This one is for you Peg

Once again I am apologizing for my lack of activity on this blog.

It's not because I haven't been sewing, I have.  
I will let the pictures show you all my finishes from Dec to now.

What have you been sewing lately?  I must get back into the habit of reading blogs.  Now days all i have time for is a quick buzz through Instagram.  

Happy Stitching

Happy Easter

I hope that everyone of you has a happy and blessed Easter Weekend.    I finished this table runner for a friend/client just in time for it to grace her beautiful large dining room table. 







Poor Lily had to go to the Vet yesterday for some skin irritations.  The Vet tech had fun decking her out in Bunny Ears.
Happy Easter!

Thanks to all that have entered the giveaway for the Basic Rain FQ bundle.   


Have a great weekend with your family and friends. I hope you can squeeze in some stitching too.

Happy Stitching

OMG

Has it really been almost another month between blog posts?  Where does the time go?

I have been busy sewing and running the house!  I made a few quick projects.  

A new pencil box pouch for my daughter.


 A huge box pouch for my toiletries


A welcome spring front door hanger

And also this springy table runner

Can you tell we are just itching to have some spring like weather around here.

I did manage to get some much needed vitamin D with a quick trip to Florida to visit family and Mickey Mouse over spring break.



stay tuned for a sponsored giveaway coming this way soon. 

Happy Stitching

Finishes

I would like to post about some finishes, but I can't.



I made these

????
(can't show you yet silly, someone might be peaking at this blog)


And this 



















This table runner is now gracing my mother's coffee table this holiday season.



I started Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt called Celtic Solstice.  The first step uses the Tri Rec rulers, which I had to go out and purchase.  

I was able to pull the fabric from my stash.   

base triangles cut

sewing process started


Sewing processed stopped.  I have come up against a very BIG, hard, brick wall.  My squares aren't coming out to 3.5" as required.  I am just about sick about it.  Some are fine, others are really not.  
I am not sure if I should recut fabric and resew.  Rip these apart and resew.  Wait to see what/how these go in the quilt and see if I might be about to fudge them in somehow.  

What would you do?

Giving Thanks

Thank you to all of you that participated in the Blog Hop Party.  I was overwhelmed by how many of you stopped by my little piece of the blogging world.  

Thank you for your sweet comments about the Hug quilts.  I wish I could be a 'fly (yuck) on the wall' when those kids open their gifts.  I hope it brings them much joy.

I have been terribly busy sewing, decorating and shopping.  Trying to get ready for the holidays without being too overwhelmed.  (is that even possible)

Here is what I have been sewing lately:

14 placemats for a client:  




Impression of meandering left in the snow!  

From the scraps of those 14 placemats came this table runner:



From even more scraps or a bit of poor cutting on my part, came these pillows for me!


I have some more projects finished, but I won't be able to post about them until after the holidays (wink wink)

BTW the winner of my Blog Hop Party giveaway is:

"49 Jessica"
Here's her comment:

I am working on pj's for my sisters and quilted place mats for my mom. Thanks for the giveaway. That pouch is so cute and I love the fabric. 

She also liked me on Facebook and started following me on Instagram.  Jessica I'll be sending you an email (as soon as I finish this post)

For all of the my readers celebrating American Thanksgiving have a wonderful time with your family and friends.
Happy Hanukah to those celebrating around the world.

Happy stitching
