I did manage to get some sewing today but before I show you what I made I will show you what arrived in the mail today from Quilters Quarters. I was a bit naughty and broke my "no buying fabric diet"!
My friend, Celia, sent me an email from Quilters Quarters promoting a deal buy 15 quarters and get 15 free! What is a girl to do??? The same deal also included the opportunity to buy a yardling - a one yard cut from the end of a roll, same deal - buy one for $5, get one free. And yes, I weakened. Pretty cool huh! The lucky coincidence is that all the fat quarters go with some fabric that I am using as a feature fabric in a Christmas present quilt I have to make - just perfect.
The same website sent another email - buy 15x 1 yard cuts and get 15 for free - I did NOT succumb to that one!
And now for today's sewing...another laundry bag. This one is for my butcher's friend's son - how could I resist. I just hate the thought of another soldier losing his laundry - ugh - perish the thought!
I also did some other sewing but I can't show you yet. I made the blocks for my swap with Celia. You will have to wait till she has received them before I can show you.
My sisterhood friends are coming tomorrow night for dinner and I am making Chicken in peanut and cumin sauce, roast potatoes and Mars Bar mud cake - the others are bringing food too. There is never a danger of us going hungry at any of our get togethers - always the opposite!!!
So probably no so much sewing tomorrow - but lots of laughter, no doubt too much food - I think I will survive!!
Till next time.............happy stitching!

You are so productive! I know you'll put that fabric to good use.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic sale - how could you resist!
ReplyDeleteI have never looked at that website but I will be heading over
Not sure if you remember me - I met you at the Quilts for Queensland Day
Can't wait to see what you make from all the fabric

I agree that even if you don't need more fabric, that deal would be hard to pass up. The food might be hard to pass up as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could have resisted either - call me "weak-willed"!
ReplyDeleteOh i love that you keep finding more soldiers to make laundry bags for, you're so generous & kind. I do love this one too, lucky boy, love Posie
