A Quilters Day Journal...

{i've been inspired by jen's simple woman's daybook posts and thought i would start my own version and share with you what's going on in my sewing room. enjoy}

A Quilter's Daybook for March 5th, 2009

For today, March 5th, 2009 ...
Outside My Sewing Room Window...i can smell the sweet scent of jasmine. spring is coming...
I am thinking...about all the things i want to be working on but i need to focus on the things that need to get done.
I am thankful for...the opportunity to do something i love for my 'job', while staying home with my children.

I am grateful for... a husband who works so hard so our children can have their mom home.

One of my favorite things...is this jar of yo yo's. i bought these at a yard sale years ago for $3.

I am working on... this pattern for my class

and these little easter blocks, i've got one more block to do then i can make the wall hanging.

and finally, i am trying very hard to put aside time each day to get these siggy blocks done for the block swap going over at cootie bug 2. i'm getting there!

I am looking forward to...making a quilt with this fabulous fabric.
i'm getting a pattern today that is easy and cute!

On the Longarm is...another version of the second hand clothes pattern. (can you tell that it's being taught at the quilt shop. i think i have one more in line.)

and look how cute her label is. LOVE it!!!

A tip from the sewing room...actually comes from anne from bunny hill designs. a group of us are working on the bunny hill blocks of the month and i had one gal ask me about the bias tape makers. anne has a great tutorial for making the handle.

I thought I'd share...this book with you. i found it at joanne fabrics several months ago and i LOVE it! it is full of sew many wonderful projects, i don't even know where to begin. enjoy the photos.

have a wonderful day!
