Sew in Weekend with the Guild Gals

Ok, now I can reveal what I made for some of my quilting friends in the guild....



Binding kits with matching/coordinating notebooks for their purses.  I also included a pkg of instant hot chocolate in the pocket on the right side of the binding kits.  Everyone seemed to love them.    

I spent today simply cutting out the pieces that I had put fusible ( Heat n Bond) onto and then pressing the shapes onto the background squares for the Gingerbread Boy quilt that I decided I was going to work on this weekend.  Six of the twelve were already done ( applique and all), so I was glad of that.  Then I got to the last block and realized that I was short some eyes and mouths... not a big deal; I'll trace and fuse them tonight so that they'll be ready to fuse onto the block tomorrow... THEN I can start the appliqueing.  :)  YAY!

After lunch, I went over to both of the LQSs to see if either had some Gingerbread boy print fabrics that I could use for the borders for this quilt... neither one had any.  I decided that I'll just wait until the top is ready and then I'll take it with me to see what I want for the borders.  Margaret did mention that she has a couple of yards of a gingerbread man/boy print and will bring it to the sew in tomorrow - maybe that's what I can use; we'll see.

Ok, dinner's almost ready....

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
