I've been wanting these patterns for a while now so I broke down last week and ordered a few of them off my list from Treasured Threads.
First order of business is to make Magoo. I LOVE that little monkey! Has anyone out there made Magoo? I read the instructions about 4 times last night so that I'm familiar with what I'm getting into. I'm okay up until I get to putting Magoo all together. Of course, I'm not following along with fabric pieces, just in my head so that makes things a bit tougher. But of course, I'm still confused. What else is new? LOL. I'm sure I can always email Melly for tips and advice. I am envisioning a purple Magoo with pink shorts for Punkie. And I found the perfect fabric for it. And of course, I need to make one for myself. Not sure what color mine will be...
Of course I have a bunch of OTHER stuff that needs to get finished before I start on Magoo. Like Punkie's lap quilt. I keep staring at the finished blocks and they stare back saying "Finish us already!" So I think that's what I'll be working on this weekend. Punkie's lap quilt and my Valentine's Day swap items.
I also wanted to thank everybody for their thoughts on my fabric stash and how much to buy question. Seems like everyone is in the same frame of mind. If you love it, buy as much of it as your wallet will let you! I will keep everyone's suggestions in mind when I go shopping this afternoon at my LQS... they are having a sale. Can't pass that one up!
Enjoy your day!

Those patterns are precious! I want a Fido. Oh my, I can just imagine the color combinations - Amelia is going to love them.
ReplyDeleteOh they are so cute! You're going to have such fun making all these critters. I love the idea of a purple Magoo in pink shorts. And, yes, you definitely need one for yourself!
ReplyDeleteI love MAGOO and I cannot wait to see him finished! How exciting, new stuff in the mail! Can't beat the fun in that! Oh, and I know you'll get your stuff done in time to be in the drawing...you are so efficient. It is fun the waiting and the wondering what we'll get though, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Magoo! I was lucky enough to win that pattern from a Melly giveaway. I ran out and bought the fabric...but there it sits -- just haven't gotten around to it. I'm probably waiting until I have a little someone to make it for!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a Magoo and she just loves it. I didn't make it myself. I ran out of time and so bought it from someone else. Can't wait to see it. :0)
