Flying Times~

...or time flies! :-)  No, I'm not flying anywhere... yet. But the hands on the ol' clock sure seem to be flying around it!

 I can finally show you one of my  kinda secret projects. I made it for a birthday and now I know it has been received. :-)

This is kati cupcake's sewing machine cover. I made the medium size. It has pockets on the front and I liked it so much I actually used it on my machine for a few days! :-o (don't tell my friend!)  I was very tempted not to mail it off, but I did.  ;-) Now I need to make one for my machine~ it looks so lonely now without a cover! LOL

I've been working on the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along in the evenings. I said I wasn't going to start it until this fall... but.... :-/    First I cut out some vintage sheet squares.  Then I cut some flannel squares to put between the sheets because I thought they were rather thin feeling.  sigh Then  I thought... maybe I should crochet around one to see how it works. Then I did another, and another.... oh! I am weak!! :-o

After I had a few crocheted around, I thought.... I wonder how they will look together.....

I really couldn't help myself!!! :-o  Now I really have set it aside~ until I can get more squares prepped! :-) LOL  This is the most addictive little project!

I hope you've been still following the Bowls with Borders Blog hop. Today is day 11~ and there are more cute bowls out there!

Another Week Has Flown By!

How it happens is a mystery to me. :-) LOL

I have been sewing~ one project I can't show you~ yet.  It is going in the mail tomorrow. ;-)

But~ I have been having fun playing in my sheets! LOL  I have 8 blocks finished for the Great Granny Quilt Along. I am doing them in my vintage sheet collection and I just love how they are turning out. You can see all my seams because of the dark floor~ you won't when it is sandwiched and quilted. I am going to make 4 more blocks, so I have 12.

Since the sheets were out... :-/ and I couldn't resist! I also cut squares for the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along that Little Miss Shabby and friends are hostessing.  I said I wasn't joining another thing...but... ah... I found yarn on sale and already had the sheets... so....

sigh  I am weak.

I cut out my squares a little larger than the Crochet Along gals are doing, and I put a piece of flannel in between so the sheets wouldn't show through and to add a little more body. I need to stitch around these and then put them by my chair for blanket stitching. This is going to be a longer term project, but just right for nights when I have my tootsies in the air. ;-)

Hope you are finding a little sewing time this summer too!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!
