Just a quickie!



Just a quickie right now. Lots of stuff I would like to post about, I can't until they are given to their new owners! My sewing area's been cleaned...somewhat. Still a work in progress I'd say.   Pictures above are some piles of fabric that I'm trying to decide on for a friend. She's asked for an iPod cover/band for her to take to the gym. The only trouble is picking fabric to match her personality from 'my' stash. 


Other things I'm working on is the Shot Cotton fabric challenge from the Modern Quilt Guild Milwaukee. My color to work with is in the far right bottom corner of the above picture-Blueberry. I'm pretty happy with my challenge fabric; we'll see if that still applies when I'm quilting this.  More to come in the next few weeks, and as an end note---go to the Wisconsin State Fair!!! Mission accomplished!

Cool tones...

The weather's finally cooled down here.  With cooler temperatures comes more productivity.  Gardens get tended, basements get cleaned, and quilt blocks get made! I've even got my fabric for my latest project, some pj's in this lovely blue flower fabric.  Here's a few pictures from this last weekend!

Just a little bit...


Time for a little bit of cleaning!  Going thru my scrap bin, I'm trying to be organized and hopefully USE some of the leftovers from my old projects.  Fingers crossed I can stick to it! 


Taking a break from cleaning, I've taken a few pieces I planned to use for my lunch bag (shown in my last post) and made them into mug rugs!  I'd heard of them but I've never used them.  Perhaps it's time.  Cookies and a coffee don't sound bad, right?


I made two, the second one I experimented with fancy stitch settings on my machine.  Loving the little starbursts!
