Wallhanging

 I saw a wallhanging with the word quilt spelled out in squares so I made a small version with 1.5 inch squares.  Not the best but I can always fix the design when I get the chance to do it again.  

 

Still Nesting.

     I replaced the dull green curtains that covered my closet in my craft room with a pretty blue and white floral.  I finally decided that my craft room colors will be blue and white.

     I also put a blue felt heart banner up over the closet door.  I have two other blue heart hangings in here.  Pictures below.  

    I'm hoping I can get organized in my craft room soon so I can sandwich and quilt a few quilts.  I think I have 5 tops that need to be finished.  Not including the blue and white hexie quilt I only have one row sewn together on.  

Foundation Paper Piecing

    I bought this star pattern from Ten Cow Quilts on Etsy.  It was a very nice pattern.  I made this star to place on the back of my denim jacket.  I used fabric from my stash and it was fun to put together.  

Scrappy Pillow Cover

   The last couple of days I spent cutting and sewing up 112 -3 inch squares to make the front and back of this scrappy pillow cover with my fabric from my stash.  I made the front with 49 squares (7 rows of 7 squares) and after sewing them together I quilted it to a piece of white fabric to stabilize it.  I used the rest of the squares for the envelope back, one piece had 5 rows and the other piece had 4 rows.   It was fun to make.  I want to make more.  

Nesting In My Craft Room, Finally

    The windows are finished and I've been nesting my craft room.  I set up my corner shelf unit for my African violet, which is loving the north light from the window and I set my irons on the shelves.  The entire bottom shelf is empty now.  I want to put something special on it.

   

   I also spent some time organizing my straight pins.  I needed a clean out. I spent a lot of time getting stuck by pins before I even grabbed a pin.  It was annoying.

Wool Heart Garland

    Things have been a little slow crafting wise the past month and a half.  My crafting room is still in chaos waiting for the fix to the window sill that is supposed to happen tomorrow.   Its hard to get to some of my crafting supplies right now.  I have lots of small pillow covers to make when I can get back to my stash.  

    Last week I bought five 5 inch wool felt squares from an Etsy seller to make a small heart garland to hang over my bedroom door.  I got the squares in the mail yesterday and this garland took me an hour to make and hang.  So fun and easy.
