Did all the Moms have a nice Mother's Day? I did. We went out to brunch with some of my extended family and Mom. It was nice and we all left the restaurant fat and happy. Chris and Amelia gifted me a double thread cone holder for my sewing machine. I love it. It actually clips to the top of my sewing machine. I should go and take its picture to show you. When my cone of thread gets delivered, I will do just that.
I have many projects to work on but I just haven't felt like concentrating on them. I had some fabric here in my stash and figured it was enough for some pillowcases so that's what I did. I made pillowcases.
The 4 on the left is from Kari Ramsey's Tidbits fabric collection. 2 for us and 2 for Punk. The cupcakes ones... well, they were supposed to be for Amelia but you know what? I'm keeping them for myself. I have another idea for her using these two fabrics so you'll have to stay tuned. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks, I'll show you. :)
That's all for now. I signed up for the Santa Sack Swap and I have some ideas brewing in my head for my partner, Melissa and a long list of small projects I would like to make for her. I'm just not sure what Christmas fabrics to use for my sack. I think a trip to the fabric store for some inspiration is needed soon! I have been working on my Bliss disappearing 9 patch blocks too. I have 20 of them done and since I shifted gears with these blocks yet again, I have some re-measuring to do.
Enjoy your day!

I can't wait to see what you come up with! I've got a list of idea's too, although mine is all in my head, I need to get them on paper! Have a great day!
ReplyDeletePS-I want to make some new pillowcases for my bed too, just have to measure the king size ones I already have to buy the right amount of fabric. I'm used to the regular size!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely weekend!

Don't you love making pillow cases? They are so fun and so many options. But I think you need to give those to Miss Punkie myself. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Mother's Day Jen!
You make the cutest pillowcases. Dying to see your Bliss quilt! :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are working on lots of fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteCute pillowcases!!! Where did they find that thread cone holder. I went and bought one at JoAnns but it is very flimsy and I'm not happy with it.
