W.I.P. - Gypsies and Legos

Last week was sooo busy, the kids had stuff going on each day and we never seemed to stop going.  Thank goodness this week is a bit on the slower side where we can all sit back and enjoy the summer days.  I started another quilt this week.  I volunteered to do a pattern test for Bree over at Distant Pickles. (My first time to test a pattern.)


 It is called Gypsy Dance and will be for sale very soon.  I got all the patterned pieces cut last night.  I decided to do the baby size, since the material that I want to do the Twin size in is not available at the local fabric shop.  Her friend Julie has a very cool and retro quilt that is there too called Mod Pop.  I loved both of their quilt patterns and feel really lucky to test one of them out.  Go check out both the patterns that Bree and Julie will have for sale soon.  (You will love them both!)

I wanted to make it fun, so I picked some yardage that I had from Moda Meadow Friends.  I am excited to get it all sewn up.

I finished a tutorial this last week for a fun craft that you can do with your kiddos, Boy or Girl!

Lego shirts!  My kids loved making alter ego shirts.  It was great fun and I might have to make Lego Mommy!

I am so close to finishing my 20 potholders for Christmas, except that I think I have to make 22.  The problem is that I get so tired of making the same thing over and over that it drives me crazy.  If I don't finish them all soon, I will not get them done.  I have 15 complete and 2 in the works.

The turquoise are my favorite in this batch this week.  So next week, I will show my progress on my Gypsy Dance quilt top.  Looking forward to sewing some more on my new sewing machine.  It is so fabulous. I find more things that I love about it and to think last week I didn't even want to take it out of the box.
