I got back home Wednesday and was too tired to sew, but Thursday was a good day to get back in the sewing room. Since it rained Cats and Dogs all day I was not going anywhere that involved driving, walking, swimming, or floating! Before leaving town I had prepped several projects so I was eager to get to them.
These became This and then This

A sweet mini that measures 14.5″x19″ unfinished. Just need to come up with a quilting plan. I am thinking just cross-hatch the entire thing keeping with the diagonals created by the 9 Patches set on point.

4 pillowcases for Damar, an organization our Guild supports that deals with boys who have autism. I hope they love the sea creatures!
These became These to be added to These
I only needed 6 blocks for my Mystery BOM, but these Flying Geese Pinwheels were difficult to choose fabrics for, needing to have a good contrast. I hit it on some, failed on others, but I am going with what I got! The one I thought I would love the most shows the least contrast. Green one on the upper left. But I just didn’t have a lighter green I could use.
In the knitting area Chain is halfway done, but it’s a black cabled hat, no picture will show its pattern. Fallen Cloud is on 5/6 skeins!!! The end is drawing near! It still looks the same, only longer.
Diva came over last night and I gave her the Poof hat, she loves it. Portia, her youngest Husky, kept trying to grab the Poof! Diva brought me my Birthday present. She knows me well! But I’ve been good, I’ve only eaten 3 of the cookies. I haven’t bought these lately, because I devour them! The rule is, only 3 at a time. Sure, that might mean 3 times an hour, but who’s counting?

Hi Chris! It sounds like Happy Birthday is in order. It sounds like you’ve had a fabulously productive week with lots of things being repurposed into new quilty goodness. Those cookies look lethal and very, very good. Enjoy and stay warm! ~smile~ Roseanne
LOL, actually my birthday was Jan 9th, she’s just a little slow. It’s been a good week, even if I was out of town two days! > >
You’ve been busy!
Yep, busy having fun!!! > >
If the boys don’t like the sea creatures, send them my way. I love anything to do with the ocean! I would love to have just about anything made with that fabric.
I don’t think they’ll be turned away! LOL

Great projects–the cookies are a fun treat!
Thanks! Yes, the cookies are too much fun! Fun that will go right to my hips. LOL > >
You’ve been busy! Everything is great. The boys will love the pillowcases:)
Don’t you love getting spoiled by people who know what you love on your birthday.
Thanks! I’ve been having fun!

I love your mini quilt – such yummy, seasonal colors! I would have a hard time staying away from those cookies, too – but I’m sure birthday gifts have no calories! 🙂
Thanks! I haven’t even tried to stay away from them!! 😂😂

All your sewing projects look great 🙂 Those sea creature pillow cases are awesome! What a nice charity to support, as well!
Thanks! The pillowcases are so quick and easy to make! The others are just as much fun!

Woo Whooo for productivity! I love that little mini quilt. Cross hatching will be perfect on this one.
I am learning to not discount cross-hatching. The next top will use cross-hatch and hopefully some designs in other places. I am leaning! > >
Progress bit by bit soon becomes a finish!
So true! And then everything is done in quick succession!
