The Results Are In!!!

A couple weeks ago I blogged about a survey that was being taken to collect data on craft bloggers.  Well the results are in and they are pretty inpressive.  As of the end of July there were 483 bloggers responding.  Go check it out here to see for yourself.  She is leaving the survey open through the end of 2011 and maybe longer depending on the activity of the survey.

Until next time,

Nothing much going on

Well I know its been several days since I posted but I haven't been doing much sewing lately.  I did finish a domestic machine quilting class that I started before my daughter's wedding on June 4 this week so I did have the machine running.  Hoping to get some sewing done this coming week as long nothing unforeseen happens!!

Hope everyone else has had a good week sewing and hope you get some sewing done this coming week.

Until next time,

Another Dress

Well I've done it again!! I made another dress, from the same pattern as the last one, but different sleeves.  This one was for my niece that is 2 for her birthday.

She is such a little girly girl and I knew this would be perfect for her.  Can't wait until I get to see her in it.

I'm linked up at Sew Darn Crafty.

Until next time,

Goodwill find!!!

Stopped at Goodwill recently looking for clothes but ended up in the back of the store where the household items are and found several large bags of material, yarn, and misc crafting supplies.  Noticed a couple things in each bag that I know covered the price of the whole bag so I bought all 3 (less than $15 total), when I got them home and started inspecting them I found enough pre-cut 5" square of cotton material to make at least 2 queen size quilt tops, not necessarily my colors but ones I can put together and give to the Red Cross quilt group to finish and give out.  Then in the same bag were several diamond cut blocks that I'm going to try making into a Lone Star quilt top, don't really remember right off hand what colors the material is but worth using to see if I want to spend the money to make one of my own.  In another bag found a pre-quilted panel for a baby quilt will probably put a border on it and save it for a new baby that I know is coming soon.  The bag with the craft supplies had a little of everything in it, includeing a plastic frame and loops for the pot holders I used to make as a child, not to mention purse hardware, sewing patterns, and so much more that I can't remember it all.

As I finish projects with all these new treasure's I'll post pictures!!!

Until next time,

Red & White Block Swap

I'm so excited, I received my package with all the wonderful red and white squares of fabric today!!! Karen at Sew Many Ways started this swap June 6, 2011, and we had to send 125 5" squares of red and white fabric but in turn we get 125 5" squares back of a variety of fabric.  Still all red and white and I'm so excited I got mine in the mail today!!!!  

Now for the big question????  

What to make with it, 

a red and white quilt top with the blocks as is???

quilt top with 1/2 square triangles???

cut them up into 4th's and make a new bag???

We'll have to see!!!

Until next time,

Jodi
