Welcome Back! Little Sewing Room!

 That aww moment when the tornado that came through the sewing room passess😂 101 pillowcases at some point trash bins over flow,fabric starts flying ,wait where'd the floor go?🤣 I should had made a video,me sewing,my niece ironing,my 9 yr old nephew pulling them outta the jelly roll stage,the older nephew was on babysitting duty, Makenzie is almost walking now,we were a site to behold😂 yesterday the sewing room finally got some luv & a little makeover

I'm pretty sure my sewing room is a little scared that I laid these fabrics out 😂

Plans & A Sneak peek Into Fall Decorating

 Lemons makes me happy 🤔well not so much 🤣but sewing does,🤣

sewing has taken a back seat to all othere projects far too long ,years too long,plans are in the works to dive back into sewing in the next few months ,meanwhile here's a sneak peek at some of my Fall decor for my Fall celebration dinner coming up

I'm finishing up the Fall quilt made with a panel ,there's the 2 red & white tops I want quilted for Christmas along with other projects ,so csn you guess what's going down in the sewing room in the next few weeks ?😂

Shop Hoping & Watercolor Challenge Completed

 Friday when I delivered the pillowcases  we got a two for one ,the shop just happened to be part of the shop hop, we got our quilt block & I picked up this pattern, I'm  looking forward to getting into it in the new year

I did not know there was such a thing as a needle sharpener 😄

I finished the last of the watercolor challenge this morning & got them submitted,there wil be a zoom tonight & voting, I won't win any grand prizes ,free handing is not my friend 😄but it was fun & enlightening & I did learn a few new techniques 

The Sewing Machine Mart is the sweetest little shop in Springfield Ala.

I learned something new ,I didn't know there was sich a thing as a needle sharpener,maybe I don't get out enough 😄 but you insert the needle into the middle & twist it around a few times & it sharpens it

Pillowcases Delivered!

 The last stich has been stitched,the last one pressed & folded has been delivered to their drop off location on their way  to Case For Smiles for children's hospitals 

The tote was a perfect fit! 2 months but I reached my goal that I've always wanted to achieve for this wonderful cause ,100 plus 1 ,I cut & sewed one extra & didn't know it till I did a final count this morning 

I'm Still Here!

I have been jelly rolling the last of the pillowcases all day off & on,my niece  came by for a visit ,I took a break & took her to lunch then back at it,a few hours later my neighbor called wanting to walk around the neighborhood,its been so unbearably hot that it was good to take a  little walk, then you guessed it! back in the sewing room!😄  

Before I went to bed last night I did day 1 of a 3 day watercolor challenge hosted by Dream & Draw Art School,you can find her on you tube & face book  ,trying to draw pumpkins with a paintbrush is nerve-racking , it was late & it is what it is 😄

 

Cut! Cut! Cut! & Cut Some More!

The last two days I've been getting the last of the fabrics for pillowcases cut ,prepped & ready  , 13 ready for turning,pressing & added to the tote , 32 cut & ready to trim salvages off, 20 ready to jelly roll , 4 cut with 2 yds pending ,7 need fabric for cuffs,yes I have been running my own sweat shirt factory with myself🤣 with only 2 more to cut out & a few cuff prints, finishing up will go a lot faster to my goal of 100 ,I plan to take a road trip Friday with my niece to Huntsville to drop them off

Lunch also gets prepped 😄 grilled chicken salad with y'all's peach tea

Sadie (lab) is spending the week with us, we're in for a few cool mornings in the upcoming days but for now about 10 minutes of sunbathing & playtime is enough  for these girls 😄
