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...

I was playing around with cutting and ended up with this.  I am plum out of batting so this is as far as this is going to get for now.  At 29"x34" it is pretty small, but I think it is darling all the same.

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...

I put binding on the Christmas quilt.

I finished piecing and found backing for the small corduroy quilt (with exrta blocks from the big corduroy quilt that I still need batting for).

I started and finished piecing the top of a quilt that I made with a set of fat quarters I bought AGES ago.

Now what?

I sewed up some sock monkeys.

I am all about the DIY but this may be my favorite, even if I have yet to completely finish it...

 Here are a few of my other favorites... bottle cap table, lavendar and green quilt, light dancer, rooster purse and my very favorite pink and red quilt.

I also have this blanket that I crocheted with left over yarn from other projects that I have done.  I use it all the time.  Really I make a lot of stuff myself.  I need to work on them more though, work has been getting in the way...
