Progress : :

I added the stitching to this little project I had shared on Monday. Since I snapped this photo it's come a l-o-n-g way! Her and a three other sketch-stitchy appliqued quilt blocks have made up what will be my my second quilt top. I am so excited about it! I need to add a border to what I have so far, in a solid color (which I don't have yet) and then I'll be ready to take more photos.

Progress

You might remember this little project I shared way back on the 1st of September?!  In it's previous wip state it received lots of love here and on Flickr. And I was so happy with it, I just left it alone and forgot about it altogether. Although long overdue, finally I decided it was time to be finished!

Fall Fox Applique Pillow

It was made with Celebrate Color in mind. The colors feel so very Fall to me. The fabric for the back was actually chosen with this poem in mind, "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." Isn't that pretty!

There has been much progress with my Birthday Crown orders, too. With these, that old saying "When it rains, it pours" totally applies. I enjoy making them still, so it's all good! When you see that they've disappeared from my shop and in that little sidebar etsy ad over there to your right, you'll know. Yup, I've had enough. :)

Birthday Crowns

This one is my new, new favorite. Do you think it's possible for me to fit one more thing on this little crown? I mean really! And, it's reversible!

It's amazing how much time I have spent sewing lately. Thankfully, no one seems to mind. (Can you hear me knocking on wood!)

Have a lovely Wednesday, everyone!

  7. Adorable projects you are working on/and have completed! I wish I had half as much as time you have to sew so many things. Being a college student really cuts down sewing time.

  27. Suddenly I began to regret that I didn't acknowledge occasional claustrophobia on the medical release form. But after the 45 minute boat ride to the coral reefs, when two divers guided my head into the spacious capsule, I Coach Outlet Purses On Clearance felt great, giddy even, as I sank. At Cheap Nike Air Force 1 a depth of MK Outlet Sale 15 or 20 feet, our group led by divers navigated reefs nibbled by parrotfish, snappers, blue tangs and sergeants major.

    Saipov allegedly struck them from behind. Some witnesses described them being tossed in the air, and others described seeing them run over, with tire marks left on their Coach Outlet Online 80 OFF bodies. Five of them died: Erlij, Hernn Mendoza, Diego Angelini, Alejandro Pagnucco and Hernn Ferruchi..

    What do I like about Calendar? The buzz, the Jordan Shoe Stores adrenaline, the fun. I love meeting people and MK Outlet Online am always grateful that they are willing to share their stories with us and the viewers. Reacting to breaking news is challenging, but so exciting. Cheap Air Forces How much fuel would a nuclear submarine carry?Only the few thousand kilograms that is in the core already. The reactor core is manufactured by one of the "big" suppliers of nuclear materials. All the fuel is welded inside tubes or plates.

    Was no fraud or tax evasion Coach Outlet Clearance Sale by anyone. The facts upon which the Times bases its false allegations are extremely inaccurate. All estate matters were handled by licensed attorneys, licensed CPAs and licensed real estate appraisers who followed all laws and rules strictly.
