Done is WAY better than not done !!

I finally finished these 2 table runners . Both were projects from Sept Bernina clubs . The pumpkins are embroidered & the stockings are appliquéd.

I love my labels from Dutch Label shop . 

I bought them for clothing , but I think it's nice to use them for other items as well .

Now if I could just get my garment sewing mojo to return !!!!!!!

I cleaned the sewing room today & found a knit top I started last winter. So ...

I actually worked on it this afternoon. 

That's huge progress to sew for ME for a change . 

Embroidery in the hoop

I've had a great week sewing . It's club week at my Bernina store. Embroidery DIVaS was a fun topper for bags. Gourmet Sewing club was Kimberbell birthday pillow. Both projects almost done .

I made these door hanging pillows for gifts -they are Janine Babich in the hoop .

The hot mitt is Pickle Pie . Lots of ideas for Christmas .

The wristlet is also Pickle Pie for a friends bithday . 

Also 2 sessions of Layette sewing this week. 

Time to rest -heading to Blue Ridge Parkway tomorrow for a week long hiking trip . 

HE doesn't know if scoped out some fabric stores ! 

The knit dress didn't get finished but almost 

Yikes I haven't blogged in a month - but I am sewing !!!!

Sewing is a dangerous hobby !!! I have this table runner almost finished -amachine quitled etc &  stuck my finger with a pin & got blood on it 😂

But it all came out !!!!

It just needs to be trimmed & put on binding . 

My second Passionately Sewn dress is almost done. I'm playing with the neckline so it looks a little different than the first one . 

It's finally fall in AZ - well at least highs of 80-85. So I will be able to wear a sleeveless dress for a while & with a sweater at night. 

As usual I have several projects going at once. My Embroidery club pumpkin table runner is ready for me to machine quilt & bind .

Most of my time in the last week was used getting a new computer & getting my Embroidery software designs reloaded etc. I got the  Bernina software update & tried to upgrade to Wi dows 10 & it crashed my computer. I'm NOT a computer person so it's taken a while to get up to speed. 

I'm also organizing all my software club lessons, Embroidery club lessons & Gourmet Sewi g club projects. 

I had let them get in total dissaray so it's time consuming , but needed .

I also managed to make 30 baby onsies for my Christ Child Layette group. These are mind,ess so they help keep my sanity . 

Thanks for stopping by ! 

Sewing for 30 minutes a Day

                  

 
             

I love  this idea  of sewing for 30 minutes a day ! You can accomplish so much this way .  Most days like everyone else this is easy to do . But it's a great reminder to just DO IT . 

Thanks www.starsthreads.blogspot.com 

for this great idea 

I have these 2 gorgeous Art Gallery Knits next up on the cutting table . I plan to make at least one of them into the Janneen Scot knit dress pattern  I fell in love with . It's called My Fit & Flare Dress.  I'll use the blue/teal knit on the right . Not sure what I'll use the black for -possibly a top . 

This weekend I've been busy finishing a Halloween table runner I started at least 2 years ago . I'll blog details when it's finished - a good incentive to finally get this thing done. 

I'm also working on the background brick looking piece for a Christmas stocking table runner for Bernina Gourmet Club this Thursday . I have the stocking traced on Wonder Under so hopefully it won't be another UFO. 

I'm working very hard on my UFO pile of clothing & other sewing projects . I've also managed to get 70 onsies done for my CCS group to donate to newborns in local hospitals .

Kitchen remodel & painting of rest of the house gave me time to stay out of their way & in the sewing studio .  Yeah ! 

Happy National Sewing Month !!!

I finished something for ME

I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this dress. It's so comfy,stylish & it fit right out of the package.

It's the Fit & Flair dress by Janneene Scott. I used Art Gallery Knit from my Bernina store-Bernina Connection. 

They had this dress in this fabric as a sample & I jumped on it. I tried the sample, so I knew what size  to make.

My sewing mojo for myself has been absent this summer, but this dress is a huge hit . I'm already looking through my stash to find what else I can use to make this again. 

Did I say I love it ?????

Yeah !
