Fun Friday!

It's Friday!!

 

Time to have some fun!  I have finally been able to get back to sewing!  Last night I made a mug rug for a gift and I will post it soon.  It has to go to it's recipient first!  Then, I was able to get the binding on a quilt and that will be posted soon!

 

Today has started off with a great walk of three miles on a greenway and I am going to be working on my table runner.  I am so excited to finally get this started.  I will take pics and update you on it's progress.  It's going to be fun!

 

As summer is about to officially end soon, I was thinking about our beach trip and all the fun we had.  I took this picture of all the colorful beach umbrellas and it's just a fun and happy reminder of why I love the beach!  Such bright and colorful fun...It makes me happy!

 

Have a Fantastic Friday!!

Thankful Thursday!

It's Thankful Thursday!

I hope you are having a great day!

Today, I am thankful for leftover scraps of fabric! 

These blocks are for a charity quilt our guild is doing.  We just turned them in and I will be putting together all the blocks with sashing before sending it to be quilted.  The colors for this quilt are grays, blues and greens in solid fabric and we could do any inprov 12 1/2" block.  I recently made a pillow using these solids along with a print and had plenty of the Kona solids left.  So, I whipped out two blocks.  I love these colors.  They are Kona Grass, Kona Marine and Kona Medium Gray.  I love when I have big scraps of fabric that I can use for other projects!  It's always so fun to see what you can come up with!  I can't wait to see all the blocks put together. 

I will definitely post as soon as it is done!

Working Wednesday

It's Wednesday!

 

I hope your day has started out well!

 

I have been busy working on a huge handmade card order this past couple of weeks and now the order is on it's way to it's new home!  Here are the four main cards I did for my client:

 

Thank You...Blank inside

Note of Appreciation--Blank inside

Happy Birthday--Relax, Have a Beautiful Day

Wishing you a Happy Birthday!--Relax

 

These cards are made with dry embossed backgrounds and heat embossed lettering on the inside and outside!  I also sent her some miscellaneous cards that I will post later this week!

Becky and her staff will take great care of you!

 

Now, I am starting on some Christmas cards and I will be working on some sewing projects this week also!  I have missed my sewing, so it is time to get back at it!

 

Don't forget to check out the Modern Quilt Guild Blog for the QuiltCon Block Challenge post today!  It's Day 9 and there are some pretty awesome blocks on there and there is so much inspiration. 

 I know I would love to make a quilt with every one of the blocks featured so far,

because they are all so awesome!

 

Hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday!

 

Tuesday Talk

Happy Tuesday!

 

Today is another great start to the week!  I worked really hard over the weekend, but I did get to watch a little football and Nascar!  Go Vols and Roll Tide!  Yes, I live in TN and I am a Volunteer fan, but I do like Alabama and of course, the SEC.  Anyway, I am finishing some orders today, so it will be another busy, busy day!

 

I wanted to share my third and final block from the QuiltCon Block Challenge.  It is being featured, along with many other wonderful blocks, over on the Modern Quilt Guild Blog today.  I really enjoyed making this block and I may think about using this as a block in a future quilt!

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Monday Mayhem Labor Day

It's Labor Day and Monday Mayhem!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend!  It's hard to believe that this is the unofficial end to the summer.  Wow!  This has been a busy weekend.  I have been working to finish up my card order and I hope to get to sew later today.  I haven't sewn anything in about a week, so I am itching to get to work on some projects!  Here is a look at some fabric I picked out for a tote bag my sister has requested.  She loved the tote bag I made for my swap, so she said she wanted one.  The colors for the bag were to be brown, cream, yellow, red and green.  So, I happened to be out at Joann's the other day and came across this beautiful fabric.  The picture does not do it justice.  It is a little more golden in color and I had Kona solids in Chocolate, Espresso, Corn and Grass Green to pair with it.  this will be a project I do sometime very soon in the next few weeks!  :)



 

Let me know what you think of this fabric!

Have a Marvelous Monday and a safe Labor Day!

Sunday Sampling

Happy Sunday to you!

 

I hope your day has started out to be a peaceful one!

 

It's Labor Day weekend and I have been working hard on some projects.  My handmade card order is just about finished and will be out the door early this week.  As I finished it, I do have to start on an order of Christmas cards, but I am going to take a break for a day or two to work on my next sewing project, which is a Table Runner for the SewSwapIt group.  Below are the fabrics that I intend to incorporate into this project.  I just love the Pumpkin Fabric!  I have paired it with some different Kona solids.  I am not sure if I will use all of them, but we will see.  I think I have a design in mind, so I am ready to get started!

 

Let me know what you think of my choices!

Labor Day Weekend and Modern Blocks!

Happy Saturday!

 

Can you believe it is September 1st!  Wow!!  This year has flown by and I am not sure where the summer went, but it's Labor Day weekend...the unofficial end to summer!  Here in East TN, we will have warm weather for some time to come.  Hopefully soon, we will start to cool down a little, like we did in August and have some crisp, cool nights.  I love the fall!

 

Anyway, I am working on some things this weekend, like finishing my card order and then I might get into a little sewing.  I have a few projects that are on the table ready to get started and I can't wait!

 

Today is Day 6 of the Modern Quilt Guild's QuiltCon Block Challenge posts.  There are some amazing blocks, so stop by and check them out for some great inspiration!
