Finally some finishes

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!  I am so thankful for all my family. Love you all.

Ok, I've gotten Malaya's  present done, but no picture. And Jonas, Brynnan and Jesse's done but no pictures. I can't give them away.

Here is a picture on the lap quilt I made for Grandma Peggy. (Surprise for her birthday, Don't give it away!)

I just decided to make this for her 80th birthday in Oct. So I was scrambling to find some fabric out of what I already had. It is hard to tell from the pictures but this is a royal blue and coordinating floral prints. I had found this block pattern on a blog and had just drawn it on a sticky note on my desk. I really wanted to try it so that is how this quilt came to be. The back is a minky fabric, which is so soft and lux. (kind of like soft fur) With the minky, the quilt did not need batting. Also she lives in Florida, the minky is heavy enough. I straight stitched it using my walking foot. Really simple, but it turned out great.

This is so Fun, Fun, Fun. More finishes after I get back from holiday.

The creative space!

I have been working hard on some projects, but haven't had a lot of pictures, so in the interim here are a few of my sewing space. It is in the corner of the family room between the computer and the TV.

It is really messy because there are so many projects going on. Can you see the sticky notes on the top of the bookcase (that I got at a garage sale for $5, btw)? Those are the lists of everything I have in progress. And I have many more in my head. The white felt hanging on the back wall is my design wall. I hang my blocks up to see how the look and to work on the arrangement and keep them in order.

 This is a stack of tops and bottoms that are waiting to be quilted. On Tuesday I had my first lesson on Sally. More on that later, waiting on pictures.

This is the start of my stash of fabric. Not a lot but it's growing.

And last but not least is a sneak peak of the quilt I made for Grandma Peggy for her 80th birthday. I actually finished it Monday night, but don't have a picture yet.

Enjoy Life.
