This yard of fabric doesn't have one of the selveges.  I probably cut it off and used it for something else.  But other than that, it's a full yard.

Moda (don't know the fabric line)

May Giveaway Day

I bought this years ago and don't remember the fabric line.  It's an off-white base fabric with a white pattern.  A bit hard to photograph, but you get the idea of the print.

Go visit the link above for more giveaways.  The giveaways are open all week to give you enough time to peruse everything.  Have fun entering!

ETA: The giveaway is closed and the winners are:

Stacks

I'm finally getting time to sew and craft.  I'm not sure what changed.  Maybe the fact that I'm a week away from a two-week vacation and I have all these ideas swirling around my head.  Maybe it's that a few of these ideas are small projects that can be easily finished in a day or less.  Or maybe it's that some of the projects are things I have done before, and so I know what to expect.  There's such a sense of accomplishment with quick projects, unlike some quilts I've had in process for almost a year now.

IMG_4028
This stack has already been made into a new purse for me.  I'll post about it in more detail later.  I've fallen in love with the Echo fabrics.  Although I only bought two of them (the gray is something I got locally), I can see myself snatching up some more for a full quilt.

IMG_4029
These fabrics are for two Peek-a-Boo toy sacks.  I've made two other toy sacks from this tutorial (one I have yet to blog about) and love that I can see just what's in the bag.  These two bags will be for gifts.  Last year, I decided not to wrap gifts with traditional wrapping paper, but to make gift bags out of fabric.  I have a couple kids on the list that will make great use out of both the bag and the toy that's going to be stuffed inside.

IMG_4030
This last stack, along with some Kona solids, are a set aside for a quilt for the new baby.  It's a simple design, quick, hopefully.  

However, I realized that Liam probably needs a new quilt before the baby will, seeing as how he's already moved out of his crib.  He's temporially using our full mattress as his bed, but it's a bit too big for the long term.  We're getting him a twin bed for Christmas, and he needs proper bedding to go with it.  I have some fabric and a design picked out.  I'm thinking that I probably need some more fabrics, though.  Liam's quilt may take priority over the baby's quilt.

As I'm writing this post, the purse for me is finished and I'm about halfway done with the toy sacks.  I'll most likely finish them tomorrow.  Maybe I'll start cutting for Liam's quilt this week and getting it sewn during the first week of vacation.

Of course, these are just the quilting and sewing projects I have in the works.

I bought this fabric a couple weeks ago.  I'd been eyeing it for awhile and finally took the blunge.  I love the colors.  I'll probably just use these six fabrics and some solids in a quilt.  I have no clue what pattern to use, yet.  I'm sure it will come to me as it always does.  They are fun to look at.

50th post & Giveaway

It's my 50th post on my new blog.  Since switching over from my old blog, I've been much more prolific.  I also feel that I've been much more productive in my crafting, mainly quilting and sewing, not so much knitting.  It just seems easier now.  Who knows why.

To celebrate, I'm giving away some fabric.  These are all from my stash.  Yardage is listed.  Winners will be announced via random number generator.  Please be sure I have access to your email (either leave it or be sure it's on your profile).  If I can't find your email, I'll "randomize" someone else.  Only one entry per person. Duplicates will be deleted.  Comments will be open until Wednesday, March 23 at 8:00 pm PST.

Two ways to win:
1. Leave a comment
2. Blog about the giveaway. Leave a comment with a link to your blog.

Good luck!

Sunday Stash

I've been coveting the Dr. Seuss fabric for quite some time and finally got around to ordering some for myself.  Now, I just need to figure out what to make with it.  I'm intending to make a quilt for a little someone I know who will be turning one in May.  Plenty of time to do a small quilt.  

IMG_1874
Any idea what I should make?  I have the Dr. Seuss panels as well as these fabrics.  I'm thinking some log cabins or something similar.  Maybe some wonky stars with a fussy cut center.  Not sure what to do with the panels, yet or how those might work into the design.

Moleskin Notebook


IMG_1852

I like to sketch quilting ideas on graph paper.  

Last year, I bought an ugly notebook from an office supply store.  It was the kind of notebook that I'd take to a math class, maybe.  It sat in a drawer and I took it out only when I needed graph paper, which wasn't too often.  It wasn't something that I carried around (too ugly for that).  Not that I was ashamed of it, but I wasn't really proud of it, either.

Earlier this week, I set about looking for a better notebook.  Originally, I just wanted something that didn't look like I was in a high school math class.  I found a couple I like, so I bought one.  On our way out of the store, I found a three-pack of these moleskin notebooks.  We returned the one I bought and got the three-pack instead.  

I'd realized that I'd seen crafters who sewed fabric onto the covers.  Genius.  I raided my scrap pile, chose a few coordinating prints and appliqued them onto the front.  This is what I've come up with so far.  I may add more as inspiration hits.  For now, it is good.

IMG_1843
Above is a photo of my small scrap pile.  It's scraps that are generally too small to use for quilting.  They're the kind of scraps that I should probably throw away, but can't bear to part with just yet.  I'm thinking that I'll end of making a ticker tape quilt with them.  Maybe a wall hanging.  Or maybe I'll be ambitious and make a lap quilt.  Or maybe ticker tape squares like a quilt-as-you-go type of thing (like I need another quilt-as-you-go project).  Who knows.  For now, they sit.  Until I raid the pile again.

Scrap Swap

Sara over at SewSara is hosting a scrap swap.  Since I'm using a bunch of scraps for my quilt-as-you-go, I figured I could exchange a few for some new ones and change it up a bit.  Who knows I may add a few more colors than blue, green, and brown.

If you're interested, go on over and sign up (click the image).

Black & Yellow

IMG_1810
My next quilt will be made from these fat quarters.  I'm in love with the colors and the stark contrast of them all.  Yellow adds a bit of springtime.  I plan on strip piecing small squares together with some Kona Snow.  Simple yet eye-catching.
