Hey Pam - this one's for you ;)

My bloggy buddy Pam and I recently gave each other a challenge to complete some specific projects each month - it's a very informal agreement, and we email back and forth with reminders and ideas :)  My goal is to sew 2 gifts and 2 new-to-me projects per month, and hers is to sew 2 gifts and a robot block :)  January is now completed - this is a good time to be in a later time zone - HA!!!!  *winks @ Pam* :)

My gifts were done a few weeks ago - two penguin bags :)  I had trouble with the new-to-me section of the challenge - suffice it to say I need to work on my grommet and paper piecing skills, LOL.  Since I was running out of time I decided to go with a tried and true project to donate to Blue Hills - but I would do them in new-to-me designs.  Somewhat of a cop-out, but the rules aren't written in stone ;) 

The flamingo penguin bib on the left is made with the bib pattern from stubbornlycrafty.  I modified the penguin applique from her zipper bag pattern (which I bought last year) to fit the bib.  I love how it turned out :)   The blue shark bib is a scrap buster - I have enough of all of the fabrics to make several bibs in each of the designs - I'll add a taggy blanket to each set and shoot them off to Blue Hills for the mom/kid reading program :)  I get to post this to Celtic Stitches "New to Me" linky party as well - I'm on a roll!

  2. Ha, ha... I'm going by Canadian time!!! Still didn't get part 2 of the challenge started, but I'll be making up for it this month. I LOVE how you've adapted the monster bib to add the flamingo. The shark bib looks great with the different blue fabrics. You've even added waves with decorative stitches - very effective.

  3. I like the tweaking of the rules! Otherwise I'd have to be considered a total failure most of the time. Love that shark bib in particular.

  5. The love the little bibs! So cute! I've got a new niece or nephew scheduled to arrive near the end of July, so I might have to try out a couple cute patterns.
