A Christmas Tree Skirt

As we were putting up our Christmas decorations Thanksgiving weekend, we couldn't find our tree skirt. I remembered that it got washed and rolled up before being put away. I must have put it in a really safe place because we looked everywhere and still couldn't find it. I ended up making a new tree skirt for our tree. I drafted up the pattern and got to work. I pieced the backing using Kate Spain's In From the Cold fabric collection.

Christmas Projects

This year I am trying to make an effort to sew some handmade gifts. I love Madame Samm's coin purse tutorial. It comes together really fast. These are the first two that I finished. 

Holiday Lane Blog Hop

Today is my turn to share with you my Holiday Lane pillow. I had so much fun making it. A big thanks to Pauline and Madame Samm for putting this together and Jill of Jillily Studio for the beautiful pattern.

Leafs Me Happy

Today is the last day for the Leafs Me Happy blog hop and my turn to share with you my block. I am sew happy to participate in this hop since it gives me the push I need to sew some fun things for my home for Fall. I'd like to thank Madame Samm and Cherry for putting this blog hop together. They are awesome cheerleaders!

Christmas Stockings

I don't remember if I have shared these felt stockings I made. These were made before I was actively blogging so maybe you all haven't seen them yet. I have a Christmas craft book that had these patterns in it. I got ambitious one year and made them. The instructions have me making them all by hand, even the blanket stitching. Even though they are cute and all I did not make anymore after these two. We hang these up on our kids' bedroom door for Christmas.

Small Halloween Quilt

My Fall Into Fall giveaway is still going on. The last day to enter is by midnight Oct. 15th. Click here to go to the giveaway post. There's more going into the package than what you see :)
Thanks to everyone for following me! I can't believe I am so close to 200 followers. I'll have to do another giveaway when I hit 200.

On the Halloween quilting front, I am still working on my Halloween quilts. I've got all the quilt tops and backing done. I only need to machine quilt it. This is a quick tabletopper using one of the extra snowball blocks I had leftover from the larger quilt. I just need to put the binding on and it's ready to use. I am also quilting the tablerunner and these two should be done this weekend. I am going to take a break to spend the day doing some fun fall things with my family.
Have a great weekend!

Hair Clips

Still working on stuff. I have 5 jewelry items to get finished and a ton of shirts a friend asked me to put pockets on, but I have something to share with you today. I have a bunch of these flowers leftover from a project so I made more hair clips. I bought a box of duck clips to make hair clips so I can use up some of my craft supplies. My girls don't want to have anything to do with hair clips but it was fun to make. That's all I have for today. Hop on over to Sew Much Ado to check out some wonderful projects posted for today.

Some Sewing Projects

Happy Monday!

I know Halloween is over, but I needed to finish this simple wallhanging that I started last Halloween. Yup, you heard it right, last Halloween. I was trying to figure out a way to quilt it on my little sewing machine so I put it away and did take it back out. This year the Halloween decorations came out so I figured I had better finish this wallhanging. My machine quilting is a bit rusty since I haven't done any machine quilting in a few years. I just made the tops and hung them up in my closet so yes, I have many UFO's. I finally finished the binding this morning so hubby can put it away with the Halloween stuff today. While I was at it, I also made a zippered pouch with scraps of fabric I have. Now I don't really know what to do with it. I just felt like making a zippered pouch.

Well, I have a ton of things to do today including some stamping which you can check out tomorrow on the Sherrod Studio blog for our Tuesday Throwdown challenge.

Enjoy your day:)
