Seriously.lazy.
The sun's shining, it's warm-ish outside, and I'm still sitting here in my pj's.
How are you guys doing? I hope good. Having a good valentines day?
I want to say thank-you to you all for your ever so sweet comments you leave here on sewtakeahike. They brighten my day, each and every one, and definitely keep me motivated to keep posting, knowing that there's someone out there that's inspired or has a brighter day after coming to this little space and poking around. I truly appreciate you all!
This is as close as I've come to quilting the ticker tape quilt, and it may have to wait a few more weeks. We're going to visit my family in a few days so I don't think I want to get hot and heavy into the quilting and then have to step away.
I have, however, been working on a few things. A month or two ago, I made up a bunch of double-sided, serged edge receiving blankets and delivered them to the local pro-life center in Loveland. They asked me to make some bibs with the scraps, so I'm earnestly trying to finish those up today.
I also tore into my fabric stash on Friday and resorted the whole thing by designer. I had mountains of fabric lying everywhere and my cat really thought it was all just for him to play in. Go figure. Anyway, I had been having such a hard time finding specific fabrics with it sorted by color, so I'm hoping this will work a little better. I'm already very pleased and I just finished it last night.
Alrighty, I better get going finishing those bibs up. I hope all your valentines days are sparkly and sweet!
Penny
p.s. I may be MIA for a couple weeks, we'll talk then!
Those little bibs are so sweet looking and what a nice thing to donate. Your cinnamon rolls look awfully yummy, too!

I'm gonna miss you, enjoy your time with family! At least I'll have the Olympics to keep me occupied, lol.
Those bibs are just the sweetest - I LOVE the one with the roses. What a dear you are to do that!

So did you do your ticker tape in blocks instead of on one big piece of cloth? I have been wanting to make one, but it looks a little overwhelming, but doing it in smaller blocks and then quilting it makes it less intimidating :)

Penny, have a great trip!
I love the pro-life center projects! What a blessing you are!
Travel well, my friend.

now that you've sorted fabric and folded did you decide you have enough fabric? That always CURES me of fabric shopping for a while. :)

What a great way to spend a Sunday. You have an African Violet too! I spent half a day sorting my bitty scraps by color. Sorting is work! Enjoy your break, and remember to take photos, hint, hint.
