My Sewing Smorgasborg Continues...

Audrey's brother will arrive next month and will certainly need some boy pants:

...and back:

Pattern is Anna Maria Horner's Quick Change Trousers from her Handmade Beginnings book.  These are the six month size and I used some of her Little Folks fabric (the orange), some Heather Ross Far Far Away III (the clothes on the line) and some fat quarters of African fabric (I used the wrong side to have the print show).  I'll be making the jacket too.

Block Six of Temecula Quilt Company's Summer Star is complete:

And lastly a couple of needlebooks; one for my daughter and one for the church festival:
 
 
Here is the inside:


...yes, still need to quilt Salt Air and get buttonholes in my jacket...no progress on those.

Such cute stuff! I love those little pants. Great idea to use the wrong side of the fabric so the print showed. Just great!

You'll have the best dressed grandkids ever. Adorable trousers and I love the brown with the big "stamp" on the legs. Very cute needle keeper too.
