Fabrics

After two days of rain the snow really reflects the light into my room.


And I found some t fabrics in my stash to make the test quilt.

Dusting?

No not housework dusting...



Weatherman said a light dusting of snow lasting about an hour. Think he got it wrong. Been snowing over 3 hours. Good news this is west Tennessee and it will probably be gone by noon.

Peewee Pjs

This is the pattern in the Sew It All magazine that I wanted to try.



I have a stack of Mason's old polos to repurpose. Pretty quick using the hem of the shirt for the hem of the pants. Switching to 3 threads in the serger and using wooly nylon thread in the upper and lower loopers give the seams a great stretch. Wish I had tried that earlier.
Snowing this morning. Good day to start the test double wedding ring quilt.

Minutes to Spare

I finished the puffy biscuit quilt with about 15 minutes to spare.


It is approximately 30 x 36 inches. 120 individual 3 inch puffs. I lost count but it is somewhere around 32 different fabrics.


Cotton, flannel, fleece, minky, fake fur, chenille, sequins, textured fleece, terry cloth, I am sure I am forgetting something else.

My decision has been made I am going to give it away during Sew Mama Sew giveaway day next week. The decision was pretty easy, it is so darn stinking cute I want to keep it. Which is exactly why I need to give it away.

My double wedding ring templates arrived this afternoon. I think I am going to make a three ring table runner to test them before I start cutting into the actual quilt fabric.

Second opinion.

If you wanted me to change anything about the quilt don't tell me. I have already sewn half of them together.



Mason is home from school early today. Finals start later in the week and a couple professors have canceled classes. I asked him what he thought about the quilt... his opinion... Interesting. Not sure if that is good or bad. Then he proceeded to poke at every biscuit trying to pop them like bubble wrap. Silly boy.

Sew Mama Sew has another giveaway day next week. Do you think I should give away the puffy quilt?

Opinions?

Was I right to pull these out of the quilt?


They didn't seem pink enough for me.


Here are the final 120 biscuits. Should I change anything before I start sewing them together?

Lazy Sunday

I had one lazy Sunday. Besides watching a whole season of Teen Mom 2 I did get a little grocery shipping done.


And look what I found in the check out line. Pretty neat magazine. Only their third issue. And there is one project calling my name that I am trying to ignore. Hate that crazy voice that tries to distract me.

Double wedding ring templates should arrive today. Gotta finish the puffy biscuit quilt before then. And maybe The project from the magazine. Wish me luck.

Can't count

Obviously I can't count very well.


Half of the biscuits are stuffed and sewn.


The other half have three sides sewn and ready to be stuffed.


Unfortunately I had some left over backing pieces. My count was off by 10. Need to pick through my fabrics and find more pinks.

Biscuits

I have wanted to make a biscuit/puffy quilt for quite some time.


1 done, 119 to go. Keeping myself entertained until the wedding ring omnigrid templates arrive.

Sweating It

These were originally crew neck sweatshirts. A little scissor action and seeing and they become cardigans.


I need to buy another 1/2 yard of pink fabric to finish the sleeves and add a pocket.


The burgundy one is finished. Hopefully these prototypes will be sent next week.
