Bitten by the Schnibbles Bug

I have been working away in my sewing room these last couple of weeks.  My sewing mojo that left me earlier this summer has found its way back to me.  Must be the cooler temps we've been having.  Summer is over here in New England.  Leaves are falling off the trees and our pool has been drained and put away, ready for next year.  However, the weatherman is telling me that 90 degrees temps are coming back for the middle of this week.  Whatever.  No wonder Punk caught her first cold of the season and is chilling at home today.  Poor thing said she didn't sleep well and just felt lousy this morning.

Okay - back to my sewing.  The last week of August, I decided I needed to sew something.  I had no clue what.  The memory quilt that I'm working on for my Grandmother is on hold until I get more pictures from extended family members.  I went digging.  Digging in my stash and came up with lots of treasures.  Found fabric I thought I used up or lost.  Found border fabrics I thought I never had (and ended up ordering 2 additional yards that I have no use for now).  And some charm packs with a few patterns attached.

I got to work.

First up - Full House made with Reunion charms by Sweetwater.  I hope to get some backing and binding fabrics soon so that I can get this one quilted and on my dining room wall for the Fall/Winter.  I gave each house coordinating roofs and doors.

McGuffey is next and it's made from Lucy's Crab Shack charms; also by Sweetwater.  I have backing and binding for this already.  I had intended to make the "Plan C" Schnibbles with it but I was in no mood to deal with HSTs.  I just wanted something quick and simple.

This is for my wall for next Summer to match my LCS table runner that I've already completed.  I have decided that these piano key borders are not for me.  Even though my top measured correctly without it and my piano key borders measured fine, they were still too big and I had to remove a piece from each and on either end of my border, my fabric is a bit cut off.

In my stash digging, I found several quilt kits that I've been hoarding.  Enough was enough and I busted one out. Working on getting the blocks done for that one.  Once it's in a filmsy form, I'll show ya!  Lots of multi-tasking going on over here.  OH!  And I'm working on a new tote bag for myself too.  :)  As well as bindings at night if my hands aren't bothering me.

I hope to be back soon to show you some more fabric fun!

Enjoy your day!
