Sewing projects.........

I have not posted on here since Christmas. Wow, well just shows that I have not done a whole lot. I have got back into sewing somewhat. I posted a few projects on my Bluebell Woods blog because I was thinking of closing this one. It just seemed like there was nothing going on to post here.
Well, now there is.
I found that I had a pattern, so simple that it is, for hot pads to hold soup bowls in the microwave.


They are getting easier to make now.


I do believe I will make quite a few of these. I can give them away. I will also be making hot pad mats. Things to put on the counter to put hot dishes on. I have loads of thermolene and can use that for pot holders too and lunch bags.
Talking of bags. I made a bag to put Emily's baby shower gift in. She loved it and wanted another so I had more fairy fabric and just enough for another bag.


This week I think I will get the pillow cases that I made for Teal in the mail. I made her a tote bag that I got finished today. So once the storm blows out and the roads are clear I will get those in the mail.

I put the straps on the inside and have double sewn the seams. I hope its strong enough.



Well in order to match fabrics the pile on the table just got bigger. The fabric I have now in the cabinet are larger pieces and so I would like to use up all these scraps.


I have the fabric set for 3 quilts and two of them are half done. So those will probably be next. I will have to have Edna come and help me when its time to tie them. I want to tie at least two of them. My friend Barb who is the long arm quilter goes away for Winters now. She won't have time for my stuff so I have to learn to do it myself.
The Quilts I have finished by tying have lasted well so why not. Just got to remember how.
