Jacob's Animal Quilt & Pillow

I finished Jacob's new animal quilt & pillow today! He loves pointing out animals when you ask him to identify them...... So this quilt will be entertainment for us while I am getting "cuddle wuddles" !! You can't beat that! LOL

And he really likes the matching pillow case!! I did a pillow case on his guitar quilt too (I can't remember if I posted that one) ..... He really seems to get a kick out of the pillow matching his quilt..... He's funny

Made a NEW PURSE - Pink and Black

I finished making another purse!!  There are a few things that I would do differently if I did it all over again - but all and all - I'm pleased enough with it to start using it!

There were a couple of "FIRSTS" on this project again for me!  So that's good - I adding more techniques to my  "Learn to Sew Stuff" LIST!  I made my own piping for the first time and of course sewed the piping to my project!  Also -- this is my first purse to make using the "Drop In Liner" method.  I dropped the liner inside the purse outer shell and then put the binding on the top.

Here are a couple of pictures

Now I gotta make the wallet and card holder etc stuff to match  (like I did with the Olive and Purple purse)   You know -- this is all Mommy and Liz's fault!!!!!  They are the ones that got me all wrapped up in sewing stuff!!  I used to only QUILT - that's it!  Now I'm always sewing something new - and it takes me a long time because I am not a VETERAN SEAMSTRESS  LOL  But I have to admit -- I am having a good time learning all this new stuff  :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ !!!

Happy Birthday today to my friend LIZ!!
Liz - We wish you weren't so far away so that we could celebrate with you in person!!!

 

Liz's Sew A Long - June - Thread Case

Ok - our assignment for June on Liz's Sew-A-Long is THREAD CASES!!!  To see all of Liz's monthly assignments and all the participants entries - go to Liz's blog  (MOMENTS)

Again - Mommy and worked together on ours! We both chose to use the coordinating fabric of our sewing TOTES (I think that was February's assignment) ...... So these would match our "traveling sewing stuff" not our sewing ROOM themes.

We both made both sizes of this pattern (Go to Susan Sews blog to see Mommy's set). I finished my smaller one over at Mommy's house yesterday and then finished up my big one at home today!

This is the big one and the small one closed

Obviously - here they are opened up  :)

This is the big one opened up

This is Mommy's ABBY - Mommy came over today while I was finishing up my big one!   Abby LIKES to pose for pictures!! It's funny when you are taking a picture of something - she always tries to get in the picture!!!!  So adorable!!  She is the softest little doggie too - pictures dont do her enough justice! She's this sweet, super soft, loves to cuddle pile of fuzz that people cant get enough of...... seriously  :)

This is Mommy's set!  HER STUFF ALWAYS...... ALWAYS - comes out better than mine!!  Same pattern - same instructions - and I even have her helping me step by step  - AND HER STUFF ALWAYS COMES OUT BETTER THAN MINE !!?!?!?!?!!  LOL  She's been sewing for a loooong time - so I guess it's understandable!  :)

THANKS AGAIN to Liz for letting me participate in her monthly Sew-A-Long - and Thanks to Mommy as always for helping me learn a new project!!!

Big Hugs everyone!

Sew A Long May Assignment

May's assignment for Liz's SEW-A-LONG was a sewing machine cover! I picked this new pink & purple fabric to do my covers and pads etc! But this is all I got done so far :) I HAD TO get one done for Liz's sew-a-long :)

I did a pink appliqué heart and then a floral center embroidery! I think I will probably do some more "tweaking" to it later - but we'll see!

Jacob & Abby

Jacob just loves his Abby! Mommy's little Abby gets NO REST when Jacob is around :) in fact he kisses her SO MUCH - we have to keep telling him "That's Enough"!! So he says it every time himself now after getting Abby Kisses - he says ok that's enough! LOL

Happy Mothers Day !!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommy's out there!! From someone who is lucky to have a GREAT MOM and who is twice as lucky to get to be Mommy to an amazing 3 year old miracle boy!! :)

Big Hugs
Amy
