I took the week off from work with the intent of sewing all week, of course after the new XBOX360 release with netflix, I got sucked into Jericho... second season was a major dissapointment, the fact that I watched both seasons in a room where my sewing machine was not very productive, but the mind escape was good.

Then I got to sewing.  I finished binding (which I have yet to learn to love) made a few dish clothes... and loaded them (well the quilts and a few of the dish clothes) up on my etsy shop.

I am even offering free shipping on quilts for the holidays!!

A few weeks back my boss had a baby boy.  I have not worked for her all that long, but she is a really great boss so I wanted to make something for her.  I do not really know what her style is so I thought that a nice gift might be a travel changing pad for the diaper bag... so that is what I made.

I also hung a light above my sewing table today, which I officially love.  It isn't a fancy light, but I was going for function.  After a little misshap with a stud in the ceiling... all is well.

Perhaps one day I will cut only enough fabric for a quilt top (outside of preset bits of fabric) but until that day comes I will continue to have bits left-over.  Sometimes even enough for another quilt... I still have triangles from the triangle quilt... they haunt me... but I digress.  I took the bits and sewed and cut and cut and sewed and then there it was.  A lovely little blue lap, couch or baby quilt.

I still need to go batting shopping... I am not entirely looking for a weekend full of binding...

While going through some fabric I found these pieces for a quilt that I cut shortly before I moved, so I figured, since I was on a roll anyway, I should just sew them up.

Now I am SUPER short on batting and backing fabric...

This week has been far busier than I had anticipated; my crafting has suffered.  I have really only had time and energy for knitting.

On the bright side TxK and I did get pedicures, so now I have pretty toes; I had dinner with my cousin; I got the estimate taken care of on my car and made a repair appointment; I worked on the plans for an upcoming roadtrip; I updated my iPod; I got caught up with some friends; I bought a campus cruiser that I think I will call Gretta or George; filed my taxes.   All without taking the week off.

Show us something you made yourself.
