We just returned from a Hochstrasser family reunion in St. Louis, MO. We went and did just about everything there was to do in that fabulous town. The highlight of the trip however, was seeing family. My youngest and newest Sister-in-law is due with a baby boy this October. She is super cute and going to be a great mom. I was so excited to put together a quilt for her new little one.
I went on line and literally searched for "cute baby quilt pattern". I found this "Precious Peeps Baby Quilt" from Joann's for free! Not only was it a free pattern, it wasn't too hard and it was DARLING!! (and oh so fuzzy!)
I kept myself busy on the 20 hour car ride to St. Louis sewing on the binding. (When I wasn't entertaining 3 little boys...)
I was "sew" happy with how it turned out and happy to brush up on my applique skills. (You never know when you will need them!) Now my mind is swimming with other variations I could do with this pattern. Just imagine penguins, owls, piggies....
Some one stop me!

Thanks Karin! The quilt did turn out adorable...I'm telling all my family about what a crafty sister-in-law I have :) PS Jordan and I found a really nice crib - and it was free! I can't wait till we move and I get to decorate the baby room. Jordan likes the green and blue theme we're doing now, hehe.
