We are supposed to be going to a wedding in a half hour but I'm not sure we are going to make it. Hubs is at the doctor with Bela...
She has an ear infection so she's on antibiotics and now it blossomed into some sort of mouth thing so she's at the doctor getting stronger antibiotics.
And I'm tired - helped all morning with our local AYSO registration.
But I did do a bit of sewing yesterday - well, a lot actually!
First I got this lovely charm pack in the mail on Thursday from the lovely folks over at Windham Fabrics.
I had gotten two charm packs of Echo a while back too but wasn't sure what to make with them so I just held on to them and waited. And I'm glad I did.
They blend together seamlessly and I had a quilt top in no time.
I just made big nine patch blocks and then auditioned two different sashing fabrics.
The grey was a clear winner and I pieced the back with the remaining grey I had, a Kona solid, the leftover charm squares plus a Summersville print and AH Heath in grey.
I also worked on Ashley's blocks/quilt for the Traveling Quilt bee.
John and Ashley had already made some blocks so I decided to put them all together and add a few fabrics here and there along with a few blocks as well.
I love it so far - can't wait to see how it grows and changes on the rest of its journey.
Speaking of Traveling Quilts - did you SEE my amazing ruler that Elizabeth made?? Oh my gosh - I am SO excited about that quilt!
And I'm still sewing away for the craft fair.
Made a couple more totes:
and am now working on some cute pencil cases using this tutorial from A Spoonful of Sugar (whenever I go their website, I start singing the Mary Poppins song - lol!)
OK have a great weekend everyone...did I mention this lovely bundle arrived in the mail?
