More playing in the sewing room with my fabric stash. I just wanted to try out some more foundation piecing from my Quilter’s Ark book.
I still need to embroider some legs and antennae. The pretty blue fabrics are from my friend Misty in TN.

I have another project joining the ranks in my little sewing corner. I finally cut my Japanese fabric! It was scary to cut into such precious prints, but fabric was meant to be sewn, not just hoarded. I have started to assemble some blocks for another quilt.
Brendan and I are really cutting back on our spending, so for now, all of my sewing has been with yardage in my stash. It’s been fun “rediscovering” some of my prints, and it’s been stretching my creativity to limit myself to the materials on hand. Unfortunately, that means that this current project is going to be shelved again until I do have some more spending money so that I can get some black fabric and some more white to finish this quilt top.
Oh well, it’s off to my sewing nook to find some other treasures just waiting to be cut up and sewn into something special in the meantime!
Love,
Tiff
Here’s a peak at something I’m working on.
However, I’m a bit stalled until I can get more linen. What do you think it might be?

Check out my min quilt! I used a pattern in my new Whip Up book (see previous post).
Thanks to the Amazon gift card from my mom and dad for Christmas, my sewing library has expanded:
So many patterns I am itching to try!

A girl at work is due next month. She is waiting until delivery to learn the gender of her baby, hence the green and yellow. Here is an Amish puzzle ball and two embellished burp cloths gift set:
One burp cloth (cloth diaper) has polka dot binding and two rows of rickrack. The other features a simple panel of ducklings. The fabrics are from Jo-Ann’s: remnants that I bought before moving to Michigan.
Love,
Tiff
