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

Fig Tree Block of the Month 

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!!!

First Day of Fall: Show and Tell

I had family come up for a visit last week...

consequently, there was a cleaning and shopping to do 

beforehand and the fun and activities that come 

with having a house guest.

I took time off from work so I could really 

enjoy the visit!

However, none of those activities 

have allowed me to step one foot inside

my sewing room!

But now

 I think I have recovered...

and I am thinking 

about fall!

Today, I thought I could at least

 share a few quilts of Autumn Past!

Of course that includes Fig Tree & Co. because 

Fig Tree and Fall just seem to go together!

Then there was this fun fall quilt I made last year...

using Art Gallery Fabrics.

The fabric is Sweet As Honey and there is a video of the 

pattern here.

Here is another, slightly different kind of

 Autumn quilt I made...

I think it was the year before last. 

I am way behind on quilt these!!!

Happy first day of Fall!
