Eye Glasses Case

I have been planning on making a case for my glasses for a long time now. Actually ever since I spent $600.00 for them and they tried to give me a plain black case. I asked if I could please have something with a little color and they handed me a big honkin' orange one.  Now orange is not my favorite color and I'm not a demanding person so I took it, but when I tried to put it my purse, it was so big it wouldn't fit.  That is when I decided to make my own.  That was two years ago. Yes, that's about how long it takes me to get things done.

Yes, I know I said I don't like orange, but when you put it with my favorite color, purple, I like it a lot more. This one I made a little big since I am going to use it for my sun glasses and they are on the bigger side.  Now I need to make another one and make it a little smaller for my regular glasses that are usually only worn for just for reading, so I do need a case for my purse.
They are so simple to make I don't know why I didn't get it finished sooner.  You don't need a pattern, just a pair of glasses so you can cut your wool felt to size. Then just add whatever you like to the front, button hole stitch around the edges and waalaa, your done.

Aprons

Our 30's meeting is tomorrow night and I'm all set with a couple more blocks ready to go.  We only need to have one apron block done each month to stay in the game, but I would like to make all 36 blocks so I am trying to make at least one extra each month.

Love is

I finally started adding my sashing on my Love is ..... blocks. You can find the patterns over on Paula's blog at Quilt Happy, Quilt Often.

All the words will be bordered in blue/white.  I'm not sure what direction I'm going with the flower blocks.

Pot Pincher

I made this pot pincher for one of our employees that is leaving after four years. She worked for us for 2 of her high school years and 2 years of college and now she she leaving her part time convenience store job for a full time job. Since I was always shulping my handiwork back and forth to work, and I would show them what I was working on whether that wanted to see it or not, I thought it would be appropriate to make something for her.  And since she has to bake every time she works in our deli area I thought a pot holder would be approximate. I'm making another one and also giving her a M&M bobble head.

It was really fun to make and goes together very easily.

Mini Log Cabin

I bought this cute little metal holder thingy a long time ago with the idea that I would make mini seasonal quilts and change them every month.  Well, that just haven't happened, I've used it for a few odd ball things, but for the most part it just sits empty.  So today I decided it was time to change that.  I had the need to just sit and sew without having to think or concentrate on anything so I made this cute little log cabin quilt.  The log cabin is one of my favorite quilt blocks and I love this fabric I think because it looks very Little House on the Prairie to me.
