Design Wall Monday - Skorca!

I see a light at the end of the Skorca! tunnel!

Including the side that doesn't fit on the design wall, I have 24 more blue sections to piece. I'm about halfway through piecing the elements for that.

And then 22 red squares.

And then assembly!

Fleece Friday - Mustache Pig

Things I will not be putting on my resume: can sew pig snout straight.

Still from the tutorial at Obsessively Stitching. I photocopied it at 72% reduction (legal to letter setting) to get a slightly smaller pig.

 This guy is more the "right size" according to the Dude.

Because evil egg-stealing pigs are a certain size. Of course.

WiP/FMC - Stomach Bug (Redux)

I just...hate stomach bugs. That is all. I'm going to bleach my house and take a nap now.

Sew Starry is still my Fifteen Minute Challenge - poor thing! I thought I'd be done by now, but the quilting is taking longer than I thought.

{It's dark and dreary and rainy today. Sorry about the pictures.}

All the sides are done and I'm slowly cross-hatching the star. I quilted fifteen minutes every day except Saturday (Pinewood Derby) and Tuesday (stomach bug.)

 Big Blue is finished and off to the quilter's!

Life in Pieces' Fifteen Minute Challenge

Valentine's Day Bunting

Happy Valentine's Day!
We had a snow day yesterday, so the Dude and I used the time to do some Valentine's crafts.

A couple of weeks ago, I got the leftover scraps from the kids' sewing class at my LQS - the polka dots from Deb Strain's Always & Forever. There was fusible web on the back, and I thought about peeling it off to salvage the fabrics.

But then this was on Moda Bake Shop. And peeling fusible web off is really, really hard.

My hearts are 4.5" and backed in muslin scraps, because that's what I had.

And my mantel is a little less boring.

Remember when there was colored Rice Krispies for holidays? I swear I'm not crazy... Anyway, I set out to recreate that.
Sprinkles are not effective.
I was smart enough to add them at the very last minute, but they still got messy and somewhat melty.
Still pretty festive, though!

I also pressed a heart into the Dude lunch sandwich with a cookie cutter, and I'm going to lunch with my husband. He has to work late, so the Dude will be my dinner date. I'm happy to get special time with both my boys!

Design Wall Monday - Skorca! (Yes, Still.)

SNOW DAY!

Which leads to design wall pictures like this.

He's having fun hunting out his favorite fabrics.

I did some paper piecing on Friday, so there's a good bit more red up there. It's starting to look close to finished!

But first, I have to go build a snowman. And make Valentines for school tomorrow. And eat the Rice Krispie treats we made. I love snow days!

Sunday Stash Report - Week 7

A couple great finishes this week!

First, Big Blue got finished - at least, the top did, and I don't have to think about it until it's back from the quilter's.

Since it was a commissioned quilt, I didn't count the fabric in until it was done. Which, had I known it would have taken me until 2012, I totally would have counted it back in 2011.

Of the 15.5 yards ordered, there's two yards left of the white floral for pillowcases, just enough of the dark blue for pillowcase trim, and no Kona. Plus I used 2/3rds of a yard of last week's Kona purchase.

I also got this month's Saturday Sampler blocks.

And we have a Pinewood Derby winner!
The design is his, as is the paint/sticker scheme. (I tried to tell him green and red/white/blue doesn't go, and got a "Mooooooom, this is MY car.")
At the weigh-in, he was exactly two quarters short of five ounces, so Mom bought him the win. :D

Go green!
