Back in the Sewing Chair Again~

...and loving every minute!

I can't show you everything I sewed on today, but I can show you these cute pincushions. The December project for Another Year of Schnibbles was Carrie's pattern Morsel.
I love pincushions so this pattern was right up my alley! LOL
Unfortunately, I got so busy cutting and sewing I forgot to trim the center to the correct size before I sewed the ones with the printing together! :-o Uh oh. 
It was too late to even consider ripping~ and especially since I used tiny
stitches! 
Oh well, I still like them. :-)



Sinta and Sherri will be hosting the final parade soon. I hope you can stop by their blogs and see everyone's creations!

Until next time,
Happy Stitching!!

Tomorrow is 12-12-12

Are you doing anything special?  :-) 

Sorry I've been absent. Ugh I caught the creepy crud! It kept me couch-bound for half of last week! I was so bummed. No sewing. No computer time. Just sleeping and feeling puny.  :-( But last week is definitely better than this week! I have places to go! A birthday to celebrate! A graduation to celebrate! Goodies to make and packages to wrap! Do I sound crazy yet? *giggle*

December marked the end of the BOM I have been doing with the HGTV quilters. This was our December block~


And this is my top all together. :-)

 Well, blogger decided it looked better on its side. :-/ Sorry.  I think if you click on it, it will enlarge a bit.

 It is all done in my CW fabrics~ found lots of little bits that I could use up in this one. :-)  I drew out the pattern in EQ7. Then every month presented the 12 inch block and the smaller ones that went around it. My friend and fellow HGTV member, Karen, helped me post when I wasn't around and kept me sane most of the year~ thanks Karen!  It was a lot of fun~ and the HGTV ladies kept me on my toes too! LOL  It would have gone smoother if my computer hadn't decided to die in the spring and me not having saved my files! :-o But, I think it ended up even better after having to re-draw everything a second time. :-)

I already have a plan for a new BOM next year, and it will involve planning by the  HGTV ladies who join me. :-)  They all showed such talent this year in changing blocks to accommodate their fabrics, fabric choices etc that I am looking forward to being wowed next year! Of course, the year is going to be a mystery as everyone is choosing one design element and keeping it secret all year. LOL Next December will be the big reveal. :-)

I hope you are finding the time to get your Christmas shopping, sewing, baking etc finished~ and staying healthy!
Until next time~
Happy stitching!


B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
