another swap package received


I received my other swap package from the swap bot stash swap. I've never seen these fabrics before so they will be a nice addition to my stash.


There was also this fun piece of bowling fabric.


Love these buttons! Especially the Mrs. Claus looking one.

Justin's quilt top finished


I finished sewing Justin's quilt top. It was actually boring to sew. Very long seams. I didn't think I would ever get to the ends. Good thing there were only 5 rows to sew together. Of course it is always breezy when I want to take a quilt picture. When I want to work out in the yard...no breeze. Go figure! I had hubby snap the picture while my daughter and I held it up. I was trying to just let the bottom lay on the ground and just hold the top but every time I took a step back my daughter followed me. The hubby didn't zoom in at all. What can you expect from the help...especially when you don't pay them lol.




Here it is laying sloppily on his messy bed. Looks like it will fit nicely. Now to piece a back for it. I need to pull out the leftover fabric to see what kind of design I want to go with. Then on to quilting this bad boy! I'm planning on free motion quilting it on my little home machine. That should be an adventure lol. I'm sure there will be some aerobics and swearing involved!

Monkey Love



I put this sock monkey together this past weekend. I bought these socks on clearance at Target after Valentine's day. This sweetie will be part of a give a-way that I will tell you about later this week :)

Pastel Squares


I loved the pastel fabrics so I decided to work up some blocks from the left overs. I want to go back to JoAnn's and buy some more pastels. I'm hoping there was some orange but I don't remember what colors they had. I have 27 blocks done. They are all 6.5" unfinished. I'm hoping to make a twin size quilt.
