A Lazy Sewing Sunday . . .

What a spectacular day in the northeast today.

I couldn't decide what to do first.

So I went for a nice long walk by the water to collect my thoughts.

When I returned I was ready for a bit of sewing.

I am working on a donation quilt right now.

A medallion of sorts.

It is inspired by one of Kathy's quilts at Material Obsession.

I can't find the picture right now, but I promise to show it in the next post.

While we were at Quilting by the Lake,

Kathy spoke about contrast and helping your piece pop.

I realized that while I use a ton of rich color,

sometimes there is not enough contrast.

So I am working on that.

This little project was started a month ago,

and has been hanging around ever since.

It is going to be a wreath.

It is taking FOREVER to tie all those scraps.

But I will keep at it, because I think it will be really fun.

Like my sewing corner?

It has reached the tipping point again.

A total chaotic mess.

I can barely cut anything.

This week I am going to visit my niece, nephew and family.

I wanted to find a cute little doll for my niece, one, who I haven't met yet.

Have you been to Toys U Us lately?

OMG, I know I am old because I was wandering around like

a shock victim.  I was asked if I needed help three times.

I was just trying to find a sweet baby doll for a little girl.

They all looked like they were on crack.

So I settled for this sweet little Peebles.

Soft, sweet and a red head.  Perfect!

On another note . . . 

I spent yesterday afternoon in the city.

In Bryant Park.

With some hilarious, very fun peeps.

You know who  you are!

Hope you had as much fun this weekend as I did!
