I never updated about my sewing date! Of course, it didn't end up quite like I thought it would. We talked a WHOLE lot and didn't get much sewing done. Oops! But I finished the baby blanket for my cousin and did one burp cloth! I still really need to finish the rest of those so I can send them soon!
As I've said, I'm doing Oh, Fransson!'s Sparkle Quilt quilt-a-long. Cutting out all the 3.5" squares is super tedious, though. Cutting is absolutely my LEAST favorite part of quilting. Blah. My parents got me an Accuquilt Go! Baby cutter for Christmas, which is AWESOME. I bought the 3.5" square dies for it this week, and I think it'll make this quilt go a lot faster!
Today we're going to a fabric store in a town about 30 miles away...I'm excited! I've been trying really hard not to buy fabric this month, but I really want some! I might be addicted. Don't tell my husband. :)
Have a beautiful Saturday, and a great Valentine's Day!

Back on the horse
That's right, people. I'm getting back on the sewing horse! One of my coworkers invited me to come over for a crafting day today! Hooray! I have a whole list of things I'd like to get done. So. As long as everything goes as planned, I will have the following to show you later:
*Baby blanket and matching burp cloths for my cousin
*Two pairs of blind hemmed pants (one for a coworker)
*A pair of pajama pants with a new waistband
*A zippered pouch
*The start of a tshirt/pj quilt
*AND MAYBE MORE!
I'm so excited. I just can't hide it.
Ok, so the pajama pants. I bought them because they're SUPER cute and not too thick. I didn't realize that the waistband has exactly NO elastic. You have to tie the drawstring, and they fall down all the time. So I'm going to take the waistband off some other pajamas that I don't wear and replace it. We'll see how it goes. Also, I exactly a bajillion tshirts and pajama pants that I need to cut up and turn into a quilt. My parents get me pjs for Christmas every year, and now I have more pajamas than I could ever wear. But I love them. So into a quilt they go! Ha!
...that'll be the warmest quilt ever in the world. Oh well! It'll also be SO SENTIMENTAL!
Alright. I'm going to gather my two sewing machines and all the supplies in the world and head to her house! Wish me luck!
