"Car Quilt" and Update

So, this is the "Car Quilt" I made for my son. It was a Valentine's Day present, but Valentine's Day was really just an excuse for me to do projects I'd been putting off. It would also be more accurately named a "Transportation Quilt", since I was sure to make the roadways big enough for his trucks and my husband lovingly insisted it not only needed train tracks, but also a waterfront complete with boat docks. I'm very pleased with how it--my first quilt--turned out and my son (23 months) absolutely loves it. It's got a good weight to it and I love that it's functional for play, but comfy enough to actually use as a blanket.

This week at 31:18...
1. Can I tell you how much I LOVE custom orders? I just finished two appliqued onesies for a client to give to her friend who just found out they were expecting Baby #1. What a great gift! I'm working on custom crib bumpers and valances for a dear friend who's revamping her son's nursery to get ready for a Baby Girl. And I'm up to my ears in burp cloths for another dear friend who is expecting Baby Girl #3 in just a couple weeks! Babies, babies, everywhere!

2. We will have a giveaway this week. Entries will be accepted Wednesday through Sunday, so check back on Wednesday for details.

3. Pictures of available appliqued onesies will be posted, finally, this week. I have some short sleeves and some long sleeves. Some have ties and some initials (and maybe some others?). My goal will be to post those by Friday.
