Keeping Busy

Whenever I get a new stack of fabric I want to jump in right away. These are no exception. I LOVE both of these patterns and spent weeks deciding whether or not to buy this pack of Pam Kitty Morning fat quarters. Clearly, I caved and knew just the pattern I wanted to use them for!

The problem is I always have so many projects going at once! These are my project roadblocks....

I will finish the binding on this today! (Also Pam Kitty Morning, by the way....love it! :))

Uhmmm this is actually someday going to be a quilt for my living room. Because it's for me, I only work on it in drips and drabs. Notice I keep it in the drawer of my "sewing room (closet)" table....yipes!

For someone special....hopefully getting to starting to piece it today!

So I guess I'll be shelfing my new fabrics and patterns for later this summer!

Life's A Beach

After weeks of residing on my living room chair, my Life's A Beach (<-----click the title to check out this quilt in my Etsy shop) quilt has finally made it's debut. Really, it was only a scant 36 inches of binding that I procrastinated on sewing. For some reason things have been slow in the quilting world. While I have finished Life's A Beach, I'm still a few months behind in my blocks from The Waterwheel House Quilt Shop. We started in November, I'm doing my blocks through the mail. I should have 6. I have.....

Yup, 4! I only have 4 finished and naturally I got the block for May in the mail today. Making it my mission to be up to date before June's block arrives! 

Finally finished....no time to spare

After quite some time (ashamed to give an actual number of months) I've finally finished this Ritzy Cracker Quilt. I had started it for my friend's daughter and was hoping to get it to her quickly. When I went to quilt this, I all of a sudden started experiencing all of these horrible things with my Pfaff QE. I had to put the quilt aside. Well needless to say, I fixed the kinks in my machine, but have been so reluctant to pick up this quilt again....after all it did cause the trouble in the machine? Hardly, but that's what my mind told me. So finally finished and my friend's baby just turned 1...YIPES!!!!

I don't usually do as much to the back, but I liked how the back reflects a more "little girlish" quilt and the front is a bit more cool. Hopefully she'll get a lot of use from this quilt! In the mail it goes!
