Sunday Projects #17

Lots on the plate today!

It's a crumby, rainy, chilly day here, so it's nice to be tucked

away in the sewing room ignoring everything outside!

Not a great day for taking pictures, the light is very low . . .

I basted my Leftovers quilt. I used pins this time instead of the spray,

and I think I like this method better, especially since I am

stitching in the ditch, so there is lots of twisting and turning.

I have been randomly picking seams to quilt,

trying hard not to have to back track over seams.

It is like a puzzle or game to figure out a route that will cover as much

territory as possible, and not have to end the seam line too early.

I think I should have named this quilt the puzzler. Haha!

When my shoulders started to cramp up, I switched to another project.

I was given a lovely piece of suede a while ago and wasn't sure what I would do with it.

I bought some leather needles yesterday to see if my machine could really

sew the leather.

I made a little wallet, like the ones I made here.

It only has the one pocket,

I think I can only sew through two layers

of suede at a time.

This was very easy to make since it is really

just top stitching the two pieces together.

Maybe I'll see if I can figure out a staggering

method, so I can have two or three pockets.

It's very soft and fun.

I am also working on finishing my log cabin Aloha quilt!

I had dropped this quilt off a Roxanne's Quilter's Alley

a few weeks ago . . .

We picked out a leafy pattern that worked really well for this quilt.
Roxanne did a fabulous job on the quilting. Thanks Roxanne!

I love getting a quilt back from the long-armer!

Feels like instant gratification!

Just putting on the binding now.

So what are you working on today?

14 more days until spring!
