I did do some sewing, though.
I actually started this last night... had just hand sewing of the binding around the 'pocket' to do tonight. It's for my oldest daughter for her birthday later this month - she's going to Israel in September and I know she doesn't carry a purse - thought this would work to carry a few things ( it hangs around the neck). It's a free pattern that Shabby Fabrics demos on youtube.
Before I got around to the hand stitching, I cut and added the remainder of the black and white cat fabric as a small border to the Pineapple Blossom quilt top.... sounds easy peasy, right? Well, almost....first I had to trim off that one block that just didn't want to 'play well with the others'...
Then I was able to add the borders...
but this happened in the process....
just about an inch from the end of the seam and I'm out of bobbin thread. Oh well, it didn't take much to wind a new bobbin full of thread.
After that, I had an idea... I have two scrappy cat quilt patterns... I didn't check but I'm pretty sure that they are by the same designer..just one is for crib size and the other is larger.
A couple of days ago, I found out that the little neighbor girl is now a big sister. Hubby and Buddy came home to tell me that they got to see her.
Anyway, since I've been wanting to try the scrappy cat pattern, I now have a reason to.... new baby needs a new quilt. I grabbed a bunch of pink fabrics and then realized that I was going to need to go buy white fabric for the background ( I already have plans for the whites I have here)... then I thought, well, since I'm using 'scraps' for the cats themselves, why not go scrappy with the backgrounds and use the neutrals that I have.
Here's the first cat - minus the matching border that goes around it - I haven't added that yet.
Yesterday, while hubby was have his PET scan done, I managed to get some work done on the Vintage Tin block. No pics... maybe next time I work on it, I'll take some.
I also haven't taken pics of the two finished charity quilts... the weather was nice today, but I didn't feel like getting dressed to go outside to take the pics. I have to get dressed tomorrow so will take the pics then IF the weather co-operates.
OH I almost forgot... I also made my daughter a fabric postcard for her birthday. My first time trying this... I think it came out ok...
ok that's it for tonight.... I'm going to sit back and 'chill' until bedtime ( which is about 1/2 hr. away)...
