Another Etsy Order

I've been working on an Etsy Order... another navy Farm Quilt.

For this quilt, the customer did not want buttons for the eyes or nostrils since it was for a baby.  I knew I could applique the nostrils but wasn't quite sure about the eyes.  Then I as I sat there contemplating what to do, I realized I could just use my embroidery machine and embroider the eyes. I ended up using a ".", enlarging it a little and there it was... two eyes!  I may have to use this method from now on!!

I was particularly happy with the FMQ on this quilt.  I am not sure why but it just looked better.  I did adjust the stitch length and shortened up the meandering.

It is off to the new owners so hopefully they will enjoy it!

I finally bought a new iron board and this one is a little wider than the standard size.  I love it!  I also realized that when I set up next to my cutting table it helps expand my work surface just a little bit more.  My hubby claims that I am pretty easy to please if a new ironing board can bring me that much happiness!

P.S. The ironing board is from Target and after reading the reviews I did purchase and additional cover since the reviews indicated that the original cover is a little thin.  I just put the new one over the original and things are prefect!!  It is a little pricey but in my opinion totally worth the price!
