Snowy Weekend

Friday was a snow day…got the day off work and the whole weekend at home, so I have time for sewing and cross country skiing in the neighborhood.

I’ve been wanting to make a lanyard for the name badge I wear at quilt guild meetings.  Picked up the findings at Joanns and some sewing themed fabric from my stash.  Here’s the online tutorial I used: http://www.genxquilters.com/2013/03/10-minute-sewing-project-how-to-sew.html

I think it turned out great!  I guess I could have figured out a way to make it adjustable, but it works as something simple for now.  Can I make one for you? Check out the Shop page for more details.

Here’s the view outside my window above the sewing table this afternoon.  So peaceful!

Patriotic quilt

A member of my quilt guild is looking for patriotic quilts to display at the North Plains Library this spring. I’m going to enter this table runner / small wall hanging.  It would be fun to see my work hanging up in a public display!

At the Machine

Sometimes I sew at home, but it’s also fun to travel to sew with others.  I enjoy sharing this hobby with my mom (and using her large kitchen island as a place to pin projects).  It’s also fun to go to a quilt guild event or quilt store to sew with others.  Once in awhile, my friends get together and we have Piece and Quiet, a time to do whatever hobby/project you want in community with others (and bonus, we get DQ blizzards at the end of the night!)

WQG December Meeting

The Westside Quilt Guild December Meeting gave me a chance to get to know more people in this group of creative quilters.  The tables were creatively decorated with fat quarters and ornaments.
