Unspectacular Finish

My new job has taken up a lot of my time, but I managed to do DH a favour and complete one of the fluffy cushion covers he asked for:

There was no fluffy fabric to be found anywhere until DH saw this fluffy blanket at The Warehouse. I should have taken the felt-like backing off, it cost me a fair bit of nerve and two needles because it was too thick! Anyway, it's done and on the sofa :-)

Happy Sewing!

Here we go.......

Hi everyone!  getting a late start on UFOs this month.  My brother go married this month. sooooooo, at least the quilt for them was an UFO.  I think I posted that one last month.  

anyway,  first off is a pillowcase.  a happy birthday pillowcase.  I have 5 children and 20 grands.  my goals a couple of years ago was to make a birthday box for each of them.  One box for each family.  a lap quilt, and table runner, a pillowcase, and a banner.  sigh.... bought the fabric, got almost everything cut out and ready to sew, then for whatever reason stopped.... sigh......  LOL...  so 1st of 7 pillowcases done.  I plan on sewing the rest of those babies this week.  I have several opportunities to sew this week.  the serger is out and ready to go.  I am set!  

 The fabric was bought at Joann's several years ago. and was my inspiration.  

Next is my monthly small wall hanging.  I have all the embroideries ready to sew and most of the borders cut.  

 

Love being able to change things out.  it just makes me smile.  

I figure I used about 1 2/3 yards stash.  nothing bought!  yeah!!!  

thanks.....  hugs....

English Paper Pieced Balls

Around four years ago I joined an I Spy charm swap. I had tons of charms to use and made a few different things. One of the things I started was these  balls. I made a few and gave them away at baby showers and used them for stocking stuffers. I love working with hexagons/pentagons. While I was going through my fabric stash I came across three balls that were sewn together but never stuffed.  I fixed that problem.

Now to get the binding added to the two quilts I finally finished.

Apprentices finish UFOs

Although these next 2 finishes arent counted in my UFO tally, I thought I would share them nonetheless, as they are  using my UFO orphan blocks.

My 2 young apprentices did their first sewing today.  They found some stray 4 patch squares that I have had floating around in my UFO collection for some years. I also had a practice machine embroidered piece.  My 2 young Grandies, aged 7 and 5 collected up all the bits they could find, as they wanted to make quilts for their Teddy Bears.

Charlies has 4 x 4 patches, 2 squares and the embroidery piece, while Kai's is made up of 6 x 4 patches.  They then sewed on the borders, and a backing.  They look rather pleased with their work.
