Twin shirts

One of my friends has twins.  I saw shirts that had these saying on it.  So I HAD to make it for her girls.

The first set are actually black, with purple glitter

I meant to use a different font, but I forgot :/ But I did these in glow in the dark vinyl.

One of my husband's cousins recently had twins.  And so I decided to make her some onesies for her twins.

I love having my cricut and all the fun things I am able to do with them!

Sewing cats

I have been having a lot of help in my sewing room.

Minnie loves sitting on my ironing board (especially after I have ironed something!)

She is just too cute for words!

Earl for once was not sitting in front of my machine ;)

Beer quilt with the kitties

I am not sure how I get anything done without these two!  Minnie helped me trim the quilt so I could put the binding on it.

See, it isn't going anywhere with her sitting on it!

Earl was making sure it would be warm enough for Scott.

Once he decided it would be warm enough, he decided to help hold it down as I put binding on it.  He was not too happy when I had to move him!

Fabric shelves

I have posted pictures of my sewing space before (here)

I had some large plastic shelves that I had rubbermaid totes that my fabric was in.  It felt big and intruding, and I wanted to have more space, AND be able to see my fabric.

So Scott bought me these lovely shelves from IKEA.  It is a Billy Bookcase. 

I have bought some mini bold boards, and have been wrapping my fabric.  I had put some on the first bookshelf I bought, but pulled most of them to put them here.  On the other shelf I am putting all what I guess would be called Novelty fabrics, character fabrics, etc.

I love how it looks!! Hopefully it has enough room for all my fabric!

Easy press mini

My mother in law gets me the BEST Christmas presents! My favorite gift was a new LED lightbulb for my featherweight.  It's so nice to have, and nice to not burn my finger!

One of the gifts she got me was this, a Cricut easy press mini.  I haven't really been too interested in getting an easy press because I have a heat press.

I wasn't too sure how much or often I would use this, since it's so small (and adorable!)

But it is VERY handy when I am doing my little blocks, or working on my wristlets and I just need to get in a small space.

It's also nice because you have to push a button to turn it on, so my cats won't be able to accidentally turn it on if they knock it over!

Thread chicken

Well that was one game of thread chicken I lost!

For those that don't know, thread chicken is where you are nearing the end of your spool of thread, and you try to finish whatever you have before your thread runs out.

No worries! I have plenty of thread left, but I was hoping to finish the spool and the project at the same time!

Design Wall Monday

It is a design wall Monday!! And I have something newish to share.  Newish only because I haven't done anything with it in FOREVER.  Not sure if there is a reason why, but I spent sometime over the weekend cleaning up my sewing room and found it.  And decided it needs to be finished!

I realized I never shared a picture of this while I was working on it.

These are fabrics I have had for YEARS.  I have used these HST in another project, I decided to use them here in a pinwheel design.

More organization

I have decided I wanted new shelves in my sewing room. I found this book shelf on Facebook market place. So I’ve started putting fabric on it. (I have more shelves in it now).

I want to be able to see what I have instead of it hiding in Rubbermaid totes.

Beer quilt - done!

I finished the Beer quilt!! Scott was very happy with it.  But he said it was so big he couldn't even hold it up! (Just to give you a little frame of reference, Scott is 6'5"!) so we took it to his parents so he dad could help him hold it up.

It was windy and this was about the best I could do.

Here is a close up picture of the finished quilt
