Christmas Eve

I'm super excited that it is Christmas Eve because I will soon be able to post some of the lovely items that I made as gifts this Christmas. I didn't get to do us much sewing as last year, but I think the recipients will appreciate what I have created.

Two days ago I made another jaunt to the fabric warehouse in Osan. I could spend hours in that place! Here are some pics of the loot. I need to think of some great ideas for these items.



I think I will use the fabrics below for a new quilt. I will need to start searching for a design to use.

Work in Progress

This weekend was spent shopping for fabric in Osan and working on my pink, orange and green quilt. I went with several ladies to the Happy Quilt Warehouse to purchase fabric. We did have a goal in mind as the evening sewing group is going to work on a sampler quilt. I wasn't really sure if I would participate, but I figured...why not?!I finally decided on doing a disappearing nine-patch. I don't know if I'm doing it exactly how it is meant to be done, but I'm making it how I want it. So far I like how it is turning out. I also picked up some really cute Halloween Fabric designed by Riley Blake. I think I may make some household things with it and maybe not a quilt. It was just too cute to pass up.
I'm happy my classes are over and I'm having a chance to do some sewing before the school year starts... Yes, I got a teaching job! I'm so relieved and happy.
