Missing My Baby…

My Bernina Artista 640E… my baby… sniff sniff… is in the quilt shop for repair and adjusting… sigh  I am really missing her!!   

Thank goodness, I have my old Bernina Virtuosa 160 to pull out of the closet and set up in my sewing table!  The clear insert doesn’t fit too well, but I’m making do!

So, I was able to finally quilt my Schnibbles quilt for January- “Full House”yesterday.

I made it from Kate Spain’s beautiful collection- “Good Fortune”. Love the pastels with pops of red orange!  Yowsza!!

I free-motion quilted it with meandering leaves.

I used a pretty hydrangea print from my stash for thebacking and a pretty swirly green fabric for the binding.

YAY!  Am so happy to get the first Schnibbles project for the new year completed before the last day of the month!!  Whew!!   

I can’t wait to find out what comes next!! 

SOOOO, what did you sew on this weekend??

Busy Days

OK, so I’m sure you are thinking

what a slacker I am so far this year!!

I promise I have been sewing!! 

I’ve made 4 new winter corduroy

tops in great and fun colors. 

And I joined the new One Schnibble

pattern a month group,

so I’ve been working on this

month’s pattern, “Full House”

which I’m making out of Kate

Spain’s  “Good Fortune” collection.

I just LOVE making these little

Schnibbles quilts by “Miss Rosie”.

Carrie’s instructions are always

the best!!  So clear and easy!

So, I’ve finished the top and it

is sandwiched and ready to quilt!

Buttttt, I have to get a special

blog post done for Accuquilt, who

asked me to be a guest blogger in

their spotlight series… so I have

to design, make and create a tutorial

using a GO! die…so quilting my little

January Schnibble quilt will have to

wait!!  So stay tuned, dear friends!!
