I'm alive! and back from my trip to Iceland! I'll make a proper post in the General section soon! Right now I just wanted to say a quick "HI" and show the teeny tiny hexagons I've been making for block 36 of the Splendid Sampler

I've been grinding through assembling the Sweet Tooth blocks. I am almost there. One more seam to do in the middle, then I need to decide whether or not to add a border.

24 hours from now we head to the airport... we've packed, a bit, but my sewing machine and everything is all put up. Next time I have a chance to check in, I'll probably be stateside and sipping a cup of coffee while fighting the Jet Lag.... I'm so excited that I finished all of the blocks for my niece's quilt before we head home. THanks for all of the moral support, I'll check in with you when I'm back on the ground in Atlanta, keep sewing, I want to see lots of quilts when we get the internet re-established!!

I got the backing pieced together for a UFO.. curved log cabin. Got tired of looking at everything laying out in the sewing area. Now to get the borders pieced and sewn to the top. It's gonna be a double bed size- hopefully. I'm trying to use up all the fabric I got for this pattern.

I find a pattern I like. start looking and buying fabric. takes me around 6 months to get to the cutting and making stage. When I get it finished, I've found I went overboard on buying "matching fabric"... so I have lots of left over's.... So instead of buying a whole new backing fabric, I try to use up all that fabric I "had to have". Hoping I won't have a lot of scraps left.

I bet no one has ever did this "over looking and buying" part!! LOL.

Morning everyone.
I decided earlier this week that it was "Finish It" week. I have about 12 WIPs that have been in that state for many months and this was the week to finally get them done. It's Friday already and I have only completed 3 - one bed runer, quilted and bound; one large tablerunner, quilted and bound; one wallhanging, bordered, quilted and bound. Now I have to attack the bigger WIPs - three large tablecloths, three queen-size quilts, and several small appliqued wallhangings. I think I was overly optimistic about how much I could get done, but I do feel like I have made a dent in the pile. I have soooo many other projects that I want to start but I must, I must, I must finish at least three more before I touch the rotary cutter!
Have a great day everyone...and do something to make you smile.

Put binding on another quilt (from the pile of 16) that is four done. Didn't feel like doing another one yet so, I cut up a layer cake and made blocks for a double slice quilt. Going to bed now, but when I get up back to binding.

I am getting ready for another craft fair. I played around yesterday with making chocolate peanut brittle. It turned out ok, but I want to try and improve it. I just finished a baby quilt that I started hand quilting. This is more fun than on the sewing machine, but takes so much longer. Today in we are experiencing 98 degree weather and so I am spending my afternoons sewing. Good excuse anyway.

Stay cool everyone and happy sewing.
