Child's pillow and blankets done!



I started the pillows and blankets about 6:30 last night and finally finished. I made 4 quilted blankets ,5 pillows, and the last Car fabric book that had bought at Joann's last week.
The basketball pillow is for my nephew. They live in Houston and he has some Houston Rockets posters in his room. I could not find any fabric however I found some puffy stickers at Hobby Lobby in the clearance. So I bought basketball fabric and made a vinyl pocket on the front, slide in the sheet of stickers, and sewed in up. Luckily the stickers were on a heavy plastic material so it was like sewing with vinyl .
Okay I have a list a mile long of items I want to sew but I decided I better make a list of what needs to be done before Wednesday. I bought some Philadelphia Eagles fabric so I want to make my husband a tie, pajama bottoms, and a stress bag. I will tell more about that this week.
I also would like to make 3 Aivilo bags to put in jewelry for my sister in laws. Plus I need to finish the Texas Tech father and son ties, a buzz lightyear tie, and possibly some Christmas ties for church on Christmas Eve. Oh- I still need to wrap all my gifts, frame the wordles, and blow up some pics to frame for my husband.
I would like to get all the sewing and framing done by tomorrow so Wednesday can be wrapping and cleaning. Wish me luck!
