Monday Makings

In a bit of a panic the holiday mood, I did some baking and sewing today....

here is a peek at my work bench kitchen table...

Not so bad?  Not so fast - here it is from a different angle....

wonder where we are eating tonight?

I am making some needle books for my nieces....hope they aren't reading this....

the tutorial is from nanacompany.  If you haven't visited her site she has some very sweet things.

The embroidery transfers are Jenny Hart...

A little stitching and a little patchwork....

Some felt pages for pins, needles, buttons, etc....

  

Do you think of more to make just as the day draws near???

Happy Monday!

Sweet Pup!

Well, between having tires repaired, oil changes, and getting ready to visit my mom for a couple of days....there has been a little sewing at our house. 

  

Molly has been working on a gift for her former Spanish advisor.  Her advisor is from Chile and LOVES chihuahua's....So Molly embroidered this adorable tea towel using a Jenny Hart design... 

Now I know the reason for the yo-yo making lesson!!!

She added some bling to make this one fetching pup!!!

I have been searching for the next fun project...I have plenty of "have-to-do" projects....and I have a few Gonna Make That Someday quilts on my list....

 I have also decided to just try out a few single blocks just for the fun of it....this one is called Road To Fortune...

I played with some of the solids and paper piecing....I like the block but not something I want for an entire quilt....

I began working on another block that I am in LOVE with...but it is only half finished so I will show you later this week.  I will only take some hand quilting with me when I go to my mom's house.  So stayed tuned....  

Hope your week is going well.....

Busy Little Elves....

The blocks are trimmed, sewn together, and borders added.....

The quilt will need to be basted, quilted and bound before the middle of next week...I think this one will be machine quilted due to the time crunch...

It has been fun putting this together...I had the "inside" scoop on mom's fabric choice for the nursery...so, hopefully, this will be a fun addition!!!

Molly has been busy embroidering and embellishing towels for her cousins....lovely as usual....she used Jenny Hart designs....so cute!!!

Today, Flanders and I will be driving over the river and through the woods to pick up grandma....Flanders is so excited!!!  She loves riding in the car and LOVES fetching grandma!!!  Woof!!!

Merry Christmas to All!!!

Cheers :)
