Fresh Sewing Day & Small Blog Meet

We had a little burst of productivity, chez nous. Here's what October looked like.

I'm happy to say that I finished my King sized voile quilt, and have been sleeping under it almost every night since. It adds the perfect extra layer of warmth over our duvet on chilly nights, but is warm enough on its own on not-so-chilly nights. This is for sure my favourite finish for October.

I also made some simple backpacks for goody bags to give out at my son's birthday party, some long-overdue cushion covers, and trick-or-treat bags for my kids.

I continued hand stitching T-Hex, estimated date of completion: June 2013!

I'm so happy that I tried a cathedral window pincushion, it really lit my fire to make a cathedral window cushion cover.

On the yarny side, I pulled out some WIPs from last winter that I want to complete - beautiful fiddlehead mitts. And because two sets of unfinished mitts is not enough, I started another pair for the baby-daddy.

I also started some Japanese x and + blocks, maybe one day destined to be a table runner.

The Pirate quilt made a reappearance -- every time I worked on a different project my six year old would raise his eyebrows and ask why I wasn't working on his quilt! His guilt trip was apparently successful and I got back to work.

I made up the little shark guy on the bottom (the pattern will be available to download next week if anyone needs a shark!) and still need to add some more elements and then maybe an HST border.

Thanks so much for visiting -- I look forward to seeing what y'all have been up to, too!
