It's A Sewing Party!

I'm ready for some FUN! :-)  That's my word, and as soon as I brush the cobwebs off of my sewing machine~yes, its been that long! :-/ ~ I plan to have a little fun!

Kelly and Kris are the hostesses for this Sewing Party and you can read all the details on Kelly's blog.

I plan to turn this pile of cut squares and rectangles into blocks today. :-) They are components to the Piece and Goodwill quilt I blogged about last year. Yes, I know I was supposed to be using them as leaders/enders but they were 'put in a safe spot' when we moved and they just showed up! :-o Yikes.  Do you do that? Please say yes! :-))

I'll be back to show you my progress~ Let's have some FUN! :-)

Spring Sewing Party~ part 3

Ok, now I 'get' it! I think I was supposed to just keep adding to my first post about the party~ whoops... well it has been the day for those! ;-) I generally have problems with blogger after 3 photo's in the same post~ does that happen to anyone else? Sorry Kelly & Joan~ next time I will get it right! Third time is a charm, right? :-) Here is the list of all my sewing sisters today. :-)

After the fiasco of the unwanted thread in the sewing machine today, I did get the tension issues resolved and got on with the fun part. :-) But it was pretty slow sewing.

I have 2 long rows together and now I am on the down side of the quilt. The next row is the top corner row, and the other rows will get smaller as I go. I am going to start with the bottom right corner and go from there now.

I sure enjoyed the party and I know I would not have sewn at all today if not for Kelly & Joan setting up the party. Thanks ladies!!

that's all for today~ laundry is calling. :-/

Until next time!
Happy stitching!

Spring Sewing Party Day~

I'm here! But I think by not turning the computer on last night I may have missed the party. :-/ I was gone on a 'stash enhancement expedition' all day yesterday. :-) (thanks Carrie for that new name! but I am not going to spell it out on my blog) LOL :-)) To see all the great projects out in blogland, see the list of party-goers on Kelly's blog. ;-)

Today I hope to get a few rows on my Vintage Sheet Quilt. It is slow going as I am making the pattern up as I go along. Well, not the pattern exactly, but where I am adding the extra sashings. ;-) I couldn't figure out any easy way to do it other than measuring, measuring, measuring. :-) So off I go with my longest ruler and a bunch of fabric strips!

Hope y'all have a great day!

Here is my final post today~ Sorry Kelly, it was a comedy of errors for me today! :-)

Tomorrow will be another great day to sew! :-)))

Until then, happy stitching!
