Sanity Saving Sewing Sessions

I've had lots of time to spend in the sewing room over the last week.  Here's what I've been up to:

--COMPLETE--

--IN PROGRESS--

Happy Hippo Stenciling (new!)

I showed you a sneak peak of this last Friday.  Just a little something I was playing with using the reverse stenciling. 

I put two pieces of fabric together, both facing up, stitch a design (in this case a hippo), and then cut out the inner hippo part to let the second fabric show through.  It's a really fun technique and I am enjoying working with it!

Crewel Spring Flowers

I picked this project back up because it's so easy to take it anywhere in the house and have been addicted (again) ever since.

Doesn't the yarn horse look great with the light shining through?

Here is a quick look at the whole piece -- soon to be pillow.  I have four flowers left to go... more than half way now!

And here is a closer look at the ones I have finished.  So hard to pick a favorite.  Which one is your favorite?

--ON PAUSE--

Star Struck

Star quilt-a-long by Melissa at Happy Quilting.

I am still deciding what size to make and haven't started any stars yet, but at least I have all my fabrics now and I am getting close to cutting!

{Insert Name Here}: Bottled Rainbows {ticker tape quilt-along}

I am looking froward to getting back to this one, but decided I needed a finish, so this one was put aside. 

Big Blue

Still waiting for one last sashing row to be cut out and attached. 

Still thinking about putting a border on this one as well.

X Marks the Spot

Haven't started quilting this yet. 

I need to clean off my desk and just give this a go!
