Blocks

The other day I was reading about how babies Emme's age like to knock over blocks and put things in and out of containers, etc. A combination of that information, feeling crafty, leftover material and fun craft blogs is what led me to make Emme some cloth blocks. They were fairly simple to make and Emme loves them! It's also fun to remember what I used the fabric for in the past. There is fabric from some curtains, a dress I made for myself, Emme's Halloween costume, Emme's blessing dress and a quilt I am making with the MBASA. I started out with 4" fabric squares and made 10 blocks total. They are not perfect, but I think they turned out alright. Here are some pictures.

Halloween Costume

I made Emme's costume this year. She went as Little Red Riding Hood. The pattern for her blessing dress came with a hooded cape pattern, so all I had to do was buy the fabric... it was great! Justin went as the woodsman who saved riding hood and I went as the grandma. I also made a little basket and put a "wolf" (which was really just a dog) in it.  Emme was so cute! Here are a couple pictures.

Blessing Dress

I made a blessing dress for our daughter Emmeline at the end of July.  She was blessed on August 2nd.  I decided to do it last minute.  I learned a lot, and I think it turned out pretty well considering I made it in a week and I don't have that much experience.
