A New Stitch & Quilt Along . . .

Hello!

Sorry I've been gone so long. I've been really out of it lately. I've been very tired, with lots of allergy problems and just haven't felt like doing anything. I have managed to get some cleaning and organizing done. My projects are lining up though. Hopefully I can get back to sewing again soon. I miss it!

In the meantime I discovered a new Stitch & Quilt Along I'm joining . . .

It's the Garden Steps Stitch & Quilt Along with Clover & Violet. Here's the sample block . . .

It's so yummy and so me!  :)  You should go and check it out!

For the quilt I need 12 fat quarters and a solid for the center. Last week I noticed that Sew Lux Fabric & Gifts had the fabric I wanted to use on sale. I could pick out the 12 fat quarters I wanted and order just them so I did. It arrived today . . .

Such pretty packaging! I almost didn't want to open it . . . (almost.)  ;)  Here's a close up of their business card . . .

I choose to use Ruby by Bonnie & Camille for Moda. I just love it!  :)  Here it is all wrapped up . . .

And another view . . .

Here are the twelve fat quarters I choose . . .

 Aren't they yummy?!!! The quilt requires two colorways so I'm using red . . .

and aqua . . .

I already have some white on hand so I'll be using that. Now I just need to figure out what threads I'll be using for the embroidery. Then check my stock and order the ones I don't have. I can't wait to get started on this one. It looks so fun!  :)

Until next time . . .

All Cut & Ready to Go!

Hello!  :)

I'm still avoiding cleaning . . . but I'm going to get moving anyway!  :)  I cut all the sashing, borders and binding for my Birdie Stitches Quilt. I also cut some cornerstones but I'm not sure if I'm going to use them or not.  I'll lay it all out and then decide. It looks so pretty! Can't wait to see it all put together!  :)

I received the fabric I ordered for the I Spy Charm Swap at Midnight Maker last night. So I got it all cut and ready to send out. I really love the umbrellas and the duckies aren't too bad either!  :)

Last but not least, I cut all the pieces I need for a surprise project that's been on my to-do list. It will be nice to get this one behind me. I'm way late on it. Can't wait to see how it turns out either as it's all in my head. I'll share it with you when I can.  :)

That's it for now. I better get my behind over to my sewing area and dig that sewing machine out so I can get sewing!

Until next time . . .

It's That Time Again...

Hello!  :)

It's time for another FNSI (Friday Night Sew-In). This time Bobbi from Crafty Vegas Mom is hosting. Be sure to go to her site and sign up to join me and all the others tomorrow night!

Of  course I still haven't managed to clean up my sewing area and get back to sewing yet.

It just seems like such a big overwhelming job . . .

Okay . . . this isn't me or my mess but that's how I feel. I have big plans to get busy tomorrow morning cleaning and organizing so I can get back to it. I have so many projects I need to work on . . . some I want to work on . . . and LOTS of new ones I want to get started!  :)

Wish me luck!  :)  I'll let you know how it goes!

Until next time . . .
