Week Six! *whew* I really knocked a lot of things off my list the first few weeks, and my progress then slowed waaayyy down. I blame the two awesome quilt-a-longs that I couldn't helping joining. However, I am soooo close to finishing my nine patch quilt. I am hoping to come back later today and show you how it turned out! This is my oldest and biggest unfinished project, so I can't wait to say it is officially done!
Also, I do have an awesome giveaway for you all today! Bonnie of Fishsticks Designs is offering one reader a chance to win TWO of her PDF patterns! I first came across Bonnie's blog through Made By Rae's first Spring Top Week. She made beautiful tops, and I have been a regular reader ever since.
Bonnie is also a talented pattern designer. Go check out her etsy shop! She offers several different patterns for both big and little kids. Lots of fun, comfy knit patterns! Her blog also has a number of great free tutorials and tips with how to sew with knits!
She offers several patterns for boys! (and good ones can be hard to come by!)
I love this sweet little top pattern for girls. It just looks so comfy. It comes in both little and big girls sizes!
A baby layette pattern! (Who could resist this picture? So sweet.)

1. Leave a comment letting me know what two patterns you would like! You can find them here.

Oh man! Such great patterns!!! I adore the Austin Lee romper and the Lazydays Lounge Set!! So stinkin' adorable! I have a little guy, can you tell? haha Thanks so much!
ooh, i love the undercover bottoms boxer briefs and the insider or out pocket pant! thanks.
One itty bitty finish for me, but I am oh-so-close to another finish! Should be ready by Saturday... :)
These patterns look like the perfect way to start working with knits. I'm loving the Undercover Boxer Briefs! The Charlie Tee & Hoodie pattern looks pretty awesome too.

We were super duper busy with church events for the last couple of weeks, so sadly, I was not as productive as I would have liked. I did start up again yesterday, though, on a ruffley crocheted scarf. I'm hoping to have time to finish it today!

Love that she has boy patterns! I especially like the Rockin' the Raglan pattern and The Undercover Bottoms Boxer Briefs pattern.
I would choose the austin lee coverall and romper. My brother is having his third kid and this would be super cute! I also worked super hard this week and finished a pouch, 4 farmer's wife blocks and my modern meadows quilt!
I finished a baby quilt this week! Woohoo! You can see it at
http://new2quilting.blogspot.com/2011/07/jungle-babies-interactive-baby-quilt.html
As for patterns, I like the Charlie Tee and hoodie pattern and the This Inside or Out Pocket Pants sewing pattern includes sizes 6 months to 5T
I'd love the Rockin The Raglan pattern, and the Little Fishies Undies. I love that these are now avialable as PDF patterns! So much easier to just print the size you need, so I can make things for all of my kids : )
I finished a project this week! This was one I'd been meaning to get to for, oh, the past 18 months...
I finally just sat down & made curtains for our schoolroom. Very simple & they are super cute.
I also started working on a flag banner (or banners) for my kids birthdays (one owl themed, one Batman themed)... Those don't need to be done until October & December, but, well... I should get started now ; )
I like the curved raglan pattern, and probably the Austin Lee Romper.
I like The Austin Lee Coverall & Romper (I love one-piece outfits on little ones!) and The Patrick Curved Raglan Big Kid Sizes. Such great patterns!
I finished a bag, oven mitts, and revamped a dress into a skirt (something I've needed to do for ages!) this week. :) Sounds productive, but they were just little things.
Good stuff Meg! It is good that your are getting close on the 9 patch quilt. Cute giveaway. I like the layette pattern and little undies patterns are so darn cute!
How cool! I finished a baby fabric rattle and a table runner. I love the Charlie T and Hoodie and the Emmy top and girls dress! cute! thanks!
I love the Wee Tot collection and the Emmy top!
I'm making progress on a baby quilt this week and refashioned a couple of thrifted dresses.
i made 2 patchwork potholders!
I am working on GFG quilt...
Thanks for a chance to win!!!
Loves The Inside or Out Pocket Pants and The Charlie Tee & Hoodie Infant-Toddler sewing pattern....
Wow, I was just looking at her patterns. I love the designs she offers! If I win, I would like The Patrick Curved Raglan Infant-Toddler pattern and I'm stuck trying to decide between the Undercover Bottoms Boxer Briefs & the Little Fishies Undies. Tough decision!
Thanks for a chance to win :)
I would get the little fishies undies since my two year old might be ready to potty train soon and is tiny so the store undies are huge on her! I would also choose the Emmy top and dress.
Would LOVE to have the Boxer Briefs pattern and Emmy is just precious!
Thanks for the chance! Would be thrilled to win!!!
Just posted a link to the items I've checked off of "my list" this month!!! So nice to see so many things finished and being loved! :)
i like the emmy top and the undies patterns! thanks for the lovely giveaway! i've been contemplating trying my hand at making undies for the little ones for a while now!
I have not started or completed anything! but i have been thinking about starting something...does that count?!
Hi Meg
I've made progress towards finishes of big projects and have finished two sets of bee blocks which have been hanging around for a long time. The list is still incredibly daunting though!
Jules.
PS: love the nine patch in the next post, so fresh and vibrant! And the dog is super cute too :)
And for my second entry I finished up a pair of shorts for my son. I had the pattern cut and sitting with the fabric, but finally managed to cut and sew it this weekend.
My 2 favorite patterns are: Little Fishies Undies and the Emmy top! Lots of cute stuff in the shop!
Had to remove my last post. major grammer mistakes! ;0
This week I completed 2 quilt blocks for my 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee. It feels good to have something done! :)
Cute patterns! I have a two month old niece now, so I would go with the two baby patterns in her shop. ALMOST as cute as my niece (she's quite the looker, you know...). Thanks! :)
I'd pick the Wee Tot Collection and the Boxer Briefs. THANKS for the chance!

Nope, no progress yet this week. But I'm hoping to get working on some back-to-school lunch bags for my girls tonight.
