Before & After

  Well, My studio may not be totally clean yet, 

but the rest of my loft is getting there!

I snuck a bit of sewing in today, as I need this baby quilt done tomorrow...

Just need to sit and do the binding...

 

 BEFORE &

AFTER!

POOL TABLE GONE!

The floor is scrubbed, and the rug and pieces put into place...

Yes, the rug says LIES...  I had it made back when I had an exhibition of my photographs, and it went with theme at the time... Now we have a place to use it!  I love the bright colors. 

Since we do not have a guest room, this area is going to magically become 

a guest room...

See those pipes up above, for the sprinkler system?

We're having a fabric tent made that will hang from them to give  us an instant

guest room when we need it...

At least it will give some privacy, since we do no have curtains on our windows....

I think I have a few takers already for this room...

Do I need to make a list?

Shelly? Linda? Rene?

I've played a bit more yesterday on Ragamuffin, as a few more blocks came in...

I need to add about three more inches to the right side, and I will be ready to sew it all together...  

Extra blocks that I have, will also be used on the back... 

The plan is to use everything that was sent to me... 

so if you don't see your block there, it will be on the other side...

It is a  KING SIZE quilt.

Gotta run to do that binding! 

Happy Sewing!

sunday wrap up

As summer wraps up so do a few extra projects... 

This baby quilt  is a combo of NYC and JAPAN...

colors of both flags, and fabric prints from both cultures, some fun NYC prints, 

and taxi cab yellow....  This is a gift to the gal who gifted me her old Singer ....  

She's a real sweet person, and it will be for her nephew who is from NYC, 

living in Japan, with his wife and there second son on the way...

It's all sorts of reds and blues.... 

I know some read black, but they are really just navy blue colors...

I may add a few more brights around...

I used up every bit of WHITE I had... which is not very much...!!

So it was a fun challenge to myself try to make something with it...

I did the binding on B's little Butterfly quilt, and then whipped up a PINK one

for our granddaughter, who arrived today for one week visit from Seattle.

These little scrappy projects are just so fun to throw together... 

grab and use what you have... a little mini adventure...

They are all snuggled into their beds tonight, after a busy day of swimming.

Friends, family and sewing...

A good day indeed.
