Too Darn Hot!!

Hope everyone is holding up well in this brutal weather. I have sequestered myself in the AC and have not budged. Otherwise I am like the Wicked Witch of the West when she has water thrown on her.

Yep, that's me alright.

So I've been doing a lot of sewing, very little writing, some fooling around with my blogs.

Here are some of the projects I've been working on:

A new pin cushion. I made it out of an old pot, embroidered some bees onto felt and then glued the felt around the edges.

Finished this quilt:

The marvelous, hand dyed fabric came from Ruby Mountain Dye Works, an Etsy shop based in Georgia.  Fantastic colors and a warm, personable proprietor make these fabrics irresistible.
 
Working on a few other quilts, including this one for Madailein, in a double Irish chain pattern:

Madailein is teething something awful and I found these dolls on line that babies can safely chew on.  So, copy cat that I am, I made my own versions:

I made some with fleece and some with flannel.  I made up the pattern, so they are all different shapes and sizes.  I sewed on little hearts but in the picture right now when I looked at it the yellow hearts look horrifyingly like Yellow Stars.  I might have to rethink that little detail.

I made some bags too.  The one I made for myself turned into a much bigger project than I had imagined.  And it is large enough to carry a small child in.

I made a glasses case and cell phone holder to match:

 

If only I knew where my actual cell phone was.

And here's another, for a friend:

Finally, I have changed my signature because the old one with the pencil was just looking tired.

Stay cool everyone!!
