National Sewing Month

Apparently September is National Sewing Month.... Who Knew?

I have been sewing quite a bit of late... working on projects with Christmas in mind.

Project Number one is in "add the borders" stage.

Spring is in the Air by Lizzie B Cre8ive

I started this quilt top last month.  (See the post from July 16.) I decided to make it a lap quilt rather than a wall hanging so the borders would need to be fairly wide.  I chose a pattern from The Border Workbook.  My next decision for this quilt is whether to have another border.















I recently became aware that a colleague of mine is expecting a baby before the end of the year.  So, project number two will be completely adorable, but quick quilt with a piece of fabric I found while in Honolulu last month.

I decided on a pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co BLOCK book from Summer Vol 3, Issue 3
The Friendship Star

Here is what I have so far:

Finally, I'm still working on the Glorious Hexies. Hexies are a hand-sewing project and the going is slow.  But, they are cute.
