WIP Wednesday: Must get sewing...

She finished binding it!You may have noticed a flurry of blog activity, but not much sewing actually taking place. Yep, sometimes that happens. I've been sick. We have had company. The weather has been gorgeous. I cannot sit inside while it is 65. In January (and now February!). In Virginia!  Project: Fit into my jeans has been moving along, as has Project: Clean my house. Down to the nitty gritty stuff (um, like my corner of the living room currently COVERED in WIP projects).

Good news. A finish, though not technically mine! My sister finished binding the quilt she pieced while she was here.. has to be some sort of record! For the record, I think she picked the perfect binding out of my stash. Maybe we will make her a quilter yet. She makes her own dresses, mostly without patterns. THAT is impressive! Thanks for the iphone pic, Em!

Another finish! A cute ballet bag for one of my favorite little friends, that somehow didn't get the corner's boxed. Perhaps I did it on purpose? I made it for Christmas and well, it was just delivered :)
And now for my WIP projects? This week I hope to get my do.Good Stitches quilt quilted. But then that requires mopping my kitchen floor. :) And maybe work on a quilt for my husband (hopefully he isn't reading this. This particular quilt has been in progress for 18 months... and is so old I doubt anyone has even seen it/remember seeing it before, unless you have been at the DC Modern meetings where I have agonized over it!)

Finally--today is the start of the Simply Charmed Blog Hop. A Valentine's Day-ish tutorial every day for almost 2 weeks! Head over to Melissa's to see her apron tutorial (and to comment on her post--the grand prize winner of a $200 gift certificate will be chosen from those comments!) Happy Wednesday, everyone.

  2. Is your husband Ute Alumni?? We love the Utes in our house as my husband is alumni as well and I grew up in SLC, hence, you just become a fan of the U :)
