Baby steps...

I have started working through my big pile o' projects, and have made a little progress! First, we're working on "updating" this vintage high chair for Kate. Tom is helping me refinish the tray so that it is safe for her, and I made a cushion and added safety straps. The tray is still in process, so I'll get a good picture when the whole thing is all finished.



Next, I finished this Envelope Flap Shoulder Bag - an original design of mine - made from 100% Italian vintage wool. Nice, eh? Yeah, I thought so to, and decided this would better serve as a birthday present to myself, and I'll make another one to post to the Etsy shop later.



And, I've started working on a quilt for Kate. This is a Benartex fabric, Baby Genuises Grow Up. It's left over from my days as a Bernina National Educator, and has been floating around here for about two years! I'm using some of my own hand dyed fabrics to go along with the prints.



I'm in the process of cutting out all the squares (phew, my least favorite part!) and hope to start sewing it together this week. This is just one of those simple seams-out quilts, nothing fancy, and I hope it sews up fast.

I've also deviated from my list a little bit to fit in some holiday gifts, and am excited to start some of those when the quilt is finished!

So what's on your sewing table this week?
