Make Mine Modern Swap Reveal! [the sequel]

And this is the other thing that I made for the swap.  Its a wallhanging!  I fussy cut out some flowers and leaf shapes and ironed them on.  Very springy eh?  

One of the corner hangers doubles as a label!

Here's the both of them.  And they will be on their way to my partner tomorrow first thing in the morning!  Along with the various fabric cuts that I didn't get a picture of.  (but some of it was selected from the fabric in this post here.)

Make Mine Modern Swap Reveal!

OK secret partner, if you happen to come across my blog and see this post, this is what I made just for you!  I think you will love it because you LOVE peacocks.  And Kaffe Fasset fabric.  And I think you like a bit of glitz and bedazzle-ment.  And this has all 3!

It's a sewing machine cover.  My machine is modeling it quite well don't you think?

 

And this would be the backside.  I hope you like it partner because I sure had fun with this peacock theme.  It should be coming your way sometime next week.  :)

...Making Progress

I haven't posted much lately, but I have been busy!  Busy with my MMM swap project....

And quilting quilts.  I'm just putting on quilt #13.  And I started something new.  Yes, I started a new project.  Hexies!  I've finally gave in and jumped on the hexagon bandwagon.   I've been seeing hexies on blogs all over the place and I couldn't avoid it any longer! No pictures to share here yet, but there really isn't much to show for now other than the stack of 2" squares and paper templates. 

Dresden Trial Run

This weekend I borrowed Mom's dresden plate template for a certain MMM project I have in mind.   I used some of the ugliest fabric I own on a test run. 

Not too shabby.  That is if you like goose and apple fabric from the 80's. :)

And this is a sneak peek at my project.  I'm pretty sure my secret partner will love it!  Because I'm such a good stalker and all ;)

Snowman Fingers

Here's another boring picture of my table runner blocks.  I added 2 more last week.  

And: here is a little sneak peek at my finished project for the Make Mine Modern swap.  It's called Snowman Fingers.  

Ha  Ha!  Ok, I'm totally kidding.  It's not nearly done at all.  I'd be a little disappointed if I were to receive this--a couple of brown twigs.   Don't worry secret partner, this will (hopefully) look awesome when I'm done with it.  :)
