Summer is over!!!

THAT MEANS I CAN BUY FABRIC!!!!!

Summer was difficult. There were soooooooo  many things I wanted to buy.

I'm going to start slowly with a few things I need for backings and couple things I fell in love with.

y'all have a great Sunday.

halfway through September

And football is in full swing. My son's team is 3-0. My college team is 1-1. It's exciting and busy around here. Unfortunately, that means the sewing room gets neglected. I have managed to sneak in a couple hours here and there. The weather is rainy today so I might get something done today!

I'm not going to make a September list because there are enough August unfinished projects to keep me busy for a while. I'll just make some updates on the "big list". Also, my self-imposed fabric buying ban is almost up. Thank goodness. This has been way more difficult than I thought it would be.

Big List

1. Aprons
   
2. Bailey Most blocks pieced. Layout started
3. Kyle All decisions made. Top finished. Quilting this month
4. Swoon 3 blocks made, 6 to go.
5. Pillowcases 4 made.
6. Secret #1 Has to be done by Christmas.
7. Secret #2 Finalize design and fabrics this month.
8. Secret #3 Have fabrics. Need to pick a design.
9. Baby quilt #1 2 of 9 blocks complete
10. Baby quilt #2 All 16 blocks complete. Now to work on sashing. Having some issues with it.
11. Baby quilt #3 Top complete. Searching for proper backing fabric.
12. Arbor Lane Not sure if this is going to get worked on anytime soon.
13. Potholders for gifts
14. Pouches Because I'm now obsessed with making cute little pouches.
15. Socks Having some issues with the one on the loom. Leaving it alone for a bit.
16. Heather Step 1 of 3 blocks complete. I started piecing the rest as leader/ender blocks while working on the baby quilts. Working great so far.

Time to get in there and get started. Good sewing, good quilting, or whatever makes you happy!

Oh my stars, it's September!

August was crazy busy. I didn't post all month. Geez. I didn't get a ton of stuff done either.

August list

1. Apron need to decide on pattern and fabrics Done and delivered. She loved it. I forgot to take pictures
2. Swoon block I think the purple block this month Didn't happen
3. Pillowcases Boy fabrics this month Also didn't happen, so 4 this month
4. Kyle Baste and quilt by end of month Yeah, it's sitting on the table looking at me.
5. Bailey Finish all blocks and begin layout I laid all the blocks on the guest bed, pics below, only like 7 to finish.
6. Heather Finish step 1 of 3 blocks Done!
7. Baby quilt #1 Piece top Well, I made another block anyway
8. Baby quilt #3 choose design and fabrics So, this one just grabbed my heart and away I went. The top is pieced. Need to choose backing fabric.
9. Secret project #2 finalize design and fabrics Didn't even think about this one.
10. Pouch for swap Must do this week. Done. Delivered. Loved.

Of course, I did a few things not on the list!

My best friend had a birthday this month. I made her an awesome trippy apron (that I forgot to take pics of), some fuzzy socks, and a pouch. She found some cool laminated cotton in an owl print, so I made her a makeup bag.

and it's lined in the same fabric

thought of her the entire time I made this one so it had to go too.

Pouch for the AMQG swap

I forgot to take a pic of this completed, but I made this for our football booster club fundraiser silent auction
