A Little Sewing While Watching Football Tonight . . .

Today was so much fun!!  Went to a friend's home for early dinner and got to chat and eat and then come home to take a nice long nap!!

After the nap, a little miscellaneous sewing and then decided that I would make a Kaffe Fassett pillowcase during the football game!!



Plus we are puppy-dog sitting this cute little guy all week!!  His name is Ace but I call him the little white interloper dog!!  I just texted his Mom and told her we might forget to give him back to her next Tuesday!!


Happy Thanksgiving . . .

to all my friends here in America!!


May you and yours be blessed this day and all through the Christmas and holiday season!!  And lots of love to all my friends throughout the world!!  Have a joyous day!!

Working on a Class Proposal . .

I was invited to submit a proposal to teach a class as a quilt fest next spring, so here is what I proposed ~


And here is the back - I wasn't sure the front was colorful enough so I changed up the back!!

Slow Sunday Stitchin'

For October's Flowers in the Inchy Hexegon Flower Swap, I was very late, so I decided that my November Flowers would get to Lynette P. down under within the correct month.  Lynette wanted black and white prints with bright aqua centers.  Yikes, I hope these centers are "aqua"!!

Saturday's Smile!!


What I have Been Working On . . .

the past two weeks.  My friend is not able to do any intense quilting these days, so I offered to make this gorgeous quilt top for her hubby!!


It was originally supposed to be a Christmas present for him because the whole family was going to get together for Christmas.  Two weeks ago, my friend said the family changed their mind and decided to do the family thing at Thanksgiving instead!!  Yikes!!

I had only started cutting out the some of pieces prior to two weeks ago and look . . . it's done!!  And this picture just does NOT do it justice!!

It is a Buggy Barn pattern so the stars were supposed to be pieced in Buggy Barn fashion, but with the time restraint we decided machine appliquing the stars would be better time-wise.  Well, I like it soooo much better!!  The applique just gives the whole thing a pop!!


Isn't it fun when a project is so much fun to make and then turns out so wonderfully!!  I'm not sure if it was Pam or Janet at Buggy Barn that designed this quilt but it is brilliant!!   Thank you to all the wonderful, creative designers that allow us craftsmen to make such amazing quilts!!

Slow Sunday Stitchin . . .

I was finally able to complete my two October Flowers for Carrie W. in Aurora, Colorado in the Inchy Hexegon Flower Swap!!  Carrie wanted batiks or prints in the Editya Sitar fabrics, so I chose fabrics from her Snow Days collection and had a little fun with some fussy cutting!!  :-))
