More Snow, More Fabric
I've done it! I've made a quilt patch. It is not bang on perfect but you know I'm just learning.
Clarabel is presently using it to wrap presents as we play birthday. Which really means she just wraps up toys and brings them to me and I say "Oh! That's just what I've always wanted." Then I do my best to encourage her to put the toy back where it belongs. Sometimes I am successful, sometimes not.
I am aiming to have Wednesday as sewing day, yesterday it worked out great and I got a lot done. Definitely not a fan of cutting out patterns. It's kinda fiddely.
While I sew, Clarabel enjoys playing fabric store.
Fun game. I was mostly unsuccessful at encouraging fabric store manager to fold up her wares and pack them away.
Major snow last night. Ken shoveled out before bed and then again this morning.
Birds are fed though!

I think that quilt block is beautiful! I love the colors and the patterns. When my husband and I were engaged, we agreed to give each other handmade wedding gifts. I decided to make a wedding ring quilt. The fact that I did not own a sewing machine and did not know how to quilt seemed minor concerns. I didn't have a pattern, so I used the top of a large tupperware container to draw a circle on cardboard to use as a template and then just kind of made it up as I went. I pieced and quilted the whole thing by hand--and quickly decided it would be a wall-hanging, rather than a large quilt for the bed!
Love the fabric store. How was the Sally Melville meet!
Lol, I love the 'playing birthday', too cute! That quilt will be really cool, great color and pattern!
Can't wait!
Your patchwork looks great! Don't give up. I just recently learned that sewing isn't really sewing. It's mostly cutting, pinning, and measuring. I spend more time doing that than I do at the actual sewing machine!
Your daughter is adorable playing fabric store. My daughter is only one, but she loves to run around with fabric on her head. She's a hoot!
Your patchwork looks great! I love the fabric store. Too cute!

such a great thing to keep her busy while you sew.
your sewing looks fantastic!!!
The quilt looks great. I love going to the fabric store-maybe I will visit yours one day.
Your quilt block looks really good. Nice neat meeting seams. I really miss quilting now that I see what your doing.
Yeah, it's the putting it away part that always gets them, isn't it.
Happy sewing to you. Love the patchwork!
Love the quilt block.
Great fabrics!
I always remember one time I sewed through the night...way back when I could pull all nighters and sew and still keep up with kids all day.
I had been sewing all night. Nothing had got done...toys all over...dishes in sink and fabric pieces here and there and everywhere.
Hubby's aunt and uncle and gran showed up at my door at 9 am. I actually had a moment of, "I could pretend I am not home". I did answer the door and let them into my all night sewing frenzied world.
I remember saying to them...okay okay it is a little messy around here but look I finished my jacket....lol It was a nice jacket too.
Hubby's aunt said something like....don't worry, did you forget that I have raised four kids. lol
