Working Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the countdown to Turkey Day has begun!  I have all the fixins for dinner...turkey, 10lbs of potatoes(I will make at least 5lbs of mashed potatoes, because I have have a 19 year old mashed potato freak-LOL), gravy, broccoli, cranberry sauce, sourdough rolls and pumpkin pie!  I am just feeding the three of us, but when you have a college student who loves to eat, you have to fix a lot!  I don't fix anything ahead of time, but I might make the pumpkin pie today.  I am ready...let's do this!

 

I am going to be working on Christmas cards today for my sister to finish those up and then get some sewing done.  I realized yesterday, I have a few things I need to take care of quickly to get done before the end of the month!

 

What are you doing today?  Are you crafting, sewing, cooking or just relaxing before the big day?

 

30 Days of Thanks~Day 21

Today I am thankful for having all my grocery shopping done and being able to relax before I start cooking tomorrow!  It is nice not to have to run to the grocery store for any last minute things.

 

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

I hope your day is starting well!  It's Wednesday and I am getting ready to work up a storm, if this headache will go away!  LOL  I have many things to get done today, so it will be work, work, work!  These are pieces to one of those projects!  Can't wait to show you when it's finished!

Today, I am thankful that the election is over and there will be no more negative political ads. 

I hope our government will find a way to work together to help America.

Happy Halloween!!!!

 

Today is Working Wednesday!  I have taken it easy the past few days to catch up on some little things after returning from the retreat!  I will share more about that later this week!  I have several projects in the works right now and I am going to sew today, so I will have plenty to share this week!

Hang there to see some updated on projects and some new ones!   

A couple of my pumpkins on the porch!  Not sure if I will carve them or not!

 

Hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Happy Wednesday to All!

 

I hope your day is starting out well!  I have several WIPs going right now.  I just finished two mug rug last night and started a little Halloween Trick or Treat tote for my nephew.  I am going to finish it later today.  Then, I have to start on a new some other projects.  I am trying to prioritize them, so I can knock some out quickly.  This morning, I am going to a fabulous little fabric store that is near the mountains.  She always has some great stuff at great prices.  I can't wait to see what she has today!  For now, I will leave you with a picture of some cute little penguin fabric I picked up the other day! 

 

Isn't it just adorable!  I am not sure what I am going to use it for, but I knew I had to have it!

 

Hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday!

I hope you day is going well!  What's on your sewing agenda today?  For me, this morning I helped my friend Bobbie, to learn how to make Wonky Stars.  She had been admiring my table runner and several other things that I had done with wonky stars.  She thought they were so hard to make, but now she has done it!  She picked some gorgeous fabric for it!  She is making this block the middle block for the start of our local modern guild round robin.  It is such a happy, wonky star!

I just love it!  Here it is: 

 

 

Next on the agenda is working on a tote bag for my sister.  I am making it out of the butterfly/bird fabric I bought not too long ago.  I will take pics of the progress and show you sometime this week!

 

Hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday!

It's Wednesday!

 

Today is Working Wednesday!  It is time for me to get it in gear!  I have not done anything over the past few days, as far as sewing goes!  Got to quilt my table runner today and get it done.  It has been on my list to do this past week, but sadly, I have not been able to get to it.  I have had many things to do and have not been sewing, so I am ready!

 

Here is another unfinished project to work on at some point.  This is a modern quilt I started earlier in the year.  This is only part of it, but the good news is that the top is put together and it is partially quilted.  LOL  Got to get it finished soon!

 

 

Have a great day!

Happy Wednesday!

 

Today has started out as a great day!  I walked three miles on the greenway and go some fresh air in this cooler weather.  Now, it is time for Working Wednesday.  I have several projects in progress right now.  I am working on some Christmas cards for my sister, so that is the first order of business today.  I started on them last week and I am going to work on them for awhile this morning. 

 

Then, I am going to work on basting and quilting the table runner.  I have both the front and back pieced now and it is close to being finished.  Here's a sneak peek of the front and back:

 

 

Hope you like it!  Let me know what you think! 

I will keep you updated on it's progress over the next few days!

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!
