I didn't want to, but I did . . .

. . . start I new project!

A lady that my mom works with would like me to make 3 cats for her daughters. I couldn't say 'no', especially since I get to make something for girls.

So, here are the fabrics that I;m going to work with:

I just love the flowers to the far left and the pink ones in the middle! 

PP #4 - Done

I'll be mailing these out first thing Monday morning.

Hope the person receiving these are happy with them.

 

Pot Holder Pass 4 - Progress

I was just thinking to myself the other day that I really should get started on making the pot holders for round #4.

So, I sifted through my e-mails to find the one about what my partner like, etc. Here's her preference in fabrics: "Color Preferences - I love all colors as long as the fabrics are modern..."

Seriously, I couldn't have gotten a better partner, since whoever has me, got the same color preference.

Here is what I have so far...

Potholder #2:

I'm hoping to get them finished this week.

More Diamonds....

...than I know what to do with...50 to be exact, not counting the the half-side, half-top/bottom, and corners pieces that I still need to cut.



I've been slowly working on cutting the blocks for my 'Summer Garden' quilt made of Kaffe Fassett, Jacob Phillips, and Brandon Mably fabrics....it takes a little longer, since each diamond is fussy-cut, which means that not a single diamond is the same.

Maybe my 'Summer Garden' will be done in time for next summer!

Orange & Aqua Blocks

All week I've been working on my 'orange & aqua' blocks...so far I most of them done... think there are still about another 12 or so to make, but I'm going to hold off for right to see if I like the length & width...or do I want some sashing....here's a little peak....



If you have any thoughts let me know!

Orange & Aqua

I purchased this fabric a while back and it all started the goldfish material, so i bought coordinating fabric to go with.



I knew that I wanted a pattern that is squares, so I borrowed the tutorial from Cluck, Cluck, SEW called The Orange Quilt. I drew up my own pattern to see what my quilt will look like..I'll be using my own measurements for this quilt..i want to center squares to be a little larger and the outside squares a little smaller.

For the Nieces

Andy's older brother and his family will be here Saturday for a week or so and I thought I'd make something for my nieces.

Here is what is in the works...



I'm using a Melly & Me pattern called Claudine, who is a very cute cat.

New Sewing Room Wall

Since I share my sewing room with the boys...half sewing room, half toy room. But there is one wall that you cannot do much with, besides hanging a picture or in my case a series of pictures. Well not so much pictures but swatches of fabric.

I the fabrics do not have to match with the the exception of having birds on it..so here is what I have so far.
