Measuring Success: Quilts 2014

In order from oldest to newest.

Christmas Gifts (Late? Early? You decide...) (March 2014)

Basket Weave and Skulls Quilt (May 2014)
I made this quilt for a very good friend of mine. It was supposed to be finished for her birthday... in June... of 2013. But because she's such a good friend, she didn't care that I sent it late. ;) This was my first attempt at "quilting" my own quilt. I didn't loathe the process, but I definitely didn't enjoy it. From now on, I will only attempt to quilt my own projects if they're baby quilts or smaller. Otherwise, I'm willing to shell out the extra cash to have it done by someone else.

Table Runner For My Mother-In-Law (June 2014)

Noodlehead Cargo Duffle (June 2014)

Air Force Flight Suit Diaper Bag (August 2014)
A friend of a friend paid me to make this diaper bag for her. It was my first time making this particular Simplicity pattern, but after just finishing my Noodlehead cargo duffle, I felt pretty confident with my bag-making skills. :) You can customize it by adding your husband's name tag and squadron patches. (I used my husband's patches in these pictures.) I also made a matching changing pad. I'm really happy with how this turned out. I might even make one for myself and use it as a carry-on or messenger bag until it eventually (in the VERY DISTANT future) gets used as a diaper bag. ;)

Noodlehead 241 Tote (August 2014)
I made this as a thank-you gift for our realtor after she helped us find a house in New Jersey. As soon as I saw the fabric with the little beach houses, I knew it was perfect for this project.
