We Can Build A Snowman

And even though he is a potholder he won’t melt!  The wonders of insul-bright! Now that I have 2 down, I still have one to go! Next is the ginger bread man. I’m not sure if I’ll have time to get to that one tonight since I have a few other pressing projects. I really want to take a nap, but sewing comes first! Wish me luck!

The Penguin Is Finished

This pot holder is just to die for! (Is it pot holder, or potholder?) It is three layers, and you insert your hand into it. It works great! To test potholders to make sure the work well, I put my iron on high and grab it with the pot holder. If it gets hot right away, I know I need more insul-bright. Next one to be tackled is the snowman!

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!

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!
