I was able to complete this quilt in just two days. I love how it turned out. Especially the prairie points. It was very, very easy to do.
I had a friend come over today and we did some crafty things. I started and finished this adorable carrot runner. I’m having Easter at my house this year. I thought this would be so cute for the center piece. I love how it came out and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.
After my friend left I started sewing the blocks for this quilt from Moda Bakeshop. I love how they are coming out. Funny how I picked the orange fabric to sew first after my orange project from earlier in the day.
I couldn’t resist any longer. I ordered a die cutter/embosser and it came this week. What fun! I know that I am going to have lots of fun with this thing. Plus what is not to love, it is pink and black! =)
Here are a couple of shots of the first things I made.
Those are felt flowers and cardstock flowers. I love that this die cutter will cut more than just paper.
If you are interested in where I got this, Ritz is having a big sale until the end of March.
I spent Sunday working around the house, finishing up homework and doing some crafty stuff. First up I finished this pincushion from Elegant Stitch. I’m sorry but I just looked and it is sold out. I could not get the finishing right with the piped edge. I was so unhappy with how it turned out that I came home last night and ripped it out and put on a twisted cord edge. I think it looks a lot better. Sorry for the crooked shot.
Then I started working on a cute bag with some Heather Bailey fabric from my stash. I used this tutorial. It is a little crooked but I like how it turned out. I’m going to make another using a different technique to see if I can’t get it straighter.
Several months ago I was visiting a fabric shop and they had a cute sample of an apron on display. It is a 15 inch square on point. Very simple and a cute idea. I made a small one for my niece and a little larger one for my nephew.
And finally, I had to leave you with two funny shots of one of our cats, Sammy. The first made me think he was in trouble, giving himself a timeout. The second shows you how big he is. I came back to my sewing area to find him sitting on my sewing machine table.
