Grandma's comfort

I gave been real busy in my sewing room. I decided to make my grandmother a comfort quilt since she is in a lot of pain and going thru deciding if she will seek treatment for her condition or just live whatever life she has left. Anyhow , I wish I could be with her but I can't so I made her this quilt to surround her in love. Hopefully it helps just a little bit.

Spring Purse

I just finished my first purse. I learned a few things and the next will be more stable but here it is. I love the colors :)

My friend Brooke and I have also been talking about making spring/ summer purses. I picked up this pattern to make our purses.



I got awesome prices too. one pattern and 5.5 yards of quilt fabric for $50.00. I'll take that anyday. FYI the fabric for the disappearing four patch quilt is for a thank you quilt for my mom. I will give it to her at the rehersal dinner for our wedding to thank her for all her support all these years.

extension table

I have been sewing on and off but my big news this weekend was.... Josh and my friend Matt built me an extension table for my Bernia.







I also did some unexpected fabric shopping at Walmart. My Walmart had some fabric .75 to 1.50 a yard. I picked up 7 yards....

and then there were eight...

I got 4 more blocks finished today ....



Let's hope for a baker's dozen tomorrow :)

It's a start

Work has been tiring me out so I thought maybe I should not sew (what was I thinking?).Sewing is my therapy and relaxation.I cannot imagine not having that litte bit of solice. I decided to get started today on the Disappearing 9 patch quilt for my grandmother. I will need 24 blocks total. My goal is to ship it to her by April 20th for her birthday April 26th. If I sew 4 blocks a day I will have all my nines sewn by Monday then I can cut and resew amd be finished with the blocks next week. Here are my first 4 nine's ....

February Block of the Month

I managed to get some sewing in yesterday morning and this morning. I finished my February BOM. I don't normally like Civil war prints but this one is starting to grow on me. I think it is because I like the star pattern.



I am trying to decide what my next project should be. I am going to be making a disappearing nine patch quilt for grandma in pink , purple and black. Also, I want to make my mom a scrappy red, brown , pink quilt using moda " fliratation" charm pack. I have no more energy today so I think I'll wait until tomorrow to start anything new.
