A Small Baby Gift

My husbands cousin is pregnant and we found out recently and like any great quilter I knew I needed to make something cute. And I needed a few supplies for my Amy Butler's Weekender bag (which is my feburary goal). I found this adorable fabric from Adornit the Nesting Owls. I was instantly in love and bought it before I'd even found a pattern. Then I hit Moda Bake shop and found an an equally adorable pattern with pinwheels! Seriously how have I Never made a pin wheel! I was in sewing heaven making those! So fun and so cute! I've also done some fussy cutting on the back (another first!) 

Now to finish a bit more quilting and then binding and it would be one of my cutest creations!

A Progress Update

I am working on my Scrappy Tripalong still!! It is coming along amazingly! 

Piecing on my bed which was the only place I had enough room!

All together lying on my living room floor!

The back! One giant block with a top and bottom piece. 

Basting with the help from my bestest buddy! 

I have started to quilt. And I bought a new sewing machine!!! I love Haducky the Janome!! He is amazing!! 

I'll try to post more pictures soon!! My phone keeps complaining about being too full for more pictures! 

Progress

I've actually been getting a lot of crafting done the last few days. I have decided that I am going to restart my English Paper Piecing quilt. My other one was a bit of a pain because my original template wore out and so I was trying to get a new one of the same size. Plus I was hand cutting them all out which lead to numerous errors along the way. I'll just my completed hexies for other projects. 

So I did get two of those flowers competed. 

This one reminds me of my two nieces who recently picked the last few remaining strawberries off the plants at my parents house. 

And I have one more done but I'm going to hoard it until one flower Wednesday. 

Last night I also did some work on my Scrappy Tripalong quilt 

Hoping that this now gives me some much needed motivation to keep working. 

See you all soon 

Oh My Goodness! It's ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY!!

I was saving my flowers for today!! And then I almost missed it!!! 

So with a little bit of explanation... I bought a Fiskar's Hexagon Puncher!! It's amazing!!! LOVE IT! So I've got them going.... 

Yup!!! That's three and it's 

Days until I get married!!!

Today's Objectives

Today I would like to get a back sewn for my disappearing nine patch blanket. And I would like to get it sandwiched too. And I would like to get started on my Santa's Scrappy Trip Along! 

I also have a 6 mile run to do... A little treadmill time! Hopefully it goes better than my last couple treadmill runs... Stupid treadmill 👹😡👹😡

Updates: 

Cross of run! It was a wee bit slower than I wanted but I'll take it! 

Projects projects projects

I've been super busy the last couple days. I've been a little lazy with the working out but I have done some running and some stairs and I have been walking at least thirty minutes every day. Back again tomorrow to try to do the 30 minutes of intense working out tomorrow. 

Tomorrow I am going to do a quilt back for the high river quilt. I've been meaning to do it the last couple days but I haven't gotten there because I've been carpet cleaning and trying to rearrange a new sewing area. My last one has been taken over by a TV with the great living room shuffle of 2013. 

Currently I'm waiting for my printer to give me the Scrappy Trip Along instructions. I'm super far behind in the project I know. Most people were blogging this quilt a year ago. But my sister made one and I LOVE hers. And every time I see it I think about stealing it. So I've decided that I am going to make one... But mine is going to be christmas and winter fabrics. My jelly rolls arrived this morning! So I'm calling it Santa's Scrappy Trip Along! 

Back To The Blog

Now that summer is coming to an end I have a feeling I'll be back at the blogging! I've had a couple really great busy successful days! 

Yesterday I started my Disappearing Nine Patch quilt. I got all my nine patches sewn together and then I got them cut into quarters. I forgot to take photos because my phone was dead and my iPad was playing music. 

I also did 108 flights of stairs. Which means that I can walk up to the chapel in the stratosphere where I am getting married in about 5 weeks! (Holy crap time goes by sooo fast) I also ordered my necklace and earrings for my wedding day! WIN! 

Today was another super busy day. I went out to coffee this morning with *LB* and then home to clean the carpet in my bedroom and the hallway and the top two stairs and the landing! I then sewed the quilt top. I'm a super fan of the quick and fun disappearing nine patch!

 Then I ran for 36 minutes on my treadmill. I've started to try to do at least 30 minutes of activity a day. Day 2 a success! 

Now off to plan something for dinner! I promise I'll get some better pictures of my quilt top up soon!!

Ps! For everyone whose been following you know I have a love for the dodgers and they have clinched the western division!
