Baby clothing blanket

Do you have baby clothing sitting around? Looking for an easy way to keepsake them into something usable or decorative? If can iron and basic sew or appliqué then this a is a quick way to put those adorable baby outfits to use.
1.I cut out 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 squares for a Separate quilt first, then cut various leaf shapes of left over garment pieces. Because leaves come in sizes it was a fast trim. ( you could cut a piece of cardboard template if you want your uniform).
2.Then I sketched my tree shape and traced it onto a iron on interfacing.
3. I cut out the fabric and interfacing in one and ironed them together.
4. All that is left next is arrange the leaves and sew or iron on.
5. Decide on a border or none and just sandwich with backing and quilt batting surround with bias tape and WALA

Of course, you can quilt it and jazz it up any way you like. I plan to use other scrapes for an outer border and back with a fun heirloom pattern here is my tree in progress:

Bonus Room Craft Room

This is our bonus room. It is akward to work with. Have you ever searched for bonus room pictures? Good ones? You get the same 5 over and over. talk about lack of inspiration!  With two little ones, this room has been a work in progress to adapt to the needs of everyone. It started as a craft room only, but has become a multipurpose room of fun. This is my corner, where I can craft and create admist the fun and in those rare moment shut the door and sew with out interuption....( in my dreams this happens).


My Husband made the desk and craft table...  It folds out to be 3ft x 5 ft. Scrapbooking, sewing and general arts and crafts all happen in corner of the bonus room. Another day soon I will share some more photos of the space where our life happens. I have plans for scalloped bunting and a little pazzain the kids area. So please stay tuned and comment below. I would lovew to hear from you~ Kara
