Monday Mayhem

Welcome to Monday!

 

Today is mayhem here on the blog.  I have lots to get done this week and I am starting full force this morning.  I was busy yesterday doing lots of sewing.  I did my charity blocks for our guild, and I have some Secret Santa gifts in the works.  I am going to be working hard today!  Here is a peek of the tote bag I am working on for my sister.  This is one of several projects in the works!

 

 

Off to make a valiant effort on knocking out some projects today!

Let me know what you are currently working on!

 

Have a great Monday!

Sewing Saturday!

Happy Saturday!

 

It is Sewing Saturday!  Whew!  I have got a lot to do!  I just made a list of current projects I have to do....most by the end of November!  I really need to kick it in gear!  As I made my list, it kept getting longer and longer.  A few projects are for swaps, some are gifts and some are for customers.  I am categorizing them by dates and importance at this point.  Luckily, some are very small projects, so I should be able to knock them out quickly!  I am starting today by doing the two charity blocks for our modern guild.  We are doing improv blocks for this quilt, as the last one turned out so well with all the improv.  We are using Aqua, Orange, Yellow and Gray as our colors for this quilt.  I am using solids, but we can add a print if we want.  So, this is my first project to knock out today.  Then, I am on to several others!  We will see how much I get done!

 

If you are sewing today, let me know what you are working on!

 

Hope you have a Super Spectacular Sewing Saturday!

Potato Chip Charity Quilt

It's Tuesday!!!

Today, I am going to show you a charity quilt I made for my sister's church this past spring.  Last year, I made a baby quilt and this year, I decided to make a throw quilt.  I wanted to stick with an easy pattern, so I decided to do a Potato Chip Quilt.  This is a very simple pattern and I had some beautiful, pastel, floral fabric to make this quilt with.  The name of this quilt is "Springtime Blossoms" and it helped raise money for a children's charity in Omaha, Nebraska.

I wanted to show you several views of the quilt and quilting.  I did straight line quilting around the squares and then I did a diamond square in the middle of each square to give it a little contrast.  This quilt went together very quickly and is one I will make again!

Have a great day!
