progress update!

Well, more than half way done piecing together my dear nieces quilt. hopefully she will get it for christmas this year! i'm so glad i found out about that church quilting group, it's nice to be able to sit with like 20 other women who enjoy quilting & sewing as much as i do and be able to go at it for 3 or 4 hours =)
With the holidays coming up, I'm going to get all my mending & UFO's (unfinished projects) outta the way, then to start on a beautiful outfit for the holiday season: my favorite, demin trousers, with a short sleeve button up collared blouse. I've been on a mad hunt for new demin trousers, i had two pairs, one wore right out and the other, well they got too big =D i finally give up, i'll make a pair, i'd have to alter the waist anyways, so here goes....

PS I got a brand new camera, so there will be progress pictures from now on. *NOTE TO SELF* water bottle and electronics do NOT belong in the same bag lol

Store Name Ideas?

I'm signing up for an account on Zibbet and am stuck on a store name =(
I would love some help deciding on a name. To give you some ideas, My clothing label name will be F-B*mb...my focus for now is purses, ties, quilts & pillows, PJs, halloween costumes, garter belts, baby accessories. Once I'm a fashion designer, my focus will shift a little more to jeans, trendy tops, eye catching baby & men's wear, and lingerie.
I'm starting to work on items for my store, so until I can decide a name for my online store, I will be selling on my Facebook fanpage. I'll give it until the end of November, so please submit your suggestions and the name I choose will win their choice of an item from my store! Thanks for your help =D

I LOVE Quilting!

Well, I am just speeding through my nieces quilt, should be done well before her first birthday unlike her sister's quilt HAHA!!
After I finish her quilt, I'm doing one for my mom in memory of her sister (my Auntie Winnie) who recently passed after an illness. It's a breast cancer awareness quilt, titled Quilt of Many Ribbons. I can't wait to do another quilt for my mom. The first one I made for her was well over 6 years ago, it's actually sitting behind me on the couch =) Was very simple, not as well put together as the ones I make now. Will most definatly post pictures of it so you can see how much I've improved

I'm still on the search for the perfect fabrics for my Bargello quilt...well will be OUR quilt now! My man and I are moving into our own place in 5 days!! I'm always with him anyways, so now all my stuff will be with me, that's the only difference.
Sad news though, pictures will be hard to post, my camera is a wee bit water logged....water bottle in purse incident =( So please excuse the lack of pictures and the lack of quality of pictures I may actually be able to post as they will be from my cell phone. Thanks for reading

ahhh i've been inspired

So, I'm sad to say all my sewing stuff is packed up, and has been for over 3 weeks. I'm moving the end of the month. our new place is going to have a beautiful sewing room for me! full of shelving and outlets and great lighting!!! plus we'll still have 2 rooms (master and a spare)
also when we went to the VIEX this year, I ran into some family friends at an info booth, stopped to chat and found out that her church hosts a FREE quilting get together every Monday night for 3 hours. Mom & I went on Monday, looooovvved it!! What a great way to get all my quilts done! I'm going to get started on some xmas craft fair stuff once I finish the quilt I'm working on.
Very sad to report that my camera got drowned in my purse :( Don't know how the heck I'm going to post up pictures, I guess I'll just have to ask people to send me pictures I take with their camera!
That's all for now. Thanks for reading

Sorry it's been awhile

Hello everyone!
I know I don't have much followers...YET...but I'm sorry to those of you that read this, I haven't blogged in well over a month! Been busy doing nothing, work is slow, so I've just been puttering around the house.
I've gotten into garter making! Along with that comes an addiction to ribbon, sooooo I made myself a ribbon rack. painted it black, will post a picture once I get it all hung up.

Beautiful leopard garter

My birthday is coming up, and I've made myself a BEAUTIFUL dress, paid less than $30 for materials. It's in the final stages of fitting right now.
Mending pile is slowing shrinking, now to start using up some of my fabric supply! I can't even think of what to make next...
That purple dress i previously blogged about is all cut out, just waiting to be sewn, I'm so bad for that. Such a waste of fabric if it never gets done, but where on earth am I going to wear a dress to?? Weddings are done, and it's not special enough for my birthday (you will understand when I post the picture!)
Alright, off to sew, just thought I would let you all know I'm still alive =D
