I'm sharing a little bit with you now...
but next week there will be lots more to see!


I am getting really excited to show you the full quilt...





but right now 
I am just getting the binding on this,  now that it has been quilted.

I am so excited to been able to play with these fabrics along with my 
vintage sheet collection! 

I am sure you recognize the pattern but on the border
I made it slightly wavy  to give it a little bit of
whimsy!


But most of my focus over the weekend was getting ready for a baby shower


for my son and his wife.
We are all patiently waiting for the arrival of
their sweet little boy!

 These will be put in a box to Adopt-A-Monster.
I think you can tell what the theme of the party is?
I will share more photos when it all comes together...
so you get the full impact!!

Farm Girl Vintage Friday

This is what else I have been doing this week...




I made a couple of barns for my Farm Girl Vintage






And a couple of Silo blocks also!


Yikes... sorry for the blur!


And then I made some tree blocks.

I think it is possible that this quilt will get done this year!

I am glad I waited though, because I saw somebody's FGV quilt and
it inspired me to continue on and her layout was amazing also.
(I pinned in on my Bee In My Bonnet board on Pinterest)

Have a good weekend!

Pink Soccer Balls and Pam Kitty Morning!


Evie is 4 now and is playing soccer!
It is too much fun!
It also brings back memories when her dad 
and her uncles use to play soccer on the same field.
Oh goodness... I have missed being on the sidelines!

What is even more fun is that my kids are on
 the sidelines along with the hubs and me.

That is just what you do on Saturday mornings, right?


I made one of these cute Zakka sewing caddy's.
They are addictive!

I am suing my PKM stash...
I have been hoarding these fabrics for a long time...
but I am glad that they are being used...



I had a painters drop cloth that I washed the heck out of
and used up a bottle of fabric softener as well.

It came out like linen... well not just like linen...
but it has great texture and softness. 

I love it!



I also have a start on my Nana and Company
little pillow. 

I plan on making a couple... or a dozen...
of these! Well, a couple to start with anyway!

I will embroider...
You are my Sunshine, My only sunshine on it 
for Elsea



and on Evie's I will be adding  I love you a bushel and a peck.

"their songs"!

I have been doing some serious catching up on 
my Farm Girl Vintage also.

I will be back to show more tomorrow!

Have a good evening!

First Weekend of Fall Ahead!

I have a new 
layer cake of Chestnut Street that 
is calling to me... 
so how could I resist this 
cute Pumpkin Seeds 
pattern by The Pattern Basket?
I have been watching these pumpkins pop up on 
Instagram over the past 
week or so and I love each and
every one of them!

I have big plans on playing in the 
sewing room over the weekend...
however, I also feel a cold coming on...
so,
my plans might get derailed.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will
not succumb to it!

I also had a little bit of trouble 
when the announcement 
came for new
programs; 2017 edition!





(photo borrowed from Fig Tree & Co.)

I signed up for Nantucket.
I only allowed myself 
one new BOM because, well, I 
still have the two 
I am doing this year to catch up on!

I hope you have fun plans for the weekend...
it's the first weekend of Fall!!!
