{Been Busy}

I feel like I have been busy, busy, busy in my sewing room...and it sure looks it!  My goal for this weekend is to get my room organized...I keep losing things and am spending to much time looking for them.  It's never a good thing, because it just means less time sewing!
Here are some of the new projects and patterns I have been working on...patterns should be coming soon! 
 I have been working on a log cabin quilt...I have always loved the simplicity of this block.  You can make it scrappy or use just 2 colors...either way, you can never go wrong.  Just need to finish piecing a few more blocks...can't wait to see the finished project! I have loved working with this beautiful line, Tapestry by Fig Tree Quilt Co!
 My other project is making up little potholder kits using the Candy or Mini Charms from Moda.  I think precuts are the best thing ever...I love being able to sit down and sew without all the extra time cutting. Definitely a good thing!
 And then my daughter thought that, since it was Spring Break,it was an absolutely fabulous time to start a quilt!  Who could say no to that cute face!
So, we started her quilt. As I cut pieces from a Hello Luscious layer cake, she stayed busy stacking.  She loved picking the colors and loved helping sew them together.  We have finished sewing the blocks and now hoping to sew it all together this weekend.  With school back in session, along with all of the other activities and homework...not much else gets done!
