Started my mom's quilt.

I started making the blocks for my mom's quilt. She likes strips and dots. So that is what I'm using. She also said she like all colors. It won't be on the white, the sashing will be black. I just put them on the white so you could see them better. Not sure how big it's going to be yet, but it looks like it might be the biggest quilt that I have to( or going to have to ) quilt yet.

portabellopixie bag

Just wanted to show you my new bag. I finished it Saturday. I used the ' Portabellopixie' market bags pattern. Don't you just love my owl fabric. I fell in love with it when I first saw it. The was my first time doing piping too, and it wasn't too bad.

My new Kitchen art.

Today in the mail I received my new wall decal for my kitchen. I got it from this etsy shop, called 'Freckled Hound'. I hung it on my kitchen wall and it looks so cute. I hate to cook...have I ever told you that.

Last night we had our 'North Pole' block class at the shop. I worked on my reindeer barn, but didn't get to far on it. I did get a tree done. :o) I haven't worked on this quilt in awhile because I have been embroidering my butt off. I love doing both applique and embroidery, but have come to released that embroidery is much more relaxing.
Don't get me wrong, applique is fun too, but the needle is sharper and it's a little harder to do. I prick my finger more with applique. Ok.... I am babbling now. Have a great day sewing.

Chubby Chicks are done.

I ended up leaving the last boarder off. It was just too big for me. I would have had a hard time quilting it. And it wouldn't of be fun. It has to be fun to do or I won't finish it. Anyway.... it's done. Quilted and bond. I am waiting for hubby to hang it on my wall for me. It will hang in my living room. I just love how it turned out.

UFO's

Sewing Log: January 18, 2009: So many unfinished projects going on . It is driving me a little crazy. There are so many things I want to make and I hate to start new projects if I don't have the ones I have already started finished.

Here is the 'Flower' Quilt top. WIP. I still have lots of stitching to do on it. This is what I will probably be working on at Sit and Stitch Tuesday evening.

This is another BOM, but I am not sure if I am doing the whole thing. I just really liked this stitchery so I decided to do this one and just see what the next few months looked like. This block in not yet done, can ya tell? Another WIP.
Another Swap in progress. This black/ white / and red triangles are for my siggy swap. But they are no where near done.
I've got lots of sewing to do.

PS. check you the cool new logo in my sidebar: "Blogging Amy's". It is a list of Amy s that blog. :o)

Quilting

I started quilting my Chubby Chicks.

Dilbert

Today I did a little embroidery on my 'Flower' quilt. It's coming along slowly but I am enjoying it. Embroidery is relaxing to me.

And here is Dilbert. I finished him up today. The pattern for Dilbert is by Melly & Me.

Here is more of a side view of him. This Dilbert is a 'shop' sample, but now that my kids have seen him they both want me to make them one.
I think I may go take a nap now, for some reason I am awfully tired.

PS. ' The Shop', Quilting Adventures sells both of these patterns. :o)
