was the obvious direction to go in.
Here is the entire quilt:

Place Mat Bags
We made these bags in Young Womens a while ago.
This first one is a scripture bag. It fits normal sized scriptures in sideways. It is made out of one place mat. You can also turn the place mat the other way, cut some edge off, and make a bag to hold the small quads standing straight up.
This one is made from two place mats and is large enough to hold a binder.

Aprons
I decided to make the kids some Aprons for Easter. Kaitlyn always wants to wear an apron, and I am OCD so it will be nice to have their clothes protected.
Here is Brayden's. It is an art smock that he can use for cooking and art and whatever else I deem necessary :). It was really easy except for the bias tape. That took forever. Plus it is 1/4" bias tape, and I had to re-sew several sections because it wasn't quite on there. If I make this pattern again, I think I will use 1/2" bias tape instead.
Here is Kaitlyn's. It just doesn't look cute in a picture, but it is really cute in real life.

I decided to make a matching apron for me, too. Kaitlyn's and mine are from a pattern of matching mother/daughter aprons. I didn't think it looked that cute, but liked the matching of it and liked that this apron actually descended below the waist, unlike many of my patterns for little girl aprons. Then when I made the aprons, I thought, "Wow, those are so cute!" but then I took pictures and saw that they just don't look cute in pictures. Once we get them at Easter, we will take some pictures with them on. Perhaps it will look cuter that way.
