Yes, Grasshopper


A dear friend of ours is having a baby next month (there's been a baby boom in my world this year!), and I wanted to make something for the little nipper. She's an amateur entomologist so I decided to go with an insect theme-- grasshopper booties!

And since it will be a fall baby I thought a quilt might be nice to have. I never realized how hard it would be to find non-butterfly bug fabric. But I did, finally....

We joked when she first told us she was pregnant that we should call the baby lil' Bug, so I added that to the quilt. It was the first time I'd tried fusible web... it's pretty neat stuff. I'll have to see what other projects I can come up with to use it...
