| 6 place mats / 4 hot pads-mug mats / 9 napkins ~ mission completed yesterday late afternoon xo |
 |
| very happy with the machine stitched to the front bindings xo |
 |
| the trick is definitely in the pressing xo |
 |
| so fun to use up my le jardin left overs and have a complete set of place mats / napkins that i will use a lot xo |
 |
| still completely sidetracked by this lovely pile of goodness xo |
 |
| even decided on some ticker tape napkins... |
 |
| just have 3 more bindings on the 6 placemats to go... |
 |
| and i have added some machine quilting to the center block ~ a definite improvement on the front |
 |
| and back xo |
 |
| loving it |
 |
| and then i made a few houses too ~ and i will be doing some hand quilting on these xo |
 |
| about time i hung this wonderful quilt that i WON in my sewing room more here |
 |
| i made a pocket label so that i keep the info and winning ticket tucked away special xo still pinching myself on this LUCKY WIN xo |
 |
| and it feels GOOD to be back at work xo |

| my first customer quilt of 2014 belongs to mary....she makes the sweetest baby quilts complete with the sweetest pieced backs...and she LOVES simple meander xo |
 |
| i have been busy adding to the stash ...i am drawn to low volume lately |
 |
| i have no self control when it comes to SOME fabric |
 |
| it all started with the riley blake eyeglasses... |
 |
| and then since i was in the fabric store i had a quick peek at the ribbons...and again no self control... |
 |
| and i finished piecing my table mats today... |
 |
| i think they look better in person... |
 |
| and i know improv is my all time favorite way to sew xo |
 |
| i have been completely sidetracked by this lovely project... |
 |
| i LOVE IMPROV |
 |
| i plan on making 8 place mats...i got some pretty pieced binding done |
 |
| and i prewashed the first one ... i am pleased with the look |
 |
| and i got another one completed xo |
 |
| and then these little hotpads/mugmats happened too since i will have quite a few of these little blocks left over... |
 |
| it will be a dining room FULL of french general love xo |
 |
| and i am still piecing a star A day .... soon this beauty shall be DONE XO |
 |
| i gathered all my french general left overs from my le jardin |
 |
| along with this french general linen / cotton that i have patiently saved .... |
 |
| the idea to make placemats has been there for awhile and my first practice one did not disappoint ...i love it...i still want to prewash and make sure that insul-bright for the batting is the right choice xo |
 |
i had a wonderful day yesterday....i sewed happily all day with kay...she made me a delicious lunch and this sweet little pincushion too xo i LOVE her sewing parlour xo  |
 |
| i made some progress on this ....ouch ~ it is a bit painful putting these 8 pointed star blocks together ... good news is that they are large 28" ~ and there is only 9 of them ...and i absolutely LOVE it xo |
 |
| also made a third tagmat easy tutorial here for my husband's boss ~ baby boy number three xo |
 |
| i love making these ...such an easy project |
 |
| and i am a ribbon lover xo |
 |
| i made a very simple baby quilt in two days using a mini charm pack ~ simple style by v and co. from moda |
 |
| i love how fast it came together with belly bop [perfectly named for a baby quilt] |
 |
| "seams" so right to use moda "surrounded by love" by deb strain for the binding xo |
 |
| love the pieced flannel back ~ lovemymommylovemydaddy is from joann's |
 |
| simple and sweet |
 |
| baby love love |
 |
| ruby joan is due on february 14 xoxo |
 |
| love pieced backs and using up leftover fabric pieces |
 |
| just a bit of handstitching and this sweet bundle will be ready for the baby shower on saturday xo |
 |
| all DONE xo |
 |
| love that last finished shot xo |
