Boy Variety

These little shoes don't take long to make but it takes me a long time to just get on with it.


Same pattern. Omitted the straps and top stitched the seams together, added a felt star and the buttons rescued from a condemned shirt.


My good friend Janet Daniels is the maker of this fabulous quilt based on a drunkard's path block. I think any child would love to race their cars on this track spying on the colourful fabrics as they go.



Lucky find for the backing.


Have you changed over to save your followers? The changes come into operation on July 1st and you will not be able to see your followers in google reader. At least that is how I understand it. I have no idea how it is all going to work or if all my followers will remain or those that I follow but, you will be able to follow me on Bloglovin. I hope to see you there too.

Happy stitching.

Shirley

    Awww, these are so cute; I can't decided which ones are cuter, the boy or the girl variety. And what an great quilt for a little boy or girl for that matter.

    I love those cute little shoes! (and the ones from your prior post too) I keep telling myself I will make an eye spy, but don't have the motivation--that one does look like fun with the little road to drive on.

    Those little shoes are adorable. Sometimes we just need to be in the mood to do it!
    Your friend was very creative with that quilt. I'm sure some little boy will love it.
    I've done the bloglovin thing but I don't really understand it.

    Lovely design for those little shoes Shirley. That drunkards path quilt could keep the kids occupied for ages. Don't like when technology changes, hard to keep up!

    Shoes are so sweet , do you know what Rachel is having?

    Not really sure about bloglovin I just went with what everyone one else was doing. Rightly or wrongly.

    I never saw quilted shoes before - what a terrific idea. I also hadn't heard anything about Bloglovin or July 1st - I guess I'm way behind the times. Oops!

    I love your little racetrack quilt. Some little boy is going to just love it to death. 8)

    Take care,

    The shoes are just as gorgeous as the girls ones. What young person wouldn't love the quilt, that's a winner.

    Very cute Shirley. I just cannot seem to get onto bloglovin. What did you do? No matter what I do, the bloody thing does not recognize my blog. Crazy, crazy.
    Little booties are fabulous. Handwork is always rewarding.

    You're so creative with the little shoes, both the boys' and the girls' varieties. They're adorable.
    The race-track quilt is a winner. I have to remember that for my grandson some day.
