Happy 30th Birthday, Sis!

Happy BIG 3-0!

Glad you like your present. Now I can finally blog about it!!

This mini quilt (14x14 inches) was made by participating in Cherri's Little Bouquet Quilt Along. I've never completed an art quilt before. I made a few attempts when I first started quilting, but didn't have enough techniques or the internet then. (Do you remember those times!?)

I really enjoyed quilting this once I started. It's not completely free motion because I kept my feed dogs up. I just couldn't 'release the hounds'! Not yet:) I loved adding the lace and buttons.

But enough about my fun! Wish my sister Happy Birthday today. (I think I may have spoiled her - oh well!)

Enjoy your sewing friends,
Sarah Vee

It's Still Monday, Right!?!

It's still Monday, right!?!

There's not much new UP around here.
I quickly put this Lady of the Lake block together this morning. I have to be more diligent at prepping my half square triangles. At least now I have two more blocks ready when I have the chance. So let's keep this one rolling! I'm hoping to get these final 16 blocks done before Christmas. It would be great to start putting them together in sets of 4 too!

I have been embellishing my September stockings for Pat Sloan's and Emilie Richard's Season of Grace BOM. There's one more. I'm trying to get these done early. Right now they are my only bit of handwork that I can take downstairs to do while watching TV. I'm hoping to get some more handwork ready....but that means more NEW projects!!

This was an extra stocking I made last month. I sent it to my sister as one of her "30 for 30" gifts.

Yes, not much tangible to show for my quilting time this weekend. I started cutting background blocks for appliques. On TWO new projects. I have to, must, strongly desire to finish up some things around here! But not getting much machine time. So I'm cutting and prepping other things. Hopefully some finished projects to show....soon.

Enjoy your sewing time,
