A few of the projects that I have been working on! There is a baby quilt I am making for a friend in the top left corner that has a cute Noah's Ark print, a couple of rag dolls that I sewed up in about an hour, and the summer place mats that I am working on! 
Finished place mat! This is the first project that I have done ENTIRELY on my own. My mom taught me how to quilt and bind it but I actually did everything this time. (She quilted the last project after I had pieced everything together.) I know the quilting design in very simple but I am really excited that I didn't need any help!
Here is what the back looks like. The fabrics were coordinating. 
My little dolls! Very mod, right?I am really excited about sewing when I get to Japan. Apparently quilting is a big deal over there! I'm really grateful to my mom for this past weekend's tutorial. She came to down to hang out with Cliff and me and taught me a lot about my machine (her old Bernina,) and fabrics, quilting, binding, patterns, and much much more. I am beginning to gain a little confidence in this new hobby and not a moment to soon! It's crazy to think that Cliff and I will only be in the States for 1 more month!

Oh!!! Oh oh oh, I am so in love with the doll!!! Was it easy?! You are the cutest, most creative being EVER!
How cool are you?!? What a neat and useful talent!
ok well I don't quilt so what you call easy quitling looks TOTALLY hard and amazing talent! And as for the dolls...I think you could sell them, they are so cute...I would buy one!
I am jealous of your many talents, you are just so good! Your dolls are adorable, are they hard to make? You might need to teach me sometime ( I am not sure when being that you will be in Japan) they remind me of my doll I had growing up, and I wnat to make one for my little girl. they are cute! can't wait to see you!
