Sewing for baby

These are the things I created for my baby while I was pregnant. I finished the quilt the day before she was born. I haven't done any sewing since. I'm so glad I made them when I did because I'm not sure when I will find the time and space to sew again.
The ball is hand sewn using English paper piecing. The blue triangles are from a thrifted shirt and the other fabrics are from my stash.
The doll is made from wool felt. I made the pattern up as I went along and I love the way she turned out. She has removable clothes so I can make different outfits for her later. Her dress is reversible too.
My Mum often gives me little bundles of fat quarters for my birthday and Christmas. I gathered together a collection of warm browns to make this baby quilt. It's a traditional nine patch, machine pieced and quilted using my walking foot.

Polka dot coasters

I made these six mix and match coasters for a housewarming gift. On one side they're all Denyse Schmidt floral and on the other side, three are brown polka dots and three are red polka dots. That way you can have all floral or all polka dots or two of each.

They're 4" square with thin cotton batting. Simply cut two 4 1/2" squares of fabric and lay them right sides together. Cut a 4" square of batting and centre it on the fabric suares. Stitch around the batting, just catching the edge, leaving an opening for turning. Turn, hand stitch the opening then press.
