catching up

I've spent some time catching up

Front of the pants for J.

And the Backs!

Cute back of pants for a special Baby M

And the fronts!

And it's been 2 years in the making and now.....

Ryan has a stocking for Santa to fill!

and.....

So do I!!!!

I made Jason one last year for his first Christmas but Ryan and I have not had a stocking since we moved in together.   This year we do!

Girls Sewing

The girls and I each decided to pick out a 12 inch block and all of us would make the block in our own colors and eventually put them together in to our own personal quilt.  

Month #1

Card Trick

Month #2

Month #3

Month #4

Moth # 5

And look at them all together!

They are really coming together.  Now I just need to keep making more blocks to go with them in order to make a scrappy quilt.  

Autumn Splendor Shop Hop Weekend 2

Northwoods Quilting

Mom had a little too much fun picking out lots of fabric.  

Threads Galore.

Jason loves Threads Galore because they have toys that he can play with while Mom shops.

And the passport fully completed.  

Two intense busy weekends and we visited 7 shops and had some great family time.

I've been working on a quilt for a special little girl.  

My college room mate is having baby girl number 2!

So here is the start of the quilt I am making her.  

And once the borders are put on, it looks so much better!

Wishing I had more time in my sewing room

I got a new toy that helps to iron seems open

I tried it out and really seem to like it.  

And I have a project on my quilt wall...

It's been on the wall for ever now and hopefully soon I will get to working on it and getting it finished.   

Missing my sewing room

I have been missing my sewing room lately.  With the baby around I just don't seem to get much time in my sewing room to spend some time working on projects I have started or want to start.  

I finished laying out the remaining blocks for the shop hop quilt that I have been trying to work on now for 2 years.  

I have finally gotten all the blocks put together and now I need to take some time to lay it out and start sewing it together in rows.  

But for now, I still haven't had much time in the sewing room and I am hoping with February vacation coming up I am thinking maybe that would be a good time to get into my sewing room and send my little man to my mom's for a couple hours.
