More Little Somethin'

My daughter-in-law came to visit us this weekend. She is married to my oldest, who is deployed over in Afganistan, leaving her alone. She's about 3 hours away, so she came to visit. We went shopping, and she picked up some clothes for her upcoming vacation. But a couple of these things need some alterations. While I was working on these alterstions, I needed to use some straight pins (something I don't use while quilting) and discovered I needed a pin cushion! I had to find my pins and they were in a tin container. So, since I had just made some coasters for my sewing room, and had some scraps left over, I wanted a pincushion to match!

So I went here and made a simple four patch pincushion, that matches my four patch coaster! Whohoo!

A Little Somethin'

I been busy with getting the Etsy shop up, making stuff to sell, and not wanting to keep boring you with the same stuff....

I spent a couple of minutes and made two each of the following coasters. A pair for me and a pair for hubby. I put one of mine by my sewing machine and the other is on my work table. I had some pathetic christmas ones that had been in use for about two years. I just kept using them because they were handy and were doing the job. I'm not sure about everyone else, but it's rare that I take the time to just do something special for myself? And of course I felt that if I was getting new coasters, I wanted to make some for hubby! We're hopless, but that's what makes them love us:)

Any whohow, I am one happy camper with my lovely pink floral girlie coaster! And hubby is liking his manly man camo coaster!

First 2012 "Finished" Project

Well, I finally have a completed project for 2012. This is the "Gone Fishin'" baby quilt for a co-worker. I will have to say, this is the first time I have used binding of the same fabric as the outer border. I am truely suprised that I really like it, and will most likely do more this way, maybe even start making it my signature look.

So, I gave it to her today, and she loved it!

Now back to my many BOM's and Club blocks I'm working on for the year.
