Keeping Busy!

I made a fun sewing machine cover for my dear friend Suzanne as a birthday present!

She asked for bright fabrics, so bright fabrics she got!!

Both outside and inside!!  Really fun to make!!

Next, I pulled out a quilt kit I bought over a year ago from Connecting Threads.

I love this simple little quilt made of super easy half-square triangle blocks.

I think you could use just about any fabric and it would be such a dynamic quilt!!

A great scrap buster, right?!!

I found a fun multicolored fabric in my stash for the backing!  YAY!!

Then I used the super cool Waterloque app to turn this photo…

  4. Beautiful projects - especially that HST quilt with the black - just makes the colors pop. Clever sewing machine cover design with the tie sides.

    Spring is here temporarily in SD but we know it won't last. But the idea of a sunny 50 degree day today has me positively giddy!
