I went to a baby shower yesterday. I made several of these tiny fleece blankets for carseat covers. It was a wonderful shower. Lots of fun food, and even a little wine. Lots of people I hadn't seen for a while.

I am finishing up some scrap sewing today. I want to get a little cleaned out of the scrap bags before I start sewing on my new projets. The flip flop quilt. Hmmmmmmmm, gluten free cresent rolls. Very yummy. I was really missing cresent rolls. So this recipe was quite nice. I put cheese and chili in them. I had to fight Kevin for them.

I made some plain, they were very good also. That's what I miss the most, is nice soft rolls.

Hope everyones weekend was nice, Kevin is working on my new air conditioning system. Kev is all excited about the lower electricity rates, I am more excited that I will be getting 2 new closets. Yahoo, the systems are going in the attic. So I get 2 full size closets. Kevin has given me a clock of 1 month. yahoo, that means I get to sew quietly so I am out of his way. I can't wait to clean up my sewing room.

Flip Flop Block

This is the fabric I am thinking of starting one with. I will probably do the blue. I really should do the pink, I have 3 boy quilts ready for quilts, but no girl quilts.

Who has seen this neat little template? I just got it Friday. I didn't buy the pattern book. Now I wish I had. If anyone has made this quilt, please leave a comment of how you liked working with the templates.

I think I will just make the curved blocks until I can make it to town to and buy the pattern books. They have several other templates that I would love to try.

I finished 2 of these today. They are also for Christmas. You put crayons in it, roll it up, and tie it. Cute, quiet way to keep crayons together for little ones. I think I tested this one for a digitizer. I have made probably a hundred of these over the years. Makes great little presents for little ones. I have even given some to teenagers in cool prints with hugh coloring books.

Christmas top

I once saw cute little pins with numbers on them, I wanted some. Not too crazy about the price. So I made my own. I love it. I don't have a problem keeping my little stacks straight to sew. But I like to keep my rows numbered to keep them straight. I sewed this one on my serger, so I really don't want to unsew. I know lots of quilters cringe when I say I sew some quilts on my serger. My I love it, fast, super strong seams, and I have never had a problem quilting it.

Christmas top

This one is a little challenging to put together. I had one square of some fabrics, and 25 of others. It was hard to get a good mix, I just finally did the best I could. Really fun to sew, little stressful to layout, easy to iron. It won't be a very big quilt.

New starts

I bought this bundle years ago, then I chopped off little strips for baby quilts to add color. So I really didn't know how big the quilt will be. I did have a few charms that someone had given me. It was quite fun making this one. I usually make scrappy ones, lots of ironing and sorting, and straightening . This was all in one little basket, just had to do a little ironing, and little cutting.

Don't know if I should count this as a new start since most of the squares just needed a little trimming down. This will be a Christmas present. Yes, I know, I will be finishing it Christmas Eve.

Here's 2 cute drawer sachets I made on my embroidery machine. The little square pillow is a freebie from S.W.A.K. I love their designs. I just bought some snowflakes from them, and I will show them soon.

I can't remember where I got the little cutie baby.

I was hoping to free motion quilt today, but we are having a big supper at our house tomorrow. So I am busy cooking turkey, rice dressing, cornbread dressing, potatoe casserole. Can't wait.
