Sunday Stash

A few weekends ago, I went on a Quilt Safari with my quilt guild. It was fun to visit shops that I had never been to. I had a shopping list and I did well at checking things off the list.





My LQS had run out of a fabric that I thought would work well as a background fabric. I also bought some fabric to make pyjamas with my daughter, and some fabric that I am thinking of for borders or backing.




One of the stores had a scrap bag of reds, and I have a couple of quilts that I am be collecting reds for, so it was a great find. I also find some more fabric for my landscape quilt and then some cute odd and ends fat quarters.

It was a wonderful day with other quilters. The only problem was seeing their beautiful fabrics and projects that they were working on had me wanting to work on those projects too. I will just have to enjoy them when they bring the completed projects to the Guild Meetings.

Socktober







I finally took the time to finish the socks that I had been working on over the summer. I only needed to use them. I then started on some socks for my husband.


 


Just like the shoemaker's children go barefoot I had never made socks for my husband. It is a nice project to have for the fall and I hope to have them done by Christmas.

Friday Night Sew In - Microwave Bowl




My sister asked me to make a microwave bowl for one of her friends and so I decided to do it on the Friday Night Sew In. I got the fabric on a quilting trip I took two weeks ago with my quilt guild. My sister told me that the woman had a young son and when I saw this cute fabric quarter I knew it would be perfect. I tried out a new stitch on my new sewing machine and it worked really well. Now, back to all the projects, I need to finish.

Flora and Fauna




I finished the baby quilt for my friend last week. I decided to call it Flora and Fauna. It was a quilt kit that I got on sale. I had originally bought it thinking my daughter might like to make it but then decided that it would be perfect for my friend. It was quick and easy to do. I have quite a few left over half square triangles and hope to make something with them. Baby quilts are my favourite quilts to make.
