Hello Friends!

How's it goin' at your house? I've been crazy busy prepping for a craft day at my church. Making costumes... that aren't finished yet. Stressing cause I lost a PIF... then excited cause I finally found it! I'm late on those by the way, how can someone be late when they have 365 days? Good question, I'll think about it.

In the meantime, here's a little pillow set I made out of some Valori Wells, Moda dots, and a few other pieces I can't remember the names of. By the way this is my first truly wonky quilted piece. What do you think?


I love the little birdie pillow. That's Katie Hennagir Designs, Chirp! for Robert Kauffman So cute! And now, it belongs to Catania :) Happy Birthday!


I don't know about you but I'm off to go wipe some runny noses and calm the crying hordes! Happy Sewing!

Sew many distractions!

Summer is officially over according to the school calendar :) and I'm quite excited to be home with my 2 little people underfoot. I've done a little sewing recently, along with some roller coaster riding, anniversary celebrating (in-laws :) ), party planning, landscaping, phone shopping (haven't bought one yet), and preparing for school.
Sewing was by far my favorite.
(Roller coasters might be in the running too, shhh... )

I have a couple things I'm pretty excited about, first
-I'm finally making progress on my pif! I'm using every bit of my 365 days *blush*
-I did a great little embroidery for my in-laws for their anniversary! Along with 280 reasons we love them! It was their 40th anniversary so we did 40 reasons (or close to that amount :) ) we love them from each of the grandkids. They're all scrolled up behind a snap closing pocket on the back of the embroidery.
-And last this is a swap block I made a dozen of on the last day of summer!
They are a pattern of my own design. They had to go together quickly and I think I'm going to keep working on the pattern to fine tune it but I like the colors and design!
