In the Hive

This worked out great to hide my various players and such and the remotes still work through the fabric so we don't have to lift it up !

I am making some new pillow covers, coasters, and a shelf curtain for the new living room decor!

I took some time to sew some pillows this morning and completed two hexagon pieces last week. I also took a picture of Thomas with his SCARY mask!

It was the second year anniversary of Mom passing away. I spend some time in the garden, in the rain, laying bricks and thinking about Mom. It was a hard day. I snapped some shots from the garden and between then and today I sewed up some new pillows! My Governor Lupine: My green wizard was one tiny plant last year, now it is taking over! My new baby poppy! Michael picked the fabrics for the new pillows!

Row 1 is done, but not without some reworking. I thought I could add the geese as I went to each block. Lo and behold, no they MUST be added as a whole strip! So, I had to remove at the geese from the blocks I had pieced and assembled earlier and re-sew them. I will have to warn the ladies at the shop so they don't make the same mistake.

I sewed up my curtains quick this morning and will be heading out the the Somerset New Jersey quilt show. That is an unexpected roadtrip!

I never made my own cloth napkins before, so I ran out to get some fabrics I thought would be cute!  I hope to make at least 6 of each.  I like having a cloth napkin when I eat, and my old purchased ones are nasty and fraying!  I forgot where I got the link but this tutorial seems like a quick method, since I don't have a serger!   http://tinyurl.com/cyzv9t
