Very Funny-and True!

Lauren just sent me this. It is perfect!

Classes at Mission Rose

I am teaching a couple classes at the shop this winter.  Here are my samples:

This is a table mat using reversible quilted hexagons.  It is the same technique I used for this little purse.

 

I have really been wanting to teach a hand piecing class so I came up with this wall hanging:

I have a renewed interest in doing handwork.  I am working on another hexie project.  I will post more on it later.

Happy Sewing!

I Have Had a Very Hard Day!

(By the way, Buddy brought the elephant with him-we did not put it there!)

What Time Is It?

Time to show you my new clock!

Isn’t it too cute?  Mimi got this for me for Christmas. I finally got a picture of it the other day.  I love the way its eyes and tail move!

So Where Have I Been?

Actually it is kind of embarrassing. A friend gave me a computer game- Seven Wonders ll and I am terribly in love with this game.  It is just a jazzed up Bejeweled Blitz.  It has several levels and I have been stuck on one level for about a week now!  Another friend calls these games “time-suckers” and that certainly describes this game.  I have to wean myself off…

In the meantime, I have been doing a little sewing.  In fact I have the baby quilt on the frame. I don’t want to show too much, but here is a peek:

It will actually be done before the shower!

I will post more pictures after Karen receives the quilt.

Movie Monday 1/16/12

I remember watching Billie Lauder on Alex Anderson’s show (was it Sew Many Quilts? I can’t believe I don’t remember!!).

I think Eleanor Burns does the same trick. Either way It is still neat.

Enjoy!

The Owls Have Landed!

A New Project for the New Year!

My niece, Karen is expecting a baby girl this coming April.  Last week we went to Mission Rose to pick out some fabric for her quilt.

We picked out Terrain by Kate Spain for Moda (I love this line!).  Karen’s theme is owls.  I found a picture we both liked and I started it today.

This is how far I got today.  I want to sew down this layer before adding the momma and baby owl. I am loving it already!

The quilt is going to be a variation on a Chinese Coins pattern. (I got the idea from a quilt on Moda Bake Shop) This will be part of the center of the quilt.

Karen’s shower is Feb. 11. Will it be completed in time? Stay tuned!
