Will Work for Fabric

Prep-o-matic

Well, I have been busy prepping.

Prepping new wool projects, prepping for an invasion of family members this weekend, prepping for our "Nuns Gone Wild" trip to Houston next week....we're in prep mode here.

So of course I prepped the borders for the applique sampler, just in case I feel the urge to actually sew at some point.

ooo, getting near the end, right?  well, I have a bit of stitching to do, but this is not a carry -along project so it will have to wait until after next week.

let's see what else can I prep?  Maybe I should make some freezer meals for my men...or perhaps I will trust that they can find their way around the kitchen without burning the house down....what do you think?

Hugs and Stitches!

blame it on the weather or Sue Spargo

ever since I took a class with Sue Spargo, I've been having wool-lust.  I got over my fear of working with wool and now I'm diving in to wool projects with a vengeance.  It helps that the weather has turned to a crisp fall temperature....perfect wool project days, right?

So this weekend, I finished up this little project that I bought as a kit a while ago

mmmm, doesn't it feel like fall?

and I prepped these two projects:

this is going to be a sewing kit (that I bought as a kit YEARS ago)

come on, admit it, you have one of these candle mat kits too don't you?

And just to push the edge of the wool envelope, the first installment of the Pennies from Heaven BOMarrived this week

omg, I think I actually stopped breathing for a minute....

So, have you caught the wool fever?

Hugs and Stitches!

Yeah! and a little ugh....

I pushed ahead thru a two week long cold and finally finished up all of the blocks for the Applique Sampler...

I would love to start on the borders but of course I didn't have enough of the red to do borders.  So last week I placed an order on-line for a 2-1/2 yard piece of the border fabric.  The shop called me to say that they did not have that much and wanted to know what I wanted to do.  So I cancelled that order and ordered from another shop.

The mailman delivered on Saturday and I was all ready to start the border, only to find that they had only sent me 1-1/2 yards.   UGH!!! I called the shop and they explained  (with a bit of an attitude) that they did not have 2-1/2 yards so they sent me what they did have.  Double Ugh!  Needless to say I will not be ordering anything else from this shop.

So now I placed another order with a third shop and added instructions to only send if they had the full yardage.

The moral of the story....use the special instructions/comments when you place an order, otherwise you may not get what you want.

now I wait....

Hugs and Stitches!

let the panic begin

it's official, I have begun to panic about Christmas, specifically Christmas projects.

I know, we have plenty of time, right?  uh, no, it's 74 days away!

Ok, Project #1 is new stockings.  Think I'll go with these:

these should be too bad, think I'l embroider the  names and then whip these up.

Then I saw this panel and ordered it right away, this might be the answer for Project #2  for certain young lady.

what do you think?  cut it up, add some flying geese, this will be a quilt in no time, right?

Guess I better get over the dreaming about how fast these will be done and get sewing (or at least cutting)...

Hugs and Stitches!

seeing progress

Seems like I've been working on this quilt  FOR - EV- ER!

Ok it really hasn't been that long, but I'm determined to stick with it.  I'm going to finish.  Really, I'm going to finish it....oh goodness, I hope I finish it....

little by little block, I'm making progress, right?

I'm stocking up on chocolate for endurance (hey, quilting can't be my only vice).

Hugs and Stitches!
