It's February!

As always when the month ends and another starts you always ask yourself...where did the time go?

I made a little progress on my January UFOs.  I am hoping to finish up this weekend and I'll show pictures then.

What's the number for February?



And what is that for me?

 The Sunflower Quilt/Wall Hanging was on last year's UFO list.  So I am determined to get it done this year
We put the Bomber Jacket on hold last year because Madden was little and I wasn't sure if the parents were still in love with it.  Well I mentioned it last night and they are excited.  Lilac was the color of choice and wouldn't you know it..that is in my stash!!


Look at this jacket... doesn't it just scream cuteness, specifically in lilac, light grey and light green?

Or how about this little piece of cuteness?


Light purple with grey accent?



I also decided to do a more practical challenge this year.  I am going to try the 2018MakeNine challenge.  Basically throughout the year you will make 9 outfits that can be a staple in your wardrobe.  I have bought so much fabric from NY when I have visited and I really have not done very much with them.  And last November I had ordered from three shops and all I have done is moved the fabric from the box to the shelf.  I've got some patterns picked out and hopefully I can blog about this soon.

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Sewing interruptions

Sometimes the sewing needs to get put aside for real life.  This is one of those times. My husband and I have lately been maniacs about our house remodel.  Early this year, what started out to be painting walls ended up in a total remodel of our upstairs... New doors, bathroom sinks, new bathroom floor, kitchen countertops, stained cupboards, kitchen tile etc etc It took us 7 months.  I thought we would take a break.  He wanted to redo the landscape in the front.   So out can 25 yr old bushes, a basketball goal etc etc I thought we would take a break.  Now we are repainting our house...in July...when the heat index is 110!! The mister clearly needs to leave town and quickly...  please someone call a water conference ASAP!!!

Book Shelf Retirement Quilt

Another woman is retiring from the library.  Mary has been a large part of the library quilting group and has been involved in so many retirement quilts for others.  So many of the original library quilting group have retired and she was basically one of the last ones left.  Three of us from the library along with three others who work on campus or are retired librarians decided to work on a quilt for her.  And now that it is her turn and we wanted to make her something really nice.We know she wanted a book shelf quilt and we used this pattern to make her one: Everyone used the same background fabric and we used our stash to make the bookends.  When I put them together, the scrappiness of all the bookends gave the quilt such a wonderful look.  The sashing in between the blocks was used to have colleagues sign and leave messages of farewell and good luck for Mary.  I made three of the blocks for this quilt.  The first block in on the second ...
