WHAT DOES A PERSON DO AT TWO IN THE MORNING WHEN SLEEP JUST WILL NOT COME?


That is a no brainer!!

Quilt!

Blanket Stitch!

Yep.....when these hazel eyes just can't take a wink......

I put my sewing machine to work!



I am working on my Island Batik Challenge for the month.  Christmas in July.

Holiday Happenings Collection by Island Batik


Here is what I have so far on my personal challenge for the month.



I am working in groups of eight.

Each square will be eight by eight which will give me 64 two and a half squares.

I never said Math was my strong suit....in fact never take my word for anything when it comes to math.



So far I decided that I need 4 of these 8 x 8 squares....you do the math.

I am now sewing the  8 x 8 squares together.  I need four for each side and then the end caps.

Okay, my brain is smoking right now...enough of that.

I was asked to cover some pillows...just a simple cover....



I had to quilt them (couldn't just put two pieces of fabric together like she wanted).  Then I made it so the back opens up and she can wash the pillows.  

I have also done ten fabric microwave bowls....no picture....too lazy to go over there and take a picture.

Have a fabulous week-end!

  3. Not too lazy to take a picture, silly, just exhausted! I don't know how you do that, I mean get up in the middle of the night when sleep is elusive and become productive. I would never get back to sleep! Loving the thought of Christmas in July in this HOT summer. Your bells with gold bow are beautiful!

  4. Well, Barb, you have been a busy girl! It's been a while since my hazel eyes have wandered into the sewing room in the middle of the night, but maybe I will next time. I'm worried that my machine noises will wake my husband. But then his snoring often wakes me, so I guess that evens things out, right?

  5. Good for you Barb. Might as well accomplish something when these things happen. Me, I turn on the TV

  6. I hate it when that happens, but I don't get up! I just plug into an audio book and listen until I eventually fall back to sleep. But look at all you accomplished! XO
