When Thoughts of Fancy Turn to Sewing Weekend...

Can I be forgiven for not wanting to do anything that feels like work today?

Wisconsin springs are wonderful, gorgeous, distracting...  after all that winter seems like it's finally GONE...

 and the grass starts coming back and the trees start to fill out again...

 and the sun starts to shine and give actual WARMTH...

 

And my back yard bushes start to turn...

 



Thoughts turn to riding yellow school buses in Beaver Dam!

 Seriously, Sewing Weekend is only EIGHT DAYS AWAY!

 

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.  I've marked my catalog for the things I want to look at, and marked the ads for the bargains and when they're featured.  I have my tickets, my hotel room, my sewing weekend accomplice and my budget is set.

 

You know you want to go... you should!  What's keeping you away? 

 

Sew on...

Preschool Quilt

I finished up the Little Lambs quilts over the weekend, working Friday night and a part of Saturday.  I got them pressed, made bindings and hanging sleeves, and put them in plastic bags with their respective backings.  On Sunday I took them to church intending to give them to Suzi for quilting, but she's got pneumonia!  And she's taking it easy this week, only going to work four days instead of five... lol!

Since Suzi is obviously under the weather, Barb volunteered to take one of the quilts home to finish.  I asked her which she'd like, and she said "the purple one"... so purples and greens went home with her.    The other one will go to Suzi when she feels just a little better.


I had eleven squares, so I filled the blank one with a lamb.  At least I hope it looks like a lamb!



Wow, funny how those stripes appear in this picture...

Sent this one home with Barb for her to quilt...

The rest of the weekend was spent baking and knitting.  Miss A came over to help make heart shaped cookie pops.



We filled the special pans with dough and added the sticks, then baked.



You have to clean up after yourself...



The verdict was "Yum".

We wrapped the rest and she took some home for the family.

 

Here's what to look for if you want to make some of your own heart shaped cookie treats!

Bake on...
