A few things to share this week.
I've committed to join a quilt-along with Polly (see button in my right sidebar). The first thing is picking out and purchasing our fabrics. There's still plenty of time for you to join, check out the first post here.
These are the fabrics I have ordered from Sisters And Quilters. I'll be stalking the mailman again!
I completed a custom order today for a co-worker's granddaughter. Said granddaughter picked out her fabrics and brought them to me.
I also have another custom order to complete this week. Another co-worker's daughter has moved into her first apartment and needs pillow covers. Daughter bought fabric and brought it to me, I will be making envelope back type pillow covers.
These are the two fabrics she chose (the beige is the sofa).

And, today I got Gabbie's bed moved from the small bedroom, to the large bedroom (which is also her playroom) so now I can start setting up the small bedroom for a sewing room! Yay!
And ... when Baby Brother came to help move the bed, he says he has a dining table I can use as long as I need it (which of course will be forever unless he decides he wants it back!) He says he hasn't used it for anything but a catch-all in years (if he eats at home he eats in the living room in front of the tv).
Hoping to get it set up soon (maybe this weekend if Baby Brother can deliver the table for me). It will be wonderful to have a dedicated space that doesn't have to be picked up, moved, put out of reach of little hands. I can just close the door and leave everything ready to use.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Linking up with Fabric Tuesday and Show And Tell Tuesday and WIP Wednesday and Needle And Thread Thursday.
