There Has Been Sewing

I have been sewing!  Here and there.  On this and that.

I'm happy to not be on any deadlines. Sewing for myself, with fabrics that I love.

In fact I recently succumbed to the IG peer pressure of the Snippets QA

Sure it took me months to hunt these charms packs down, but why shouldn't a crack them open and sew them up!  Right?  Everyone else was doing it.  I'm glad I did, but I will tell you after I had taken them all out of their wrappers I did let out a shriek that had my hubby asking what happened.  

I got this week's blocks done.  They are fun.  Way less annoying than I had imagined.  Maybe because it's just four per week. 

I'm plugging away here and there on my April Showers quilt blocks.  I like this pace.

I do have a secret sewing finish to share! 

The online group I am apart of made a baby quilt for another impending bundle of joy.  (I think this is the twelfth group baby quilt and there are two others due this summer!  This group is FERTILE.  Actually between the eleven active mommas in the group we there are 24 kids!) Anyhow!  

I volunteered to assemble and finish this quilt and I just love it.  She wasn't planning to find out what she is having, so we planned low volume/ BLACK and then a mint sashing!  It's fantastic!  However when I had all but four blocks in my possession we found out she was having a boy!  So I made my low volume hedgehog light blue. 

I picked a Cotton and Steel low volume print for the backing and I just love how simple it is.  

A Fast Make

The Friday before we left for spring break these blocks arrived.

I was so excited and so deeply in love with them I just started right in sewing!

I had five days.

I totally banged it out!

I hit a jackpot at my LQS finding a bolt of this April Showers dot for the backing.

I am so happy I decided to try this block exchange.  

I was so nervous, but it was so fun to get these blocks and start playing with them! 

This quilt is well loved!  

It has been on the sofa since it was finished.  

All humans and animals love it up regularly.

I just finished a secret sewing project, and as soon as it is shipped and received I will share.  

Lots of Little Things

I've been MIA lately eh?  

Things took an interesting turn right after my last post.

I was getting ready for Hawaii and was antsy, so I started finishing up stuff.  

I finished the snowflake mini.

Whipped up a scrappy mug rug.

Finished up this Rose mini quilt.

Finished this I-spy.

And I whipped these travel pouches up for our trip.  

And I'll share the most exciting part soon.
