Whew!

I did it!

I finished Audrey's Baptismal Gown!  (Don't look Kara!!)
After a full weekend of hand stitching, the gown, slip, bonnet and bloomers are complete.  The ceremony is on Sunday.  I can't wait to see it on Audrey.


And I finally did some other sewing:
First I finished my number ten Jelly Roll Quilt Along block:

 
And I made Block One of the Designer Mystery BOM from Fat Quarter Shop using the 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain:


Good thing too that I finished it - Block two arrived in the mail today!

Now on to some other fun sewing!  Have a great week.
