Friday Night Sew-In - Blue and Successful!

I had a lot of fun last night and made a lot of progress too. 

Ohhhh... and just look at this neat shot I was able to take this morning.  It's the top on the floor with the sun shining through the window and just lighting up a square of it.  Coolness!!


So, let's back up for a second and see what I did.  I wanted a pattern that was simple to really just show off the solids.  I will tell you more about it on Work In Progress Wednesday. 

Here is a pile of blocks recently turned to a row. I added a navy linen sash.  I'm enjoying working with linen.  It's very soft, has great color personality, and really adds a nice texture to the solids!  I also used the navy linen in between the blocks. 



Here is the first row together and sashed.  It's the bottom row of the quilt.  Looks great! 

Took everything to keep the pups out of the picture.  And yet, they still managed to slip a toy in. 


I sewed and ironed, and sashed, and repeated six times.   I spent special attention on the how everything was lining up and couldn't be happier with how it's coming together.  (sorry it's a bit blurry)


These six rows are to be half the quilt -- so far.  I need to think about the size again once the top is together and I am probably going to be adding an additional border or two to make it a bit bigger.

And this is the reason that I didn't get any better daylight pictures.  Yes, it was sunny and amazing today and we ran outside .... stat! 


Hope you are having a great weekend and that you do a lot of what you enjoy most!

Friday Night Sew-In - In Full Swing Here

I have a certain stack of blue fabrics that are being sewn, sewn, sashed, and sewn tonight. Bliss!! 


That's what a Friday Night Sew-In is all about. You make it possible for tons of uninterrupted sewing time for yourself!


Handmade by Heidi


And yes, of course my quality control sweeties are on sight and fully performing quality control activities.  Isn't their tandem sleeping adorable?


I'd like to re-introduce my Senior Quality Controller, Katie -- the four year old golden retriever.  She's a super goldie and has always been very interested in my sewing laying on my fabric.


This is Sammy.  She is currently interning with us to be a Quality Controller Jr.  At only four months old she is off to a wiz-bang start and I see a lot of potential in her future!


I have really been enjoying the Pets on Quilts show being hosted by SewCalGirl and thought it would be fun to introduce you to my two furry babies who often keep me company while my machine hums along.  Make sure you go and check out all the other furry and not so furry dolls!




See you back tomorrow when we will look at how all this sewing time is paying off! Bliss!!

Fireworks

Surviving an explosive week = happiness!

Happy Friday! Mr Happy took these pictures for me at a 4th of July fireworks display. It's been a crazy week, but it feels good to be at the end and realize I survived another one!
