A Small Project Started

As I said in yesterday's post, 

I haven't done much sewing at all lately.

I was kind of restless this 
evening & really wanted to sew.

I have a ton of projects...but what to work on?

I started a small one. 
One that wasn't really on my list.

Needed that feeling of accomplishment, I guess.

I pulled out my Kashmir III charm pack, 

cut the charms in half and,

in about 2 hours, had this done.

Measures about 30 x 37 inches.

It won't take long to baste/quilt/bind.

hmmmm...it looks vaguely familiar to me.

ohyeah!  It resembles this one...

Here's the story.

In early summer of 2009,

Brenis and I each bought a charm pack

of Kashmir III (the same fabric I later bought

a fat quarter bundle of, which I

recently used for Carole's quilt).

Brenis and I were going to make

each other a small quilt.

She made that one up there for me.

I surprised her by not using the Kashmir III charms.

Instead, and because she had been raving about

red & white wonky log cabin quilts, 

I made this one for her.

Yup, that is quilted with red thread.

Pretty daring of me only 7 months into quilting,

don't you think?

I feel better, now.

Ya know, for having used my sewing machine.

And, Naomi Janome is happy.  {grin}

Oh.  I found some more rug hooking books.

Well, I didn't actually find them.

They were sitting right there on the shelf.

Not sure why I didn't see them last weekend.

I'll be listing them on my selling blog tomorrow.

I need to work on organizing my woolens, too.

Hope you have a great weekend!
