What's up Wednesday!


Back to school sewing:  Me edition (just a little zip pouch to hold my phone and keys while carrying the baby in a carrier back and forth to the girls' school.)


Granny Square Sampler Along:  figuring out how to join all the squares together (similar to improv quilting!) 


(thinking I should have this done by New Year's - 2017!)



What else to do when you don't have a working sewing machine?  Why, crochet some hats - for everyone you know - of course!  I forgot how much I enjoy small crochet projects like this.



I should have a sewing machine by next week but for now I have no progress to report on any of my WIPs.

Linking up to WIP Wednesday and TGIFF.

  3. So sorry about your machine, but I love that pouch you made. The linen is perfect, and I love the idea of using snippets of Summersville as an accent. It really helps the details of that print stand out!
