I'm Home Again!

 Did you know I was gone? :-) 

LOL, I didn't tell but a few. I went to a winter retreat with my sewing/machine embroidery/quilting friends.  We are a small group, but full of fun and inspiration! Unfortunately, the design wall was so busy I didn't get pix of things before they were taken down again! Next time I will be faster! I do have one quilt top I need to convert and then I can show it.

I worked on these 'Shop In Style Tote Bags' from Pineapple Fabrics.

 

They used this fun Grace pack.  Keep your eyes on their site because they have a lot of sales~ better yet, sign up for the emails so you don't miss anything! ;-)

I did a little extra quilting on both bags and I really like how they turned out. I think the large one may go with me to Expo in March. ;-) 

I also got quite a bit done on a machine embroidery project, but it is a test design, so you will have to wait for that one. 

What is keeping you busy?

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

I'm Not Blue! I'm Happy!!

 

Happy, that is, to have you visit me today!

Hello and welcome to my day on the Shades of Blue Blog Hop!!

Do you decorate with blue in January?  

I do!  It is so fun to put up another color when all the Christmas comes down~

I made 2 things for this hop.

First, this machine embroidered wall hanging. I used an ombre blue fabric to cut the part behind each snowman. 

Aren't they just the happiest fellows? 
The design came from Designs By Juju HERE
 
Next, we have a little half table in our entry and I like to make 'smalls' for it.  This Kathleen Tracy Shoo Fly Sew Along was perfect timing for me to make this little runner~ 


It says 'Let It Snow' on the fabric. :-)  I used bits from stash so have no idea where the fabric came from but it was just enough. whew!
 
I had so much fun making these items, I hope you enjoyed them too.  Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of today's bloggers have made~

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
