Goodies in the mail and a finished quilt

Today was a great mail day! I love getting boxes from my main fabric source, it's kind of like Christmas morning when I unpack it!


Todays package contained a mix of fabrics, I've got some Alexander Henry, Michael Miller, Robert Kaufman, Timeless Treasures and there's even a Riley Blake bloom and grow bundle in here. It also contained 3 Janelle Wind patterns that were part of my birthday gift from hubby, I can barely wait to make them up!!

I just love this giraffe fabric..it has to be one of my all time favorite prints.


I'm still not finished cleaning up the rest of the house from my great studio reorganization and cleaning, so my self restriction from my sewing machine continues. I am however, still allowing myself hand sewing time in the evenings while Hubby and I are watching TV. Last night I put the final stitches in the binding on this baby quilt. The fabrics are mostly Riley BLake's Wheels line with a couple pieces from my stash thrown in here and there.

The quilt is part of a gift set I'd been working on before I started cleaning, You can also see the matching burps in the picture. I still have a patchwork bib and possibly a couple more items to add to the set before I can list it.




Also in the finished category is this little patriotic table topper,


I actually finished this last month, but I completely flaked on getting pictures taken and it's been just sitting in a HL bag with the additional prints I purchased to make a quilt.


Ok, Now I simply must get some cleaning done so that I may sew!!

Well what do you know? I got to sew some this week!

No finish on the baby quilt yet, but I was able to get a couple of Back Sacks made. I only have a picture of the one, As my youngest absconded with his Simpsons fabric one as soon as it was finished. So here's my Teen or adult version of the back sacks:

And for those of you waiting for the Picture frame results, they are coming..I just need to get the pics taken. Oh! I also can't wait to show you all the Dresser transformation Hubby and I did together! I'll be linking up to Amy's Blog for Show and Tell Fridays..you really should take a few minutes to check out the other amazing projects!

Still not a lot getting accomplished in the sewing department here, but my house is getting organized so I'm not complaining (Ok, so maybe I feel like whinging about it, but I'll get over it LOL)!

My Mom also got a personalized basket, and I also put together a quick and easy runner to match the basket and other items I've been making for her bedroom decor.Both baskets were filled with other small gifts to fit each Mom's tastes.

The only other sewing for this past week beside mending was this little pillow..It was gifted to the Boys' RAP instructor for her Baby that is due soon
