Great pattern!  

Summer didn't go as exactly as we planned

I've been absent from my blog and from yours. I've been absent from my sewing room. Mainly I think I just haven't had any drive to complete anything. Or talk about sewing. Brady kicked summer off poorly by breaking his arm, 2 hours after the final bell of the year rang. It was a pretty severe break, and he fractured another bone as well. He had surgery, and an 8 inch rod seemed to straighten everything out. 

We still made the best of summer.  We had a nice trip to Chicago. We watched a lot of movies. He's still on total activity restrictions until January, most likely.  He has surgery again in late November. It's hard for a boy to be as careful as he has and watch all of his friends be active. 

Mug Rug

Sweet water Fabric. 

I. Love. This. Quilt.

Graduation present time...with Buddy getting the flu I wasn't sure I'd get this done in time but I did. I love the Amy Butler prints and the dragonfly quilting on it.

Sorry for the terrible picture. When you wait until the last minute to finish you don't have a lot of time to wait for the perfect light for your shot.  

Happy thoughts

Monkeying around with cards

Paper crafting.

I've been making some cards for upcoming weddings and graduations. I really like the neat fold of these cards. I took the ribbon off one so you can see it.

A start

Saturday Sewing

I loved that finished Lorax quilt. I decided to make a mini star quilt out of October Afternoon fabric. I went to reach for the white, but opted to use some linen I had. I like the results. My husband didn't care for the muted tones ... but I do. It isn't my normal.

Goodie bag toppers

I whipped up these cute, personalized goodie bag toppers the other day. I thought they turned out very cute!

Finally finished

Backing pieced. Quilted. Binding done. Ready to deliver. Love it. Finally.

Paper crafting

Well, I haven't had the sewing itch in sometime, but mom and I have been enjoying making cards. And, I did make some bookmarks for reading month fun. What projects are keeping you busy?

Lorax baby quilt- giant star

Working on this baby quilt. Used a quilt I pinned in Pinterest as my inspiration piece. I used 11 squares if fabric to start with. A quick and cute quilt top. I also pieced the backing. Happy holidays!

New Bag

I wanted to make my student teacher a bag. She leaves us this week, and we will miss her. She is a remarkable person. This bag turned out darling. It had a lot of fabric though...pretty thick, but very sturdy! Fabric: Amy Butler. Pattern: Penelope Ruffles by Izzy and Ivy.

Headbands for a good cause

I had today off work, so I worked on these headbands. I am donating them to a silent auction benefitting my friend's husband. He went from being this youthful 30ish man, who was quite fit and ran all the time to a man haunted with head pain, instability (uses a cane), and has recall problems. No one seems able to help him. He has been to many hospitsls. Now he has a trip lined up to Mayo. I hope they can help. I hope someone bids on these at the auction, too. Happy thanksgiving!

Baby quilt

Just working on this quilt top. Stay tuned. . .

A finished baby quilt

I finished this just in time for my friend's shower!

Getting ready for a baby shower!

My friend's shower is quickly approaching, so today I whipped up these burp clothes, quilted the quilt finally, and I'm still working on the binding.

That's it for the quilting show here. Fall sure is busy.

Taking Turns Blocks

I finished all of my taking turns blocks. I really like them!
