Pink crocheted baby set

My cousin is expecting a baby in the fall. We don't know the sex of the baby, so here is a pink set I made. I already made a blue one--so all bases are covered, so to speak. I designed this myself, so no pattern is available. I like to use Patons Astra yarn. It's sport weight. And there happens to be a completed baby quilt tucked away in my closet.
On another subject--we had an earthquake today. The place really swayed, and I did get scared. But the quake didn't last long, and there was no damage in my place. The chandelier really was swaying, though.
I'm sewing together my crazy quilt. I made 48 squares, and you would think that there would be a dent in my mess of fabric scraps--but no, there's still tons of the stuff.

baby sweater

See what can be done with some left-over yarn? I crocheted a baby sweater again--those babies keep on being born--I can hardly keep up!

Creating Quilts


I'm inserting a photo of a baby sweater and hat that I crocheted this week for a baby shower gift.
All of those baby quilts shown on this blog have now been sent off for the new babies. So I'm designing a new one just to have on hand. I started by drawing a picture. I'll make the quilt in the same fashion as the one with the applique doggy design in the center. So now I'm making the new one with an applique cat design.

Meanwhile, the puff quilt is progressing. I've had to search through my stash for those small bits of cloth that I can use up. I find that I can sew up a puff every time I'm waiting for my computer to warm up. Although you can make a puff quilt with a pattern of colors in mind, the one I'm making is just a big mixture of fabrics.
