Got Twins?

I don't, but I am hoping someone in Japan does!  I played in my first sew-along, but in my traditional style I had to change it slightly.  Like the fact that I was unable to sew-along for the three days, but I was able to stay up and finish them in one night.  Oh, and I wanted to do onesies, but did not want to scale the pattern down.  That resulted in complimenting onesies.  So without further mumblings, here are my version of Chloe & Mieko!

Aren't they adorable.  Check out this post to see other versions....

Tropical Joy

 This is not your grandmother's chenille blanket.  There is a great tutorial at Aesthetic Nest.  Here are some pictures of the process.

 After several hours and a spool and a half of thread I finally had all my lines sewn. 

 Here you can see the channels being cut.  I think is looks like rows of crops,

 Or waves in the sea.

 The above picture is what I had finished when it was time to get the big girl from school.

 The binding is done.  Now it needs to be washed.

 After being washed and dried it looks like rows of rainbow sherbet.

It was fun, easy and time consuming to make, but I will definitely be making another one.  

Meet George

My grandfather named all monkeys George and I have carried that on.  So, here is George.  He finished the quilt top and now I just need to quilt and bind it. 

On another note, there are a few more canopies in my ETSY store.

First Date

Since I brought Willie G. home to live with me I thought we better see how well we get along.  Tonight was our first date.  He kept me out way too late, but we had a great time.  Here is what we made together.

And to think that it all started with this.  I do see this relationship lasting a really long time.

Who wants to play?

I found this great sew-along that benefits the children in Japan and figured it was something I could do.  I am planning on participating, will you???  Good cause, cute pattern, and sewing.  What else could you want???

Imagine

Yes, that's right.  I was given a Baby Lock Imagine.

 Isn't he handsome.  This is Willie G.  (people name their cars, laptops and such so I figured I could name my serger).  And he came with the cabinet, but I had to paint it black.  (wink wink)

 Oh, Willie G. also came with 44, count them, 44 spools of thread.

I also received a boat load of buttons, but I will save the pictures for another time.

Thank You Grandma!
