Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so thankful for my wonderful family and friends.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Lazy Girl Summer Tote

I took quick pictures this morning.  Here is the tote using Brooklyn Heights by Benartex.  These are the front and back covers.

And here is what the inside looks like.  I should point out the inside lining is not Brooklyn Heights.  I'm afraid I've totally forgotten what it is.  I'll find out and let you know.

That's all for now.  More later!

It's Almost Thanksgiving

I know, I know, it's been a while.  However, football season really takes it's toll.  We've not had a free weekend in almost 3 weeks.  Good news, the Jaguars have won their last three games and are now #1 in the AFC South!  Woo Hoo!

We have family coming on Friday for the weekend.  Looking forward to it, but have lots to do to get ready.

On the sewing side of things, I've been working diligently on this Lazy Girls Design Purse for my friend T.  It's called the Summer Tote and it's SUPER EASY!  We're using Brooklyn Heights by Benartex.  It's going to be very cute!

After that's done, I have to start working on the tshirt quilt.  I'll show pictures when I begin. 

Anyway, I'm off Wednesday so I'll update more this week and show you pictures of the purse in progress. 

Have a great week!

I'm Still Here and Veteran's Day

It's been a very busy couple of weeks for me so I really haven't gotten much sewing done.  My husband is a professional photographer and to keep expenses down, I tag along and help when I can.  The past few weekends were busy with a halloween party and a wedding (this past Friday and Saturday) and then a baby shower.  Had to whip up a quick burp cloth for that one. 

On a sewing note, I'm making another t-shirt quilt.  Yay!  These are so much fun to make and it's nice to know people really appreciate them.  I'm also going to start working on a purse for a friend of mine.  Has anyone made any of the Lazy Girl purses?  She picked one of those patterns and it seems pretty easy and straight forward.

Thank you to all our Veteran's and their families who served and fought so that we can enjoy the freedom have.

Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!  Be safe!

It's Your Birthday

Today was my friend, Teresa's, birthday!  Happy Birthday Girlfriend!  That's quite a haul ya got there. 

Look Who's Here!



Yay!  The Blue Angels are here.  The Jacksonville Air Show 2010 is Saturday and you can bet we'll be there!  Love these shows.  DVS took this photo sitting on the roof of our house as they were practicing.  Very cool.

Sigh . . .

Bad, bad, bad, stinky loss last night. . . and on Monday Night Football no less.  Oh well, on to Kansas City.  Is the season over yet?

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Yessirree, we're playing on Monday Night Football tonight against the Tennessee Titans.  Soooo exciting! 

Anyway, I got a little sewing done this weekend.  I'm finishing up a couple of little table toppers for Christmas presents this year.  Have not decided where they are going yet.  One is ready to quilt and the other needs a backing. 

I've been tryng to come up with an idea on how to incorporate DVS' photos in my quilts.  I'm thinking I'll start easy with one of his flowers and applique it.  I was watching The Quilt Show this weekend and saw Melinda Bula's Fabulous Fusible Flowers episode.  This sounds like it would be doable.  Any other suggestions out there? 

Ok, back to work and fingers crossed for tonight!

See ya!

Things I Need To Do on My Weekend Off

Remember this quilt?

It's all quilted and ready for the binding.  Definitely getting this done!

Also, need to work on the Pat Sloan's Lucky Charm Sew Along.  It will make a nice Christmas gift.  If you haven't tried this sew along, you need to!  It's so much fun and so far, I really like the way it looks.  Of course, this is Pat's picture, not mine.  LOL!

I'm also going to the monthly Bernina Club at Paula's on Saturday. 

The team is in Buffalo this weekend.  We just had a big win against the Colts and the Bills are 0-4.  Believe me when I tell you, this will be a tough game for us.  Fingers Crossed!

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll try and do an update photo of the patchwork quilt this weekend.
