More sewing

I'm still having a blast with my sewing machine! I just can't stop. I did get the Downy Quilts for Kids quilt done. It's so cute. I hope it gives comfort to a sick child.

Might have to make another one in the future. It was a fun project.

I found the cutest pattern for making notebook covers! I made one over the weekend. I don't really like how the patchwork turned out but I love the cover. I have another one cut out. I've learned from my mistakes and the patchwork should be much better on the next one.

It even has an inside pocket for pencils and things!

That was also a fun project.

The new block pattern came out this week for the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along. I got mine done.

That's four blocks so far.

And I'm itching to start a new quilt. I found a really cute pattern at the Moda Bakeshop. The charm square pack I ordered from an etsy seller to make it with came in the mail today.

Isn't that fabric cute! I can't wait to get started. It's for a quilt called Candy Hearts Quilt. I'm going to cut the hearts out tonight.

I refuse to shovel today

Snow, snow, snow. Every day it's been snowing. Every day I've been shoveling. But not today. So far. I'd rather be inside sewing.

I did get one more pair of jammies done. Last pair for a while. I FINALLY made it through all my jammie fabric stash. I love this fabric!

So comfy!

I wanted to make my son some throw pillows for his new couch. So I got busy at the sewing machine and came up with these.

I think he'll like them. I used a bag of fabric scraps I bought. Yeah, I actually bought a bag of scraps. Like I don't have enough of my own around here.

I signed up for a jelly roll quilt along. I'm excited! Every other Monday we'll get the pattern for the newest block. I bought a jelly roll from an etsy shop. I can't wait until it gets here so I can start my quilt. If you don't know what a jelly roll is, it's a whole bunch of 2 1/2 inch x 40 inch fabric strips that come all rolled together in a package. That will save time on some of the cutting. I also ordered a pattern for a Schnibbles quilt. Funny word. Schnibbles. It's a little quilt made out of little pieces. I'll be using a charm pack of fabric for that. So while I wait for these things to come in the mail, I'll be working on a totebag. Can't wait to get started on that!

Snow Day

Snow, snow, snow. Lots of snow came out of the sky between yesterday and today. Nope, didn't go to work. And I have a stupid cold, so I stayed home and have been lazy all day. Except for the shoveling part. Ughhhhhh. No energy to sew today, so I'll show you what I've made.

First off, remember that quilted fabric I showed you a while ago? This is what it became. A bag.

I love it! It's very roomy! It was fun to make.

And another bag. This one a totebag.

I just love that fabric! Can you tell I love bags? I love making them. Can't make enough of them. I have fabrics and patterns to make more.

I bought most of those fabrics when I went to see my daughter this past weekend. Just couldn't help myself. Now I have to quit buying fabrics. Let's see how long that lasts, lol! I have a lot of fabrics, but then I see more that I like . . . and it just happens.

I also made this bird pincushion.

A fun little sewing project. But I don't really like making stuffed things. I don't like the stuffing part. He did turn out cute, and I like him. So that's what I've been up to.
