I loved Jeanette’s Little Red bag and decided to make one for myself.
BAM!

Pajama Pants

While out shopping at Wal-Mart, I saw a queen sized 200 thread-count flat sheet on sale for $5. Score! That’s a nice piece of yardage. I figured it would make a great quilt backing (I’ve used flat sheets for three quilts so far).
However, once I got it home, I decided to make pajama pants.
The pants are a simple drawstring, pale yellow, and oh-so comfy! I’ll have to make a matching top (I have plenty of fabric left).
Love,

Winter Quilt Two

Nov
I am going to do a very simple pattern for my winter quilt. I think some of the prints are too pretty to cut into small pieces.
cut strips: I'm ready to piece!
The cardinal and winter scene fabric is cut into large rectangles. I then cut strips from the other fabrics. These strips will be sewn together in rows of three and then cut to match the size of the large rectangles. At least, that’s the plan thus far… With all of the snow flurries and colder weather, I am anxious to have my winter quilt for snuggling and retiring my Woodland Creatures until next fall.

Cupcake Coordinates

Back in Tennessee, on my last visit to Jo-Ann’s (wipes away tear), I purchased the blue cupcake fabric. I had no plans for it, but I can never resist cupcakes. I thought I would never see the fabric on a bolt again as there aren’t any Jo-Ann’s within HOURS of my new home. Well, imagine my surprise when I saw the cupcake collection at our local Wal-Mart! I’m sure I startled Brendan with my shocked squeal in the fabric section of Wal-Mart. I promptly picked up each bolt (and may have hugged them a little) and made a purchase.
I’ll have to make something for my orange kitchen as Katie suggested (she was with me at the last visit to Jo-Ann’s when I purchased the blue fabric).
Love,
Tiff
P.S. Yes, I’ll wait until after I finish my previously mentioned sewing projects.
More Japanese Fabric!

My darling sister-in-law sent me some more fabric from Japan! It’s so kawaii!
I have the perfect plan for it, too. But it’s secret and will take a while to execute as I am *making* myself finish certain sewing projects before starting any new ones (e.g. my Woodland Creatures quilt appliqué, my Caer Sullivan quilt, and the winter quilt top). * I really don’t want to be the lady with tons of unfinished quilts in her sewing room…
Domo arigato, Kristin, Jeremy, and Aeris!
Love,

*As I told Brendan, I may not be allowed to start new projects before finishing these, however, I am, of course, allowed to stock up on fabric and investigate materials for future projects as I see fit. That totally sounds disciplined, right?

Back in Tennessee, I bought some holiday fabric from Hobby Lobby. I finally found some coordinating cotton here in the UP to start a quilt. The blue, cream, and brown is from Wal-Mart. The winter scene, cardinals, snowflakes, and pine-cones came from Hobby Lobby.
I think instead of a “Christmas” quilt, it will be a winter quilt since nothing is overtly Christmas. That way I can use it for the entirety of the UP’s long winter season.

There are babies-galore here in the UP. I’m glad it’s so much fun to sew for them. I used my latest fabric stash additions to make these cute little blocks.

While in Illinois, I went to Jo-Ann’s and picked up some cute fabric. I love the whimsical little windows and the cute birdcages actually have tiny little birds in them.
Look at this cute little half yard of gnomes from fabricworm.com. The polka dots came from Wal-Mart. I have some ideas for this stuff…
Love,
