A Friday of Sewing

First I was working on finishing a quilt on the longarm. This quilt was a little out of my normal... its a scrap quilt, made by making slabs of any leftover flannelette that matched the colour scheme... The back was also pieced from bits of leftover flannelette. I quilted this hoping that I would have enough thread as I was finishing off the spool. I had just enough!

Then I loaded the longarm with a strip quilt....

And finally I pulled out a project box containing a Hallowe'en Double Wedding Ring that my now 7yo designed 2 years ago. Good thing we took a photo of the layout from then. She really wanted to use the Accuquilt Go Double Wedding Ring Die and the Hallowe'en Fabrics.... The top is now finished.

A few finishes

Last week my daughter was going to a birthday party and needed a gift... I dug through the stash... and came up with enough fabric for a pillow case....  Pair it with a book from the closet and some bath bubbles and I have a gift I didn't need to leave the house for... and even better it is personalized!













So I finished a few things up on Monday....  These were on my longarm a week or so ago... I loaded a few metres of muslin on my longarm, and then added batting pieces (yes using up scraps) and did 2 computer bags (3 pieces total), and a pillow (3 pieces).   It was a great way to do some smaller items all at once on the longarm.  

First up was a couple of computer bags using this tutorial.  A computer bag for my husband.... This one is lined with Gortex as my husband cycles to work.  Its not fully waterproof (no seam sealing, and has a zipper) but if its drizzly it'll help keep the computer dry.  I suggest he still uses his Dry Sack on really rainy days!

And one for my son... no Gortex on this one... but he pieced the top and quilted the inner layer his first time using the longarm.

And finished the pillow I originally started from January's Dare to Dresden.....

And I also finished blocks for the Simply Solids Bee.... This one is a Churn Dash ready to mailed out....

And then this one is a modular Cathedral Window based on the tutorial A Few Scraps: Modular Cathedral - Single Window Block.  I've sized mine up so that it will be a 12" finished block....
