Finished Friday Infinity Scarf

While my BFF Jessica and I were organizing my sewing room, she came across some voile fabric from Connecting Threads.  (Come on, I can't be the only one that forgets fabric stashes!)  I had the fabric left over from making a quilt and want to use it to make infinity scarves.

Well, guess what e-mail I got from Jessica that Monday?  Uh huh, you guessed it.  This one from Pink Chalk Fabrics for infinity scarves.  It is free!

My completed project for today is an infinity scarf that I made for Jessica. Her Birthday is on Sunday.  And yes, she knows about this because I asked her to pick the colors.  (I didn't have much time to sew today because a niece is coming to stay with us for the weekend.  This took about an hour to make.)

Instead of hand stitching the opening closed, I top stitched close to the edges. (I don't like hand stitching.  I avoid it like the plague, except binding.  I like the look of hand stitched binding.)

I can see more of these in my future!  An easy pattern.  It will make a great gift.  Spring weather is coming - really it is!  Lots of gorgeous voile and lawn fabrics to make this with.  Tula Pink, Liberty of London, Amy Butler fabrics just to name a few.

Linking up now to Crazy Mom Quilts and Finish It Up Friday!

Friday Finishes!

Okay, I admit that I keep thinking that somehow 'life' is going to get less complicated after I get ____ (fill in the blank) done.  But it doesn't.  When I get one project done, another one (or two) are added.  By me.  I totally do this to myself.  But I love it!  Wouldn't want it any other way.

In our MQG, Jessica taught us how to make The Sugarloaf Quilt by Debby Kratovil.  Yes, I came home and finished mine.  I went shopping in my stash and found some bright, hand dyed rainbow fabrics for mine.  Yes, it IS very colorful and bright!

Quilt top is finished.  Now, how to quilt it?!?  It will be a little while til I can get it upstairs and loaded on.  Presently, I am working on this quilt for a talented customer:

It is her first quilt!  I am so impressed!  

AND, I have been commissioned to make a full size quilt.  Here is one block with all the pieces.

 

The pattern is Midnight Sky by Michael Miller Fabrics done in the Constellations Fabrics by Lizzy House (Andover Fabrics).  The unfinished block size is 12.5".  Lots of flying geese in these blocks. 

 

I have three quilts quilted with one almost done with the binding being hand sewn on.  (Not my favorite part of quilting - hand sewing on binding.)  Hope to finish two of those tonight with pictures coming!

 

This is just the sewing part of my life.  The other parts are just as crazy.  But, really, I wouldn't have it any other way. 

 

Sew far, sew good,
