Sewing Hexies

Yesterday I sewed a couple Hexies in the car.

 Here's my thread and scissors in the cubbies in the door of the car.

This is what I have been sewing tonight. Not a lot of time. Been spending time with family today at the zoo.

Tomorrow we head back home.  I'll post more tomorrow night. Have a great night.

Have a great 4th of July. 

Tote - July 2013 Sew Every Day Challenge

Yesterday I was working on a challenge from my Modern Quilt Guild and thought that this would also work for Pat Sloan's July 2013 Sew every day challenge. 

At our Guild Meeting we draw names and whoever's name we draw we had to make something for them out of the  40 - 2 1/2 squares that they picked.   I draw "Lucy", so I'm going to make her a tote. 

                  

 

I have been doing HST a lot lately so of course I made more HST, but putting them together as a tote.  I have the exterior of the tote quilted. 

Today I will be doing the handles, pockets and the liner. 
Here is a picture of the tote so far.

Come back tomorrow and see the finished tote.

Happy Sewing!

EQ7 Summer Drawing Block 2– PatchDraw Pieced

EQ7-Summer-Drawing Block-2 Patch Draw-Pieced

I was going through my blog and noticed that I didn't show my block 2 that I created in this EQ7 Summer Drawing - Draw and Sew Along.  So here it is.

EQ7 Summer Drawing Block 3 - Patch Draw Applique

EQ7 Summer Drawing Block-3 Patch Draw-Applique

Before I start to sew today I thought that I should do the EQ7 Summer Drawing Block.  Here is the one that I did this morning.

These series has been so much fun to learn some different things in EQ7 that I didn't know about. Know since I need to make sure that I have something to quilt each day this month, this will be great to sew out these applique.

Better late, than never

I did actually sew yesterday on the 1st of July for Pat's challenge.  Here is what I did yesterday.   

July 2013 - Sew Every Day Challenge  by Pat Sloan.

I have been doing a lot of HST this year. Of course that is what I was sewing on yesterday was some more HST's I actually did 30 of them yesterday.  I am going to make a king size quilt out of all of them, so when I make the I put them into a bin until I have enough to start sewing them all together, these are mainly made out of scraps from other quilts that I have made. I went and bought a HST ruler yesterday, it really makes life so much easier when trimming all these HST.

 


Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow.
