Love is Here!!!

The second block in our Fruit of the Spirit BOM is available here. The February block is Love of course!!!

Here is Joy's. 

I think it came out really pretty.

I will as usual be catching up soon. Really I will.

So I should get busy.

Happy stitching everyone!

L, A-

Fear the Green Bag!!!!

Or at least I believe my sweet hubby in starting to anyway. Anytime he sees one of these additions to the household...

he knows there will be a subtraction from the bank account. But they were having a pre-Super Bowl party yesterday and it would be rude not to attend right? And party is a synonym for SALE so it is even more fun.

So I did my part and came out with a full bag. Starting with these...

 

and then I found these on the super sale rack. They will tucked away for some fall projects.

 

and is it even possible to leave a fabric store without at least one or two or three or UMMM fat quarters?

 

I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really should not be buying any fabric at all since I have not gotten very much sewing done lately, but I am getting prepared.  

For what you ask???

In two weeks and one day we take possession of our new house. And that means (drum roll please) I have a sewing room once again. Where I can shut the door and leave my mess and not have to remember where I tucked my ruler or clean off the tiny dining table/homework table/everything else table to get something done.

Yippee!!! Yahoo!!!! 

So I have convinced myself (sort of) to stop stressing about my lack of productivity and work on organizing and planning my all out sewing assault that will happen soon!!

Or at least I can dream right???

Hope you are all getting lots done and I will try to catch up soon!!!

Block Update

It is time to get back to all those BOMs I have got going.

I have finished block 8 of Gail Pan's Christmas Wish.  Woo Hoo--only one more to go and I can put it together.

 

and of course I could get a lot more BOMs finished if I quit starting new ones.  But hey--I have to do this one--Joy and I created it. It is called Fruit of the Spirit and it is free each month on JJ's .

I finished the first one. Yippee!!! Yahoo!!!!

  

Now on to the next. It is February already. More blocks!!!

Back to work!!

L, A-

MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With 3 hours to spare!!!! My Valentine sewing party project is complete.  I still want to make some stuffed hearts to go with it. February finishes???

 

While I was busy finishing this--this was going on outside.

 

It was so pretty!! I just love holly trees in the snow with their gorgeous red berries.

 

  

And my Florida born DS was busy making up for lost time. 

 

 I am still deciding on a name for this guy. The one on the left that is. Love the hair!!

What fun!!

Not sure of the final count, but apparently this was one of the largest storms in these parts in 20 years. 

That is all for now folks.

I am almost done with a couple more blocks that I will share tomorrow. I must do a bit of other silly housecleaning things first. Sadly these things must be done.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and lots of finishes happened.

Later, A-

How is Everybody Doing?

Is everyone getting lots of stuff accomplished. Is love in the air? After a couple of cutting boo boos I have managed to finish the top of my table runner. Because of one of the cutting boo boos, it isn't quite like the original pattern. That is OK right? Creative license right??? Not having to go back to the store for another piece of fabric is even better.  

I guess one nice thing about making boo boos is that I already have some 2 1/2" strips to make a little matching basket. Always look on the bright side!!!! 

Hope you all are having a great day! 

I am off to see what you guys have been up to and then I need to start putting this runner together.

Coffee Break

My hearts are done, so it is time for a break.

After some snacks and a some peeking at what everyone else is doing, I will attempt to turn my hearts into a table runner. It will be nice to have some Valentine decorations since it is my favorite holiday!

More Later, A- 

Valentine Sewing Party

I am ready to go!! It is Saturday!! Time to start The Valentine Sewing Party. I have added chocolate and caffeine to my other snacks so I think I am set.  Can't wait to see what everyone is doing. Let the party begin.
