MAKE-IT-MONDAY

It feels like Spring, finally.  So I picked out a project I've been wanting to make and some springy fabric.

  Happy fabric just makes sewing easier don't you think?

FINISHED-ON-FRIDAY (Wk 17)

Here are my house blocks.  I made a few extra for good measure.  I have two dogs, so you know that meant that there had to be dogs in the block.   I have a poochon  and a mini schnauzer.  Poodle fabric is everywhere; not so much schnauzer fabric.  But, since I like all dogs, any doggie in the window works for me.

 

And a little closer:

 

 

The houses didn't have to be wonky.  However, most of the girls are making wonky houses.  I call mine wacky-wonky house blocks.  I can't wait to get all 18 together and come up with a wonky-good quilt.  Hope you have a good weekend planned and

Quilt happy,

I wasn't going to be home this week.  However, my plans fell through and this container of fabric was going with me for this week's project.  I am still going ahead with my plans and I am even going to tell you what I will be making.

I am in a house block swap.  The swap has you making 18 house blocks that represent you in some way.  I have plans for getting them all done by Finished-on-Friday.  Fingers crossed.  Now to get started.

I was going to make each placemat with a different fabric pocket and binding.  I had a lot of green; but, as you can see it really doesn't have enough contrast.  And, most of the red I had was orange red.  So, I broke my rule and bought that great red fabric. 

 

Good news is the recipient likes both the green and the red.  So I am sending all of them.  Have a good weekend and

Still deciding on which fabrics to use with the main fabric. 

Better decide soon.  My week is jam packed.  Have a good week and

FINISHED-ON-FRIDAY (WK 15)

I found this cute shopping organizer at "2 Little Hooligans" blog over here.  I think it will be perfect for lists or note taking and packing those coupons and maybe your reward cards.

 

 

I had a bunch of these 5 x 8 note pads so I decided to just enlarge it to fit.  I also had to swap out the polka dot I had first selected for another to get a decent contrast.  Luckily, I have a polka dot collection.  Wishing you a good weekend and

I bought this hand dyed fabric last year at Long Beach Quilt Festival. At least I think I did. And, I found the perfect little project using the ½ yard plus a little extra fabric from my stash.

I hope you have a good week and

FINISHED ON FRIDAY (WEEK 14)

I can think of a few uses for these little cases -- perhaps a few business cards. Or maybe attach it to your key chain with a few dollars and your driver’s license when you don’t want to take your purse. I found the pattern in “100 Pretty Little Projects” by Lark Crafts. My daughter went through the book the last time she was here and marked it “I love this”.

I wonder which one she wants. I’m keeping this one.

Have a good weekend and

Quilt happy,

This fabric and the swivel rings are for a cute little item my daughter requested.  If I have time, I may sew a few of them. 

 

Hope you have a fun week planned.
