Monday Mumbles...

Halloween is a week away and I have done some sewing that reflects my favorite holiday celebration.  I took my Pumpkin Grins by Quilt In A Day and enlarged it to about 45" - - I'm working on the binding which will be a scalloped edging:

I think I need to resize the mouth a bit more, but he's good enough for us.

I also taught a class for the Braid Runner and one of my friends missed the class but wanted a runner for her kitchen table.  This was the first time I enlarge one of these runners (this is my MOST favorite pattern/gift).  I add 3 extra braids - the picture doesn't do it justice:

And I totally forgot to mail out my Let's Bee Together block swap (being it was my month to mail), so all 11 blocks are in the mail today and hopefully will come back to me looking like this:

It will be fun putting those together.  I've made up enough for about 12 more blocks.  This was a great way to use my stash for a new project.  Now if I can find time and more uses for my stash I would be happy!

Monday Morning.....

Still catching up on things and unpacking is almost complete!!  Yet, I found time this past weekend to do some sewing in my new studio.

From my guild we are doing a block swap, where the owner of the blocks prepares little fabric kits for us to make up.  I did two of these funky stars for her.  You can see the tutorial of this design here.

I also did another Let's Be Together Block, but will show it off later this week - and I finished my latest class sample for the Braid Table Runner.  I had fun doing this and this pattern is GREAT----completed it entirely in one afternoon, and hand binding in the evening watching tv!  It's a great gift!

I'm off to work and cruising by end of the week!

Current Block of the Months. . .

Ok, only one....the Stay At Home Round Robin, stage 4 done:

And found these blocks from my first swap with Ms. Betsy and finally just put them together....goes into the pile of "need to be quilted" --I ought to work on that pile :)

My day off and a lot of sewing will happen, several commission pieces to be worked on. 

Yep, this is a boring post....
