I'm working on a felt advent calendar for my 4 grandkids. They are at the perfect age to be aware of "counting down"the days as well as a treat for each day. Lot of precise cutting and I'm having fun but admit I will be glad when it's done.

Yesterday (Saturday) I never got a chance to sew, but today I will be working on a tipsy Log Cabin that I've been learning in a two part workshop. I'm enjoying this one, but usually Log Cabins give me a headache because they are SO repetitive. Just one little stick after another throughout the whole quilt. This one, because of the tipsy part, is a little more fun.

Oh, yeah, I tried to make a label for the back, but my persnickety printer refuses to print it. No worries, I will do it by hand. Earlier this week it looked like this.

Well it isn't Saturday anymore but yesterday I had a great day visiting two quilt shops that I have never been to. It was awesome!
Today I am going to work on a quilt top for my 7 year old grandson's birthday. I'm kind of cheating. He loves animals especially jungle animals and I found a panel with a lion, tiger, elephant and zebra that I know he will go crazy over. I am putting two panels together and adding a wide border.
Last week I took a class on free motion quilting so after a bit more (or maybe a lot more) practice I'll give it a try on a real quilt.
Wish me luck!

LOL...I'm working on my first Bow Tuck Purse. I'm completely out of my element! I'm using the tutorial found here, but I've struggled since the first stitch. I'm so glad I just got a new seam ripper. I accidently ripped a hole in my lining piece, realized I didn't have enough for a replacement, so I used a close substitute. My lining will be of two fabrics.
So far, I'm happy with what I've done. Hopefully, I will have it done today. I want to make several purses for Christmas presents, so this is a good learning experince.
