No longer pending

I spent some time recently finishing up a few unfinished projects.

The fabric on the outside came from fabric sample books McKell gave me. It doesn't have a home yet.

I have a dream

For a baby boy quilt.

This is the beginning.

When I need to sew

I will work on this...

It is another quilt made of scraps, free form, and amazing.

Blankety Blanket

My give away stash is in good shape now.  This blankety blanket went to live with the brother in law.

It's kind of manly right?

Dear Teacher

You were so super this year, my Mom made you something...

Love, Grasshopper and family.

P.S.  She (the one I call mome), really loves sewing and is one with the fabric when she makes bags.  We hope you remember us fondly on your trips to the library (or wherever you go with the bag).

School bags

I'd rather be premature and get going on teacher gifts.  But while I was busy assembling some of those, Grasshopper sweetly asked for one for herself to be ready that evening for use the following day.

She chose two colors.

And so the wish came true.

The school bag was ready for school the next day.

Blanketie Blanket

One more small quilt assembled on the fly (my favorite way to do it) and color coordinated the same way.

I decided to keep it for myself.

Back on track

I finally found the right color yarn to finish this one...

Pouches galore

These pretties were ready to be sewn.  

I like cutting my projects and then finish them when I have time.
