Cache needs a quilt

My cute "neice" and her husband are expecting a baby in a few weeks.. so Auntie Joyce had to get busy. They told me it was going to be a boy so I decided to get busy and make a new quilt for "Cache" (hope the name stays because that is what I am going to name this new quilt pattern). I found the cutest airplane fabric at one of my favorite quilt shops... American Quilting in Orem, Utah. This was a quick and easy quilt to make. I am working on the pattern..so hopefully it will be published soon!

I also made this bag.. it is a Sue Spargo pattern called Victoria Bag. I used upolstery fabrics and I did the wool applique. It was so much fun and surprisingly easy to put together. I am in the process of making some other bags.. I will try to share pictures later.

Girl Gang 2008/09

I have been working on my Girl Gang quilt for 2008/2009! I love it! I have made a few changes to the pattern because I wanted to include a few of my favorite things.. and of course that would be my dogs.. (as you can tell a couple have gone on to doggie heaven). It is nice to be doing some fun easy applique again! I got a shot in my elbow this week and I am determined to do some sewing! I hope I didn't put too many pictures in here.. I sure am having fun! I can't figure out how to do the spacing correctly here in the blogging world.. but it won't stop me.

I also made an apron today! Thought you might like a peek!

No Needle in over a Week

I have not been sewing at all and it is totally driving me crazy! I wonder what people do who don't QUILT.. I am at a loss for words! I have never been bored.. because I have always had plenty of projects to keep me busy.. I promised my Doc. I would take it easy for the next few weeks after the Christmas rush and rest my arm. My sister did take me to Las Vegas for a few days and spoiled me rotten.. here is a picture of my bedroom and bathroom.. she booked a suite so I could have my own space and relax in the tub; while watching tv.

Everyone needs a sister like mine!
