This is a total work in progress since I still have to make it a bit more decorative, but I think this bib is just so cute! I want to make a few more to perfect it!

Working On A Birthday Present
I’ve had this quilt top for almost a year and now it is time to do something with it! It’s a birthday present for a friend of mine, and when it was just brown and blue it was a little too boring, so I added these diamonds to help make it pop, and to draw your eye to the center of the quit. What do you think of the applique? Does it make it pop?

My Modern Crazy Quilt Is Coming Together!
Here goes nothing! I’ve been randomly piecing this thing together all night. I’ve also been watching the Paradise on Netflix, so it was a long and interesting night. I hope everyone likes it! My class meets next Wednesday so I still need to do a little more work on it! Wish me luck!

Finsihed My Owl Potholders!
I did it! I actually finished them a couple of days ago, but I’ve been quite the busy fellow these days. I almost had the time to post them last night, but I ended up at a bonfire at a friend’s house. Here they are! Aren’t the cute!

Working On Some Cute Potholders!
So I’m teaching a class on ho to make these at work! I think are just some of the cutest potholders I’ve ever made! I cannot wait to show people how to make these at the class next Tuesday. I’ve always liked owls, so these are just too cute to pass up!

Back To The T-Shirt Quilt
I had to take a break from this quilt this week because I have just been swamped with work and other shenanigans! Today I sat down and cut out all of the blocks, and now I am adding sashing to them to make them all nice and framed. I was going to do all black and brown bordes, but a little bit of blu, red, and queen really spice things up and make it a bit more contemporary. What do you guys and gals think?

Planning Projects For Next Week
I’m planning out a few projects for next week. I think things go slightly better when I have a plan. Haha! So, here is what I am doing next. I’m making these adorable potholders for a class I am going to be teaching at the sewing center I work at! My favorite is the owl! I’m so excited! Christmas in July!

Finished My Open Weave Table Runner
I’m so happy with how it turned out! Next time I think I will use more Elmer’s glue to hold it in place. There was some slight distorting during the sewing process, so I think I’ll also add in some steam a seam to help hold things in place while sewing. I’m not sure if I’m doing to make matching place mats yet… We’ll see.

What’s Your Favortie Sewing Trick?
We all have them, we all have tips and tricks to help us sew. My number one trick is putting tape on my sewing machine to get perfect quarter inch seams. I just love it! It has worked for me on a multitude of sewing projects, and use it for almost every quilt I have ever done!
So what is your sewing secret?

Finished The Weaving, And Now Onto The Sewing
This is turning out so cute! I’m just so in love with it! I mean, it takes a while, but it is a nice project for a boring rainy day. I’m sure I could sew it faster if I stopped watching Twin Peaks, but that’s just not going to happen! I think this would be a really cute ideo for a throw quilt, but I’m trying to figure out a method to hold something that large in place while I sew… Hmmm…..
