I am looking forward to a long 3 day weekend and it will start today at 12:00 noon!
My yard work is slowing down some now after a few weeks of being very busy in that area. I still have lots of things I'd like to get done in the yard, but will work on them as I can. Almost daily watering will be needed, at least until some of the newer plants get established.
Now that the hot weather is upon us, I hope to spend more time in my sewing room. After work and cooking supper last night I made this clothespin bag. It seems that when I make several of these for my Etsy Shop, they sit there for a few weeks, then all of a sudden they all sell in a few days time. So I would like to make a few more of these to restock.
I have a couple of quilting projects in progress that I would like to work on. There are two baby boy scrap quilt tops in my basket that are ready to be quilted. I hope to make the quilt sandwich for these and prepare them for machine quilting. I also am soon expecting a new baby nephew and want to start a special quilt for him. Also, there is the wedding gift quilt that I planned last year that I want to work on, even though the couple was married in January!
Other sewing projects I want to work on are these great tutorials for a GOOFY DOLL, these PILLOW CASES and this TRAVEL CAR MAT.
I am also wondering if I should start this Postage Stamp Quilt Along, even though it has been going on for a few months. One can never have too many quilts in progress!
Oh well, half the joy in sewing, gardening, and homemaking.... is the dreams!
Happy Friday!

I agree you can never have too many UFOs. Have a great weekend.

I just learned about the pillow case method, it is also called sausage roll pillow case and there is a good video how on on youtube.
Lucky girl! Getting an early start on the weekend! Have a good one.

You are going to be busy, busy, busy! I bought a cute little pillowcase from Goodwill that looks like someone made it. It fits a small travel pillow perfectly (or a kid's pillow).If I can remember I'll take a pic. for you. I keep it in my car... love it! I hope you will do the postage stamp quilt along and then gift it to me. LOL It is beautiful!!!
Debbie, I love that Mary Engelbreit fabric! Right now I'm working on a quilt top with 3 inch fussy cuts from it. Yellow, blue and red really make the colors "pop"!
I was excitedly telling my husband about a quilt I want to make, while the one I'm working on is not quite finished, and I have a table runner in progress too. He said, "One quilt at a time, dear!" and I just laughed! LOL I told him he didn't understand the world of quilting if he thought just one at a time was enough! ;) I'm sewing the binding on the back of my very first quilt finish tomorrow. I'm so excited!
