Thursday Update (in Red)

 Today it Mostly about Red because it's February after all and Valentine's Day is just around the corner so here it goes.

 Heart pops and dipped Oreos!

Some beautiful Moda Essential Dots in Red and White

This will become the back of my I-Spy quilt.

Only the bottom and side sashing left to sew on and the top will be finished!

 All right I know this is not Red, but it is to go with a shade of red;) 

I entered a giveaway over here and won a package of Bella Solids from this great Etsy shop. I needed another to go with it. Thanks Liz, Becca and Peg;)

These will be staring in a future Triangle Madness inspired quilt!

Wishing all of you a very sweet Valentine Day.

Thursday Update

Just a few projects finished and one a little bit of progress to report.

First project~My square for February an hourglass pattern using my new 1/4 inch foot.
Let me just say what a huge difference a quarter inch foot makes!!!!!!

My second project~ A pair of Pink P.J's using this very soft tiny ribbed knit material I picked up at Hancock's on their sale rack for 1.97 a yard.

The Pattern was McCall's Easy Stitch 'N Save #M5960

The Ribbon Black Satin by Offray. The thread Sulky 932.
My Janome hated both the thread and the fabric and that made this a difficult project even though the pattern is a piece of cake! I ended up finishing up on my Elna.  All in all I really like the end result.

Lastly, I finished all the petals for the New Beginning Flowers.

Here is the first of 20 finished, only 19 more to go before the 27th. Piece of cake right!
The tutorials  where I learned how to make these flowers can be found here and here.
Happy Valentines day to you all!

Valentines Flowers

We stayed home this year and had a fun family dinner. French dips and potato salad with heart shaped chocolate cupcakes frosted and decorated. We all got a card. The table was decorated with balloons and Darren brought me a dozen red roses. I forgot to take pictures so you will just have to use your imagination on this one:) Happy Valentines everyone!!!!!
