Just a Little Bit...

I haven't been able to spend much time with Naomi Janome.  

However, I did manage to get a few little things done.

Here's the quick story on these two projects...

While packing up to move, 

I came across some leftover blocks

and pieces that I had planned to use up.

So.  

That's what I did.

I used them up.

I had five 5" squares and the brown polka-dotted fabric.
Plenty to make this 16" pillow cover for Jill.

I had these blocks and the striped fabric for binding left,
so I made an 18" mini quilt.

It's fun to make little things.

Doll clothes and a t-shirt quilt are coming up soon!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". Jeremiah 29:11

What Kept Me From Going Crazy!

I am so thankful that I have

something that keeps me busy!

Here are a few sneak peeks

of what I did over my 4 day

weekend with no computer.

Not yet time to write a proper post.

Perhaps tomorrow.

Gobble! Gobble!

Finally!
After 8 days of no sewing, Naomi Janome

and I spent a lovely 70 minutes together!

Here is a sneak peek at what got done...

36 lovely squares of the Gobble Gobble

fabric collection by Sandy Gervais.

Aren't these colors absolutely gorgeous?

I won the Gobble Gobble charm pack 

in a giveaway a year ago.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it,

so set it aside and promptly forgot about it.

While straightening and sorting yesterday,

I saw it and decided that I could quickly

put a table topper together with it.

(I am thinking I could give it to me mum...

her birthday is in 8 days.)

Got all the charms laid out to my satisfaction

last night before going to bed.

Got up this a.m. and sewed them together.

Naomi Janome and I were humming!

Laundry is about all I have going on today...

perhaps I'll get more sewing done.

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Something to Smile About...

I've been trying to keep busy. I quilted two kitty blankets for my sister, Julie. Here's a sneak peek. They make me smile. Need to square/trim these & sew the binding on them.




I got a package in today's mail! I won a giveaway on Monday from Shelly of Polkadot's Circus ...a charm pack of Gobble Gobble by Sandy Gervais! YAY! Fidget, her adorable little pup, picked my number! How fun is that!!!


First...take a look at the presentation...the orange wrapping paper, the orange plaid ribbon, the scissors pin!
And, here's the opened package and card. How fun that Shelly found a card with 'gobble! gobble!' on it...the name of the fabric collection. I smiled really big when I saw that!

Thank you so very much, Shelly!!
