Sewing, Finally!!

I still have quite a bit  more  straightening up to do and boxes to open down in the basement, but just needed to take a few days off!!

I am storing some things under my HQ Sweet 16 machine table, so I made a gathered skirt and velcroed it onto the bottom recessed edge.

It hides all the stuff stored under there and looks so much better!

The “Quilt It” banner still has not been found…sigh…

I’m thinking I need some sort of small colorful valance over the top of my new white wood blinds in there…

But, I selected the two charm packs to make the August Schnibble and spent a few hours cutting the pieces, and even assembled one basket block!

Yogi seemed very happy to be back up on my sewing table!!

He gets such good sleep to the vibrations of my sewing machine…

  4. So glad you are back to sewing. Moving is always stressful, and especially when you can't find things in the new digs.

    Yogi probably figures all is right with his world again when he can nap while you sew.

  6. Ahh, some "semblance" of order is back - Yogi sleeping and you sewing - what a happy time for you both. Definitely love that table skirt and valances would dash up the windows a tad bit. Loving all your pictures of the new home. Judy C in NC

    Love the cover you have on the Sweet 16. Did you just make up a pattern or have info to share? I really need one!

  9. Can certainly tell Yogi is "at home" and comfy in the new surroundings! Your room is looking great and I like the new schnibble you're working on. You'll find the banner -- eventually!

  10. I've been watching your new house become a home and have enjoyed all the photos and musings tremendously. It reminded me of the home we built 17 years ago and how much we loved it then, and still do, although it could use some updating at this time. Also happy to see how easily Yogi has settled in....he's so darn cute. Enjoy your time off to do what you really enjoy, because the work will always be there.
