Sunday Sewing

 

I had all intentions of starting the Christmas quilt kit but 

somehow I got side-tracked.  That's not hard to do when it

comes to sewing.  I also forgot I was on the list for fabric

from Jennifer this month and the package came in the mail

on Thursday.  In the package came two different collections

that should be showing up in quilt stores now.  Above is one panel 

from the collection called "Life's A Kick".   It's a busy collection and you'll

see what I mean when I post the finished projects.  The second collection

 is called "Noah's Story" which is a children's collection.  It has some

nice blender fabrics, one panel and one soft book panel.  I

doubt if I'll make the soft book but instead make it into a quilt.

Sitting on my floor were a pile of blocks I pulled for charity quilts.

Instead of putting them back when the new fabric arrived

I quickly made them up and put the binding on for the ladies who

like to hand sew it to the back.  While this step didn't save me 

a lot of time it did save me some time.

Two more for charity and the ladies who like to sew down the 

bindings to the back of the quilt.

This is fabric leftovers from the last batch Jennifer sent called

"Signs From Above".  While I can't send this picture to her

since I used a competitor's fabric for the background I can

sure post it here.

In the background is fabric I have pulled for small

Xmas stockings.  So far I've completed 252 for

Outreach and will still make more.  My guest room

closet is now called "Chris's Closet" since I'm holding

all the Xmas stockings, the 202 fleece kids scarves

and all those stuffed animals I made a few months back.

. . . . . .

Sunday's Sewing Project ... to finish sewing the

"Life's A Kick" fabric collection.  So far I have one quilt top

done, one almost done, and one small tote bag from

a simple pattern I found on Pinterest.  I'm hoping

to get a few placemats and napkins out of the leftovers.

Photo's to follow soon!
