Sewing Obsessed!

I have been out of commmission, so to speak, for the last two plus weeks due to a bout of "vertigo".  Yah, I get those dang things and it tends to slow down my production or creativity.  But I think I am "back up and at 'em".... finally!    Now to make up for lost sewing time LOL Before I went outta commission, I started another quilt out of scraps and stash fabrics.  A very fun and quick quilt (well it would have been if I hadn't got ...well we'll just leave that out of this story LOL) that has taken the stash down ever so slightly.  This is where I started...cutting strips from my scraps that were long enough and I really didn't worry about color.  Really... I didn't.  Now this is just 32 strips of "dark" colors.  Then I had to get 32 lights!   Okay, I know that wasn't going to happen and I wasn't about to get light browns, blues, etc.  What I was looking for was cream colored fabrics.  Well I didn't have enough ...

Once the drapes were out of the way I was then able to start on some of the projects I had brought with me.  A few have been in the making for a couple of months but others have been cut and ready for a couple of years.  Now I didn't get to all of them but if you don't have them with you, it is pretty hard to go get them if you have extra sewing time, now isn't it?  Hence the over packing of projects once again.  But that is okay as I know have my tote packed for the next camp in September!  (there is always a method to my madness LOL) This bag is a Nancy Halvorsen pattern from the book called "Love Is".  I really had alot of fun putting this one together.  And the wording was handstitched, even though I do have the technology to have had done it by machine.  I think it just "called" for it to be done by hand.   This would be a real good tote to take to the fabric shops!  It really is a big bag and you could load up on all ...

What a week I had getting things ready and up to date before I left for Camp Wanna Sew - but I did it, although not without staying up past midnite for 3 nites!  I left early Thursday morning (May 27th) with the car full of my sewing junk "treasures", and arrived there just after 10am.  Didn't take me too long to unpack and I was sewing by 11.  Now my plan of attack for this 4 day sewing camp, was to finish up one of my biggest UFO's created to date - 2 quilts for my DD that she would use as drapes for her patio door.  I was to do no other sewing until these were completely finished!  Now these were a Christmas present for last year and I have been working on quilting them on my domestic machine for the past 4 months, so I wanted them finished.   "Myself" and "I" are always getting " Me " into trouble and when "I" talked "Myself" into starting this project the end of October, the blame was on "myself & I...
