Slow Going Some Days

                                           Christmas  Lag?

                                           A  desk  clock  like  an  old  Singer!!       

                                                                  
 
Sometimes  it's  so easy to sew and  plan projects...thats  me  most of the  time...the  last few  days  have  been  rough- pick this  up and  put it  down ...pick that  up and  put it  down...rough- maybe  I am just having a  hard time or maybe I need  to start a  new  different project that  I have  been  looking  at ....sewers  block - yep I have  it.
 
Merry  Christmas
Maybe  a few yards  of  Asian fabric from Deb Sews  might  help my "sewers block"

Reading & Sewing on a cold day

                                        Reading  & Sewing


                                                              
Reading a  good  sewing  book - have  had this  book  for  so long -I need  to get going  on some  of the  great projects -good instructions and  patterns and  templates.
 
 
 

Selvage  Purse/Bag

 
 
Save  your  selvages  for  some  great projects - really neat looking  bags !!
You paid  for it -use it all!!!
 
 
Travel Tissue Holders-
Friends  keep asking  for  more tissue holders -
they  are  easy to make ,just takes  a while  sometimes  to get bck to making  them, didn't  make any Christmas  ones  I see...
 
 
 
 
 
"Chicken" or triangle purse- made  like  the  chickens  I was making  a  few  months  ago - funny shape  huh? Just  takes a  scrap of material or 2  five inch  squares.
 
Merry Christmas

Rainbow Quilts

Rainbow Quilts

 
Have  started  a  rainbow baby  quilt - it's  always  slow  going  for me,and I have another  baby quilt  to finish - I  find  I like  to go from one  thing  to another and  that  way I don't get bored...I like  the  colors on this  one and 
 it's a jelly roll  from the "Fat Quarter Shop"....
You  can  find the  instructions and  the  number  of strips  you need here
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 

Pink & Green  Strips for  other  projects....I make  lots  of  strips and  do a  lot  with them....I  really like table runners,table toppers & mug rugs.
