I have not been very productive in the sewing room lately. Other things get in the way. You know, things like work, the course I'm taking, yoga and dance classes, and ... umm ... laziness.
But the other day I received a package in the mail:
Two Kona solids (straw on the left and black) and two cuuuute Halloween prints to make pillowcases for the OnlyChild. Yes, she is 18 but the pillowcases are still fun for her (and for me to make). I use the very easy pattern from Sew4Home. I've used a couple of their tutorials and I find them quite easy to follow.
See - I'm motivated! I have to get these pillowcases made before next weekend. I'm hoping that will help me find my sewing mojo (my sew-jo) again, because it seems to have gone missing.
I still haven't gone back to that flannel baby quilt I started and I really should get that done before my friend/colleague's baby gets to university.
I still haven't quilted the Checkerboard quilt top that I finished in February. I love that quilt so much that I'm afraid to ruin it (sound familiar?)
I haven't even touched the Green and White blocks from waaaay back. Or the Authentic quilt I was experimenting with a while ago (hmmm... that Kona straw will look good with this fabric).
Christmas is coming too, which brings a whole other sewing to-do list. Yikes!
So, now that I've listed all my sewing inadequacies, I'll finish by saying that nothing is going to get done this weekend because I'm going on a road trip. I'm attending a workshop in the southern part of the province, then I'm staying with my friend Kim for the weekend. I'm really looking forward to the whole experience.
Even though it means no sewing.
Next week... surely I can fit in some time next week.
I have to, because I've also got these coming in the mail:
What was I thinking...?

Love your new stuff!
I think you were thinking that you wanted to share that owl fabric with me...
I am loving all the fabrics on you post! Wow, they are all so colorful. I especially like the owls.
Sew, sew and sew some more!
Oh, I love the Halloween fabric (big surprise). The cats are great!! That is so cool you are still making pillowcases for your daughter. I am planning on pillowcases as Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews this year. I am also planning a completely handmade Christmas. Maybe too ambitious but we'll see!
Ooooh, looky at those parisian fabrics -- very cool. You have the disease that so many of us share. I just keep adding to the pile. I keep telling myself that I shouldn't by any fabric at market, but I know I will. Those *&^% fabric manufacturers -- they crank out beautiful fabrics faster than we can make them!
Wow, that Halloween fabric is cute and love the stuff coming in the mail. (I'm sure you can guess the one I like best!) Hope you are enjoying the weekend ... what kind of workshop are you taking?
Thanks for your CUTE ATC and the owl card!
You better get cracking!
