I don't think that I can square up another square for a bit...
I finished up and squared up 52 blocks last night, now I just have to finish the next layer. I still haven't decided if I'm going to make it into a lap blanket or maybe a queen but right now I can't imagine making anymore blocks! Maybe I'll just make a border, hmmmmm...
Everyone meet...Kitty, Jem's new little sister =^..^=
She's very cute and she does sew pretty!
PS that HK fabric doesn't come with the machine...it's from my stash...
(yea, like I said, I've got issues!)
I'm not afraid to admit it, I am almost 30 years old and I have a BLANKIE.
Like me, Blankie is 30 years old...we have bearly been separated since first being brought togther :).
A year ago I discovered that my mother still had some of the ruffle she used to make him in her sewing box, since then, I have been on the seach for the same orange and white check fabric, I was hoping to make a sort-of reproduction/Blankie/pillow cover, 30 year old cotton that has been loved and washed doesn't hold up too well...and now he's about 1/8 the size he used to be. So a few months back I found the '70s orange and white check fabric at Osgoods (its probably been there since the '70's), this weekend I finally made him a proper coverlet...
He is about 9" X 7", an almost exact replication, I even layered and quilted it like my mother had,
I folded over the back to sort of make a pocket so he fits comfotably inside...
Now, I hope this helps him last another 30 or so years! :)
(Yea, I know, I have issues...hehehe)
Tissue anyone?
I finally used some of the fabric "I HAD to have" and Jem! She truly is outrageous, so smooth and fancy...I don't want to play favorites but...my new sewing machine is AWESOME, everything at a touch of a button, smooth sewing, and think that needle up/needle down is my new favorite-how did I ever live without it?
Ok so I have been obsessing...
I thought that the Belladia Travel Tissue Holder would be a cute, fun first project for Jem,until I couldn't find the damn Puffs To Go tissues that went into them! So, since I couldn't find them I've been obsessed with hunting them down...I found some this weekend at a CVS in NY! Thankfully, just in time for winter...speaking of winter, I finally put up the winter plastic wrap on my slider...
It's warmer in my apartment already! I still don't understand how this stuff works...it's like saranwrapping the window...hmmmm
(I also finally figured out how to insert a link into my posts, feeling very productive tonight, hehe)
Hello...
