Okay, the winner of Friday's Plume bundle is Rachelle who said, regarding her first sewing project "I think mine was either a stuffed doll made out of an old orange terry cloth towel or when I cut apart a pair of old flowered jeans and made a pencil bag" Yay Rachelle!
Those comments were so much fun! I sat here giggling and nodding my head while reading them all. So many Barbie clothes! And lots of 4H projects too. It was so great to see that some folks made their first project over 50 years ago and others started just a couple of months ago. Sewing just never goes out of style does it?
Here is an updated quilt picture (with a cute kitty bathing herself). I'm nearly done with the top (just two more big sashing strips on the ends) and I'm actually almost done with the back of it too. I think I'll name this one "Sea Breeze" (See, I'm naming my quilts already. This is getting serious).
Joey is working on some more socks. He found some patterned yarn and is having way too much fun with it. He says these are for him but if you'd be willing to comment on how "pretty" and "darling" they're turning out I might be able to snag these for myself.
And Bari's fabric arrived about 2 hours ago! I've already found a nice home for it and have spent some time oohing and aahing and touching and dreaming. I knew it was pretty but I don't remember the colors being so gorgeous when I first saw it. I'm under the impression that the manufacturers don't always have the colors perfected when the give the designers fabric to make their quilt market samples.
And yes, I ordered Kay Whitt's new patterns!! They should be here this week! I was gushing to Kay about how gorgeous they were (and yes, sort of begging) before I knew they were available and she kindly popped the dress patterns in the mail just for me (she's nice that way!). So they arrived today and I'm working on one tonight. Yay!
