Staff ID

Today Molly insisted that staff obtain a photo id as added security. Both Buddy and Molly spent the day hiding because the house was overrun by workmen.

Molly was not amused.

Sheep!

Today was my day to make an orange sheep, maybe two. But I can't find the pattern! Okay, this is not a big deal because I do have the tutorials posted. And I do have seven patterns staring at me.

Next weekend is the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival.  The sheep hope I have the flock filled out by then.

I'm hoping Molly tells me where the pattern is soon. I look forward to finding out where she hid it.

Addendum:  So Molly had me retrieve her blue fur toy from under a table...and there sat a bag with various paperwork including the pattern specs for the sheep. Molly was quite pleased with herself.

Poodle and Batik winners

Today I made a poodle using the tutorial...and oops, some of the measurements are off.  This quilt is going to have turquoise, pink and black poodles on white and black background fabric.

Meanwhile, Molly has decided that there is still too much fabric. So today there are going to be TWO winners.

The winners of the batik fat quarters are:

QuiltE and

Tu-Na Quilts  (Buddy would like to eat a tuna quilt!)

Pickles and winner

Here are some pickle wedges. This means I got everything together for paper piecing. And I only accidentally ironed some template plastic once. (I use the small piece of template plastic to fold back the paper before trimming.)

And now its time for the party fabric giveaway.

And the winner of the giveaway of fat quarters:  GranChris.

Chickens, puppies and winner

I followed my advice from yesterday, and decided to start sewing although I don't have everything unpacked or set up in some semblance of efficiency. I have never been efficient, so why start now?

And this was not Molly's advice from yesterday. I misunderstood her. She wanted me to spend more time playing with her and cuddling. So we did.

Meanwhile, Buddy the puppy is trying to act like a cat...the social pressures in this house are so fierce. Luckily, the windows here have ledges that are wide enough to accommodate a small pony.

And here is the selection of fabrics for the September 5 giveaway.

The winner of this set of fat quarters is:  works4me

Fabric Giveaway 4 with circles

A small amount of progress filling up the shelves with flat folds.

Here Molly is explaining that she thinks I'm just spinning in circles and should just jump in a start sewing already. Everything's a mess, but she reminds me that its always a mess anyway.

Meanwhile, Molly would like you to know that the fabric giveaway has gone to the dogs...

QuiltSwissy that is.  Buddy is quite pleased and thinks dogs can be winners too.

Third Fabric Giveaway and Reorganization

I realized last night that my plan for the sewing room wasn't working out. So I reorganized the storage units. Molly supervised.

Molly likes the new arrangement much better.

Buddy is happy to see more floor space.

Buddy would also like to announce that the winner of the September 3 fabric giveaway is:

Janice Holton!
