Whatcha Working on Wednesday


Good morning and happy Wednesday.  I am back to my old self again.  Feeling great after my surgery and ready to tackle new projects.  I have soooo many things on my to-do list today.  I just wanted to share my crafty one's with you. 

First are these snowmen ornies.  I made them from an Alysroom pattern and they are so adorable don't you think?  I am a member of the Trim-A-Limb ornament club. We create handmade ornaments all year round and sell them at craft shows and open houses during the Christmas season.  So much fun!!  Well I have 4 of these little guys made up and I will be starting on some more today.



I am almost finished with Nicole's patchwork quilt (the one made with a lot of her toddler outfits and favorite fabrics).  I started blind stitching the binding closed last night while watching last year's season finale of Lost.  BTW can't wait til next Tuesday.  Lost returns....YAY.

Well since I am leaving the binding for something to do while watching night-time tv, I decided to start working on Andrew's quilt.  He loves dogs...I mean loves them.  So of course what theme did he want for his quilt?  Dogs, lol.  The front is a patchwork design with his favorite colors (red and blue) with a few "dog squares" mixed in. 



This is the backing fabric. So cute!  I will be sewing the strips together later today.



Well Andrew and I are heading out to story time at the library after lunch.  They meet every Wednesday for an 11 week session.  It's great to get Andrew together with other children and he absolutely loves Miss Anita.  He even told her so last time, lol.  I like it because I get a half hour to myself, looking for books, magazines or just roaming around the mansion (yes our library is a mansion).  lol.  Gotta love old historic towns right?

Have a great day and make sure to visit Leslie's blog to see what everyone else is working on today.  Take care.

As a snowman lover, I can honestly say I love those little guys!!
And as for your quilt...WoW! I envy all of you that can sew to make these wonderful quilts.
Before I die I will learn to sew...I just have to!

Happy to hear that you're back to feeling like normal :)

The snowmen are very cute!

Great progress on the quilt so far, too! I'm happy to see that others are into the patchwork thing, too. I feel like I'm obsessed with it and like to know I'm not alone :D

Have a great rest of your day :)
