Mini Magoo

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

I managed to get Mini Magoo finished at last.  It was a busy weekend with my husband's birthday but I was determined to finish this project off.

They are very cute, I think I'll make more in the future.

WIP Wednesday

Wednesday again and so soon!  The weeks just seem to be going so fast.  I am back to work next week and am wondering where the last 5 weeks have gone.

I've got a few projects I'd like to finish off this week.  I have just received the perle cotton that I'd ordered for my Loulouthi Tile quilt which was an adaptation of Rachel's tutorial at Stitched in Color.  I am looking forward to finishing this quilt off.

I have also started my first HST quilt.  So this is a nice little pile for pressing.  I'm making these into a chevron quilt.

This Mini Magoo has been waiting a while to be sewn together.  I am determined to get this off my list this week.

 

Then there are these, gathered clutches from Noodlehead that have been waiting to be sewn since June.  I've cleaned out my sewing room this week and found these old projects which are now sitting on my sewing table so I might get them done. But then I might not, I am scared of zippers.  I haven't had much success with them in the past.

 

I have started using these ziplock bags for smaller projects (they are the next size up from a sandwich bag) and are great for keeping the pieces together without taking up too much room.

And lastly I am in love with the Firefly Quilt from Canoe Ridge Creations so I have made a second one.  First one can be found here.  This one matches our sofa so I'm going to use it in the lounge room.  I am holding off on quilting this one until I get my new sewing machine.

I am so excited to be getting a new sewing machine, a Viking Sapphire 835 and all thanks to my wonderful husband.  He was actually the one who did the research, I just made a visit to the sewing centre for a demonstration and as it happened it was on sale until the end of that week.  Unfortunately, or not really, the machine is on lay by until I can pay it off.  I was jumping around after I left shop I was so excited.   I'm hoping it won't take too long to pay off with a 'new sewing machine' kitty started a little while ago.  

I'm linking up with  Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

Magoo Softie

This week I managed to get a little bit of sewing time and decided to finish this Magoo softie by Melly and Me.  Magoo will be finding a new home with my neice.  It was a special request to have the bow on her head instead of tufts of hair.  She is kind of cute!

I'm hoping that in the next couple of days I will be able to finish the top of the next quilt.
