A bit of this and that..

Hello ya'all,

Hope those of you in the path of the snowstorm Nemo are doing ok out there. Pat, let me know how you are.

What am I working on? Doing the Autumn mystery quilt from December. Neat thing about the Dec mystery, is you get four quilts in one pattern. Or, put them all together for one king sized quilt. Get it here.

I'm sloooowly working on Isaiahs I spy quilt.

I'm trying to get my pattern for Pats Gems written, we'll be doing a Saturday Special on it in May.

In other news...

I got my Obol that I won off of the Sew We Quilt site. Thanks again Samm and Obol! This bowl is great, if you love your cereal crunchy and not soggy. I got the white one.

My good friend Lizzie has a new blog and a new business. She's started long arming. So if you live in her area, give her a jingle...or even if you don't and are looking for a good long armer.

And speaking of Saturday Specials. We would love for you to join us over at the Q&N forum. Our first Saturday Special will be on Feb 23rd. Read all about it here.

That's all for today folks....have a great one.

Bits and pieces

  Hello Everyone,

Sorry I've been so quiet. My little one is teething, those stubborn teeth still haven't popped thru the gums! And now he has a cold, and all he wants is Mommy to hold him. So when he's napping, I'm doing household things.

So I haven't gotten much sewing done, and as this is a sewing blog, I just haven't had much to report ;)

I have done a little bit of quilting on my 4 patch quilt.

I am pretty annoyed though. I had started to quilt this before I had my Singer and could use my walking foot. And even though I checked the back occasionally, I somehow missed these little holes in the backing that my regular foot was making at the end of a quilting line. Where I would turn the quilt to go in a different direction. I forgot to take a picture of these holes to show you.

So after I was merrily sewing along with my walking foot, I happen to notice these holes. I don't know what to do now. This was going to be a Christmas gift. Sigh~

I also got some fabrics cut out to make a small pouch. I need to make my first son a shaving kit bag, and am figuring out how I want to form it.

Which is going to be a Christmas present to him, if I ever get it made! I have a few other things on my to make list for Christmas, so I hope to get some sewing time in soon.

We had quite the storm last week. The winds topped out at 55 mph! We got a small hole in the corner of our van windshield due to a branch going thru it. Sigh~ And we got tons of rain. We have one more little rain system right now, and then we'll have some sun come Thursday.

Take care all.
