Vintage Schnibbles~ Gentle Art

Thanks for playing along in my guessing game~ with the little peek I gave it would've been nearly impossible to guess, but y'all have given me some ideas for the next Vintage Schnibbles. ;-)  I have been doing the Schnibbles sew-alongs for as long as Sinta and Sherri have been hosting them, so I'm trying to be more creative with the patterns now~ I have more wall hangings than wall space! LOL  Or even season's in which to display them. ;-)

So this month I took my pattern and tried something different. I used Kati Cupcake's Got It Covered! pattern and with a few revisions to make it large enough to accommodate 3 inch blocks, I made myself a sewing machine cover. :-)  I down sized the Gentle Art blocks, and then made 2 rows of seven to make the large pocket in the front of the cover.  I made a couple of the small/medium covers as gifts last year, but never got around to making one for myself. I thought the spools would be perfect for my cover. :-)

Doesn't it look great on my red bench?  LOL

Gentle Art is Carrie @ Miss Rosie's Quilt Co pattern from Spring 2007.   I am really looking forward to the parades that Sinta and Sherri will host on June first to see all the ways others have used the pattern. I love spool blocks~ and how perfect for your sewing room! ;-)  Make sure you stop by and see the parade!

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

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!
