Sew-In Sunday

I had a sew-in Sunday.  It felt good to be in my sewing room for most of the day.  I didn't get as much done as I would have liked but I got a couple projects done and out of the way so I'm satisfied.

When I was working on my Be Mine tutorial, I made a practice block out of some scraps to see how the project would all come together.  Since the scraps were from the quilt that I made for my Punk, I finished the block into a pillow for her bed.

Here's the back...

I think she will like it.  But now I have to hit Joanns for another pillow form since I stole borrowed this one from my Be My Valentine pillow.

I finished my Spring/Summer scrappy string block wallhanging.  It will be ready for quilting soon.  I had a little trouble with executing this.  Scrappy quilts are NOT ME.  I had a very hard time not making the blocks match!  So to combat this, I did not think about my string layout too much.  I just picked out of my stash, trimmed it to the width I needed and sewed them on.  Only thing I made sure of was that the blocks were kind of balanced on each side with strength of colors and such.  Now that it's done, I like it.  :)  I think I want to make a table runner.  But I think I'll make my table runner red, white and aqua.  A bit more matchy-matchy for me.

Here's a close up of the strings.

I have one more finish to show you but that will have to wait until tomorrow.  It's nice to post more than once a week.  Hopefully my sewing mojo is back for a while!

Enjoy your day!
