I'm behind...

I feel like I've been playing catch up the last couple days...

i finished the Sweet quilt for SIcousin....

it's small just a lap quilt, but it's sweet and happy...

the binding is the pink paisley...i wasn't sure about it at first...but it looks great with the top and the backing fabric....

it needed simple quilting...so i echoed the seams the length of the shorter side of the quilt...and it looks really good...just crinkly enough but not too much...

LilFriend dropped this off with me...it's a gift for a big Iowa fan...

LilFriend has done a few of these sport team garden rocks...they are so cute...and spirited!!

And i have been frantically trying to finish my Red and Aqua Swap blocks....i'm mailing them tomorrow so that they get to Jane on time!!

Non-Helpful Weather

the weather here has not been conducive to taking pictures...cloudy, windy, and rainy....so that is why you have not gotten to see pictures of the quilt for SIcousin...

it's very pretty and i hope she'll really enjoy it...it will be on it's way to New Mexico before the end of the weekend....

but pictures must be taken first...right after work today...

so stay tuned...

What's with the attitude?!?

I was hoping to have a finished quilt top to show in this post today....but it wasn't in the cards...

my sewing machine threw a little tantrum...making noise and stitching too tight...so I gave her a good scolding...(and some oil and lint cleaning)...and am letting her sleep off her attitude...

hopefully the pictures tomorrow will be the finished quilt top...

do you remember these fabrics and this MBS project that I thought would be great for SIcousin's quilt...well it ain't too bad, huh??

really I just needed to put this sneak peak up for a couple people that I thought would really like to see it!!

Have a great weekend ya'll!!

New Studio

I had a wonderful weekend...my mom and grandma came to visit for my birthday...

and bought me a new table for my sewing...and were gracious enough to help me rearrange a ton of furniture...

and I could not be happier with the outcome...now all I need is a new cushy swivel chair and I'll never leave this studio area!!

I worked on a couple little sewing projects yesterday...more on those tomorrow...and jazzed up these little guys...

aren't they adorable??

Bright Happy Colors

I love these colors

it's bright and happy...and makes me smile!!

you know what else makes me smile....my friendship bag from the swap arrived...i just love it...or I should say them...i got two fantastic bags!! Thanks Veronica!!

Just a lil bit

I have a bunch of projects going all at once...which basically means that very little is actually getting finished...

so here's just a few little bits of what I've been working on...

this beautiful Avairy fabric is going to be a quilt based on this MBS project....it's for SIcousin...as soon as I got this fabric I knew it would be perfect as a quilt to go live with her in New Mexico....

these yummy, rich, warm fabrics are going to be a few Thanksgiving table runners...one for our turkey day and a couple for our etsy shop....

And...

my disappearing 9 patch squares for the Red and Aqua Swap are all finished...and ready to be mailed...aren't they cute??
