First Post Retirement Projects

 I had a busy day today.   I needed to get my project ready for the embroidery class tomorrow. I got everything cut out and all the threads pulled. The next project that was up was finishing the pillow that did the embroidery on last week. It was a reading pillow and I managed to get it finished!

I chose the green Minky and I had bought the construction flannel previously.
Didn't it turn out so darling?
I embroidered the "R" for baby Roberts.


This is what the back turned out like.
It was such an easy pattern to make I will likely make some more of these!


These 2 goofballs were helping me.
Apparently, quilting time is also bath time!


He is so handsome!  Quite a pain in my room but handsome.


This one is the good boy.  He goes to the "cat quilt" and lays down while I sew.


The next things I needed to do was to catch up on my Block of the Week patterns.


I am so happy with how they turned out too.  
I feel like it's always a crap shoot when I choose fabrics.
This time they worked.

Tomorrow I will be going to my embroidery class and it will likely last the whole day.  

I got my computer from work to use so now I can make blog posts again!

  2. Love that you can have cats watching and "keeping order" whjile you sew. My dog eats the fallen pins, so he is banished from the quilt studio! I also really like your fabric choices for the block of the week.
