Where have I been

and what have I been doing? Well, I've been here. I've been Quilting Along with Judy.



I've been sewing
These bags are my latest obsession.

I want to keep making them.

And then keep filling them

with new projects.

This one inspired by Lily. (The scarf was frogged for this new project.)


I am taking a sock class from the fabulous Stephannie and finally making a respectable looking sock.

One that I would even wear. And meeting blogger pals at that class. (Carrie is so great!)

Winning a couple of wonderful give aways. One from Quilt Taffy (Love them!)
Is that not the sweetest Minny Muu fabric?

One from Niesz Vintage Home.
Packaged so pretty!

Wonderful fabrics!

This is my favorite. So sweet.

And, of course, being a little distracted.
Which I do so well.

Last, but certainly not least. Have you seen the give away at Calamity Kim's? I love Kim and her blog. She is so inspiring. Her art is so whimsical and fun. Congratulations to her apron being published in the new Apronology Magazine.

Ooh, that is a fun little quilt - bright & spring-y. :) And the bags - they seem fairly easy to make (although those bottoms could be tricky) - I love the little loopy handle!

Great to have you back and you have been very busy. I love your quilt.

I wondered where you've been! So many wonderful projects and fabrics and yarn. You are inspiring me to step away from the computer for a bit and to get creative!

Melanie said...

Love the Spring colours in the quilt you made.

Those bags are cute as well as practical. They would make excellent Easter Egg Hunt bags. :-)

Busy, busy, busy! Love all your projects, Michelle! I've been thinking I'm going to make a shawl a la Lily too. And my LYS is having a BOGO on all Noro starting today. Yippee! Tell me about the bags, please. They are great and I have a bday gift to make. :-)

Dandelion Quilts said...

I really like your color choices in your quilt along. It looks great. I like your bags A LOT...what is the pattern you used for them?

Vivienne said...

Hello there! You come and visit me and leave me nice comments and I haven't gotten over here to check things out until now. And do you know why? It isn't because I don't quilt or sew, even though that's true. I JUST LEARNED that you can click on the name of the person leaving the comment and go to their site. Am I dips*** or what?!

I love those little bags with the knots. Do you sell them? If not you so should be! Gorgeous work!

Michelle said...

Very cute little bags! Did you happen to mention what the pattern is? Very nice quilt too!

happy zombie said...

Oh have you been busy! I love all that you do, and the fabrics you pic. Everything... just so cute.

And your swimming pool is calling me. I'm pretty sure it's saying, "Monica... do back flip here". Yup. I'm sure of it.
