Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

So i had this idea for a baby quilt. I wondered if i could pull it off....i think i just may have! Some friends of ours are expecting. He is a musician, primarily a Guitar player. I wanted to make them a quilt that would be meaningful and something that they would really appreciate, and i wanted it to be cool. They are having a little girl so it is (obviously) pink and yellow. It says..."my dad rocks!" and then smaller at the bottom it says "and my mom rolls" and has an embroidered baby carriage I of course waited until the last possible minute to take a picture of it, so I didn't get a GREAT picture of it....i did get some detail shots I modeled the guitar after one of his guitars....i was happy with it. I did the quilting and the applique with my machine but all of the embroidery was done by hand. It was the first time i ever tried applique, it was a lot of work, but totally fun and i think they really liked it.

Today i did a photo shoot for a friend of mine. He's a musician, and i guess they all need pictures for "stuff". Anyway, it was fun. I enjoy getting to be creative in "grown up" ways now and then. But really, who doesn't? Here are a few of my favorite pictures from today....I hope he is happy with them! You can click on any of them to see them bigger (i think), the last one is especially funny...
