Advent madness

A few weeks ago I made an advent calendar for L.  The advent calendar itself came together pretty quickly but I was nervous to quilt it because of the pockets.



I'm not a huge fan of appliqué so I used a fabric paint pen for the numbers.

I liked the way this advent calendar turned out so much that I made a second one for my niece.  The advent calendars are almost identical but I added some fabrc with a little more pink for hers.  She will be celebrating her first Christmas this year.

Practice quilting words



This was the first year my little one was able to go trick or treating.  Every year on Halloween the poor kid has had an ear infection.  He actually had his first ear surgery on his first Halloween and last year he had a ruptured ear drum.  This year he could actually hear and was more than ready for some trick or treating!
