Sew Crafty Friday

posted in sewing |

This is a first for me, I’m actually working on two projects at the same time. I’m in the middle of sewing another “jelly” bag, similar to the one I have up for auction (see my auction box in my sidebar), but this morning, I couldn’t stand it anymore, I had to open up the package for block #1 of the Be Attitudes quilt that I bought. It’s a block of the month club and I’m sort of excited about it.

Now, I’ve mentioned before that I am not a quilter. So, why did I join a block of the month club? I fell in love with the finished quilt I saw at the local quilt shop! So, I am going to put my best sewing foot forward and attempt to sew these blocks together. If I can accomplish putting the blocks together, I will then ask my mom (the primary quilter in this family) to put it all together and quilt it for me. Sssshhhhh, don’t tell her! There are 12 blocks total, I currently have the first two and have not yet begun to sew. So, it will be at least December before I will be giving it to her for completing it.

This is my Sew Crafty Friday and even as I type this, my laptop is sitting on top of my cutting mat. I can’t wait to move it and get started!

    I’m sure your “best quilting foot” is very adequate to the task. It really looks like a fun project. I look forward to seeing you put it together.

    That looks like it will be beautiful. I’m not a quilter either but I want to learn.

    Hi, again! Thanks for the nice comment on the little dress I am making.
    And I’m sorry to hear your daughter wasn’t feeling well after the Chinese dinner–but glad she was over it quickly!

    That kit is so cute! I’ll have to look for one.
    I’ve made two jelly bags, with fabric to make more. They are so much fun!
