Whoop Whoop!

I don't have a Friday Finish, but I do have something to Whoop about! 

 

Lookie what I got!

 

 

 

Manufacturer: Riley Blake Designs

Designer: October Afternoon

Collection: Sasparilla
Purchased from FabricFly.com

 

Sweet Sadie Mae* will be getting a new quilt!

 

(Her real name is Sadie Lynn* but Gamma's get to call babies whatever they want, right?)

 

And the BabyGurl is getting close to leaving Babydom (though she will always be my Baby Gurl!)

 

Happy 29th! 

 

I've had her purse done forever, but couldn't share because she reads my blog!

 

 

A New Custom Project ...

The person I made the custom pillow covers for last week has given me a new project. 

 

She is an elementary teacher and is going to decorate her room.

 

Today she brought me fabrics for valances (the aqua and the print).  She also included a picture a fellow teacher's room for an example of what she wants (see last photo).

 

She also brought fabric for chair pouches (and an example shown below).  These will be made from the green and navy fabric.  I've put the sample on a couple of 2x4's here for this picture, but these slip over the back of the students chairs, with a pocket for holding some of their supplies. 

 

These two projects should keep me busy until my fabric order (that I placed just this morning) comes in. 

 

Sadie will be getting a quilt made from the new Sasparilla collection. 

 

It's ok, I can tell you that because her Mommy and Daddy don't read my blog.  However, I can't share it on Facebook!

 

Yes, I'll be stalking the mailman ... again!

 

And I'll be at our local Hancock Fabrics Saturday (they are having a big sale) to get the fabric for Gabbie's birthday present (October). 

 

Shhhhhh, don't tell her, she is going to get a "Roll Tide" quilt!

 

No!  I do not have a fabric addiction.  Yet.  But I'm well on my way!

 

I almost forgot!  The co-worker's granddaughter who got the custom purse last week, wondered if perhaps her two dolls could have purses as well.  So I'll be fashioning some tiny pink/green purses for Isabella and Josephine!

Welcome To The World!

We now interrupt this blog for a non-sewy announcement!

Welcome to the world Miss Sadie Lynn ....

8 lbs 11 oz .... 20 3/4 inches .... 9:35 pm July 12, 2013.

Except for a few minutes for the first feeding, Papa didn't want to let go of her.  I hope to get to spend some 'quality time' with her tomorrow.  

I'm Ready ....

Well, almost ready ...... I still need to get a table in my 'new sewing room' (aka teeny tiny bedroom).

 

These fabrics arrived today!

Here is a better idea of what they look like.

 

 

And this is what I am going to do with them!

  

 

Come on along!

Custom Order - Friday Finish

A co-worker had asked me about making some pillow covers for her daughter.  Her daughter is in her first apartment and bought a new sofa, and she doesn't like the throw pillows that came with the sofa.  So she picked out some fabrics and brought them to me and I made the covers.

 

This is a pic of the fabrics, and the beige is the color of the sofa (it's actually the back of one of the pillows). 

These are the completed pillow covers.

 

I actually made two covers from each fabric, but I only had one of her pillows (for measuring) so I couldn't take a 'group shot' of them.  I'm going to ask her if once she has them all on her pillows and on the sofa she will send me a pic. 

 

They are a Friday Finish because I stayed up to get them done last night because I didn't want to wait all the way til Monday to give them to her.  Of course, I did not know that she was going to be off today, so now I have to wait til Monday anyway.  (But hey, it got me a post for a Friday Finish!)

 

Please remember to check out all the great folks that I love to link to in my right-hand sidebar to see other cool projects!
