Planning out some new projects

Even though I have not started any new sewing projects, I sure have been busy buying things and dreaming of grand plans. In the recent Fon's & Porter Love of Quilting, Jan/Feb 2009 issue, I am very inspired by the "I Wooly Love Ewe" quilt pattern -- that looks like fun so I went to my stash and grabbed a few fabrics that I thought would go well in the quilt -- I still need to add some reds to the basket but it's a start and I might actually finish this one in time to hang it for Easter!

Next on the agenda is a few quick tote and purse projects. I had created some christmas gifts this past season and our friend Natalie, who received the pink and black kitty bag, brought it to her office and a friend wants to have me make one for her niece, a smaller version since she's only like 7 - - she loves puppies, kitties and pink -- so I found some fun pupy fabric a month ago that I knew would come in handy at some point - see, buying fabric whenever you see it not knowing what it's for at the time of purchase does make sense - LOL.

OK so what else - I know I still have to finish the binding on my Christmas Punch quilt - O my goodness - will I ever get to that??? - I'm sure because it's sitting there staring at me every time I walk into the sewing room. Here are some other fun purchases I've made recently - after attending the first Virtual Bernina Club at my dealer here in Louisiana, I bought the sewing room organizing book - there are some great projects in there! EDIT TO ADD BOOK INFO (Quilters Get Organized by Pattie Donham, published by American School of Needlework, www.asnpub.com, ISBN 978-1-59012-186-3 retail $10.95) I also found some fun fabrics the other day -- I have plans to create a little girl's smock for possible use in the photo studio --- we'll see, not sure how that will come along since I'm really not that handy with garment sewing.
