a day of fun

I had a good day in the sewing room yesterday. 

And of course I had to make one block…you know…to make sure that I liked it…

And I do.  Like it, I mean.

Phew.

I also played around and made a House’s house block.You can find the pattern…and the story behind the block…here.  It was SO easy and very fun to put together.  I definitely see more of these in my future :)

I also rehung my design wall.  It’s been down since I painted the room…but momma needed that space again!

I find that when I have things up on the design wall, I’m more likely to stick with the project.  Anyone else find that, too?  And this sucker is BIG!  About 90x90, so I’ve got plenty of room without having to move things around too much.

This weekend

I woke up to this…both boys sleeping in Jack’s bed.(this was the cuteness…before the complete craziness of a weekend morning!)

I plan on spending lots of time working on this…schnibble in Meadowsweet. 

I’ve already begun the cutting…and I’ve been through 1 cup of coffee.

On to the piecing…and more coffee!

It’s going to be a good day.  It has to be, really, because when you start with coffee in a pretty mug and pretty Meadowsweet fabric…how can it not be a good day?!

(coffee cup from Home Goods…cause I know that someone will ask)

What do you have planned today?  This weekend?

a big finish and some destashing

Hello all!  My labor day was spent at home relaxing and finishing my Imagine Big Schnibble!  Woo Hoo!  I’ve said this before, but this is for sure my new favorite!This sucker is HUGE!  It takes up most of the floor space in the sewing room! 

I’ve been trying to decide on a backing…and it’s definitely going to be from the “Bliss” family.  What do you think…flannel or cotton back?

Next up…I’ve done some more destashing…and there’s some good stuff in here :)  Shipping prices will be determined at the time of payment, but I definitely do not charge more than what the actual shipping is.

stitchy update

One of my cgqc goals for the last few months was to finish at least two of the squares in the Sweet Treats cross stitch project that I’ve been working on.  Well, I’ve done it.

I’m still plugging away at my Imagine big schnibble using Bliss.  The middle is together, 3 of the 4 inner borders are on, then it’s just the outer pieced border left.  That always seems to take the longest for me.  Anyone else feel that way too?

So, since I don’t have any quilt pics to tempt you with, I’ll show you a few other treats.  Have you seen this cute new fabric…Wee Wonderland by Moda?  Love. It.I have a feeling that this will become a quilt for my friend who is having a baby in February.  I think that the bold colors will be perfect for boy or girl, don’t you?

I also played around a bit with my camera this morning.  I caught some bees who were busy working… 

and I caught some leaves with fresh raindrops…    I hope that you all are having a great weekend…whatever you’re doing!
