Bits of This and That!

I have been sewing all over the place this week.  It is largely due to me avoiding sewing the borders onto En Provence! Firstly I made a Valentine wall hanging for my middle son and his wife who moved this weekend into a new (to them) house.  The wall hanging will be delivered today which is just perfect.  Oh, the half a doily in the picture went with the wall hanging  to add some Valentine cheer to their new place.

My eldest son and his wife requested another microwave bowl from me.  I made them one as a stocking stuffer for Christmas and they love it so much and asked me to make them another one.  That makes my heart so glad!

Then, on Saturday, I forced myself to attach those borders to En Provence and get it up off the floor.  I am happy to say that I achieved the goal and it wasn't so bad.  It is a huge quilt and requires lots of crawling around on the floor and pinning!  I even have the backing for this project and am so thrilled that I have completed the top.  It is in the queue for quilting now.

Missouri Star Quilt Company did a tutorial on these cat blocks and of course I just had to start one for myself.  I have been working on them for a couple of weeks now and I had ten left to make as of yesterday.  It was snowing all day so I finished the blocks and have laid them out.  I will probably put this top together today.  

I have also been looking at my two very large scrap bags and decided to do some scrap management. I will do a post about this later in the week.  
I hope you are all warm and cozy with all this snow flying around and busy quilting.  
Thank you for stopping by.

Love
Chantal

  4. All such pretty projects. Love that fried egg fabric. If you can believe it, I still haven't made a microwave bowl yet...not sure why. It's got to be easier than just a bowl on my potholder...
