It's Complete........

and I am in love, Sorry about the lighting in my sewing room. I just finished it, and I can say that I am awful at hand sewing so I did not handstitch my binding on, I sewed it, and I do love it anyways! I quilted my quilt by machine and as for the design, I just stitched the outline of my squares. I do not have a washing machine so I regretfully cannot wash it for a comfortable broken in feel (and I just did laundry the other night :O( But you bet your butt that I am going to use it tonight! I cannot wait to cuddle up and maybe knit with it. Seems my Central Park Hoodie has taken the back burner since I started quilting recently. I want to atleast finish my hoodie so I do not feel so guilty. Well, here are some pictures, and I am off to make dinner for the famdamily!!






oh, btw, I got in the mail yesterday my darning foot, and my 1/4" quilting foot that fits my machine. now I need to figure out how to use them!

My New Sewing Space plus some new stash additions!!!

So the above picture is of my latest addition to my stash. It is some Moda Cotton Blossoms, Wildflower Serenade, and Miss Jump's Scrapbag. I love!! Below are some pictures of my new sewing room with a cutting table that my husband built me out of African Mahogany and White Birch. I so adore him, and just love to be crafty in my new room.


Now when I am not busy chasing my four kids around the house (oh, wait, shall I say after bedtime) I enjoy listening to the radio and sewing. I am almost done my first quilt, and I am estatic!! I do feel ashamed that my lovely knitting has been extremely neglected :OD

Which will be my second quilt, I cannot wait! I love love love quilting though. My poor knitting has taken the back burner ;(

My NEW Craft Space

Well, yesterday was a busy day for me! I rearranged my childrens bedrooms and placed my daughter Camille in with my son Simon, moved Ephrem into my bedroom and moved Abigail into Camille's old room. The reason why? well two weeks ago we had the start of a chimney fire (we shut down the stove and it went out) but it started in what used to be Abby's room. We decided that if there were ever to be another (God hope there will not) we did not want her in the same room as the chimney. SO, in so created a mini craft/sewing room for me. Now this was my sewing nook in my bedroom. And here are some pictures of my new room. It is not complete as my wonderful husband is building me a drop down cutting table right next to my sewing cabinet! (so I can do it right~his words!) One of the many reasons why I love him so! So now today I can start my first quilt that I am doing a sew along with my good friend!

Two Bags, and a peek at what's to come!!

So yesterday I was asked by a good friend if I could make two bags using the sheep material I got from Japan, of course the answer was yes! and after working hard yesterday and staying up until 2am and waking up at 7:30 this morning, they are done, boxed and getting shipped out in a little while. I am going to make more and put them for sale in my Etsy shop, so keep your eyes open for their arrival!! Also, if you would like one custom made with fabric of your choice, let me know and we can make arrangements, Enjoy!!
P.S. The last picture is of my husband's wall mount we picked up on Friday, his first deer ever! Not bad!!
