Inchworm Store

Sometimes I feel like this
......................................................................................................................................................................

and then I feel like doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



My husband has a little time on his hands so he is doing some work on the store, there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day for me to get around to fixing problems. Besides there have been issues that I haven't been able to fix and he is trying to get them fixed. I know he has done considerable work on the shipping charges and we think that maybe they are working right now. So if they have kept you from ordering try again it should be good.

My Newest Project

I decided with the encouragement of one of my daughters that I was going to do a project that I have wanted to do for sometime. But because it wasn't for someone or needed to get done, I haven't done it. It is a want to do project just because I liked it. After all the Christmas projects this is a relaxing change.

So what you see is the in progress of a cute pattern I saw at the local quilt store. It is a design from Eagles Nest Designs. I am using a layer cake from Moda's Civil War line. So for now that is all I am going to tell you. Stay tuned for the finished project.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A couple of years ago I gave our big tree to one of our daughters, so now we just have this little one. This year I decided to only put bells, snowflakes and silver beads on it. I left all the other decorations in the box and decided simple would be good. We are having a quiet Christmas. All our children and grandchildren are enjoying the season at their own homes. By now they should all be tucked in bed with dreams of sugar plums running through their heads.

I am very grateful for all the blessings in my life. I would like to thank all that come by and comment. May your families be blessed with health and happiness. May you have a wonderful and bountiful New Year.

Thank you for your support,
Jeanette

Christmas Table Runners

This year I was going to take it easy for Christmas... no sewing projects and limited cooking/baking... about three weeks ago my husband asks what are you making my family for Christmas? WHAT am I making? Two years ago I made Christmas tree skirts so we came up with the idea to make matching table runners... Mom (inchworm fabrics) sent me some of the snowmen panels from the store and I went to work and now 2 weeks later this is what I had there was a little left over so I made some trivets.... the limiting factors were time and material. I had to buy some new and of course I could not find the same material.... it has been two years.... so what else could I expect. The runners are 42 inches... the pictures only show half of each runner. I used the link Margaret (average quilter) suggested to make flying geese and decided I did not like the geese and so I made them into two colored diamonds... so there is a little three d affect.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!

Another Project Done!

Well I finished another project. This one was for a friend. She made the quilt top for one of her daughter-in-laws who is having a boy. The baby shower was today. I wasn't sure I was going to get it done in time. I started quilting it last night and I was having tension problems. I had to take out a couple of passes twice. Between my husband and my self I finally got it finished after lunch. Wheee don't you just hate it when a 2 hour project becomes 6 hour project. I finished it with and hour to spare before the shower.

Now I am down to the it would be nice projects but............ I don't know if I feel like doing any of them. I was thinking about doing some baking. I really just want to be lazy. Who knows lazy may win out. Have a nice weekend.

Tonights project

This is from a panel 'Makin New Friends'. It is a little large for a mug rug but it was to cute so I quilted it anyway. Maybe it can be used for a candle mat or be displayed with other panels as a wall decoration. Well so much for the fun stuff. It is time to go to bed. I have to work in the morning and I need to quilt a baby quilt for a friend tomorrow night. A person has to mix a little play amongst the work, right?

Last Nights Project: Mug Rugs

Barb told me about mug rugs Monday. Where have I been, never heard the term before that. So I decided that I was going to give it a try. I made mine reversible. I am going to make some more tonight. I like these oversized coasters or mini quilts or hot pad, what ever you want to call them. So stay tuned for the next installment.
