Fluffy

I've been writing many blog posts in my head these past few days.  But I have not been getting those words to my computer.  Argh.  Anyway, I had no one fooled on what I was doing with this!  I made very simple tutu's for my two of granddaughters for Christmas.  Here is the youngest of them in action:

And her big brother had to give it a whirl, too:

I have done a lot of sewing this past weekend.  I used my walking foot with the seam guide to quilt the ocean-themed baby quilt I have been making.  The quilting is 1 inch apart and the needle is set to 3.7 on my Bernina machine.  I often wonder what stitch lengths other people use.  No one ever seems to write about that.  I am very anxious to see how the quilting looks after the quilt is all washed and crinkly.  (The baby boy arrived in Bermuda this past weekend...9 1/2 pounds!)

And the quilt below is ready for the final thread trimming and pressing of the back.  I have the binding ready, but there is still the back to put together.
