A productive week

It does not feel as though I got to spend a great deal of time sewing this week, but when I look back I can see that I did actually accomplish quite a bit.

Starting with tonight I decided to make a gift for one of my PIF recipients for 2012,  So far I have two ladies that have taken up the offer for me to make them a gift, and in return they make 3 more friends a gift, paying it forward.  So if you are interested, be quick and leave me a message and you can be lucky number three.

As we are heading into winter, what better way to cheer up a room than a colourful cushion, so this is what I made using a charm pack called Twirl.  I did have a bit of trouble with my automatic button hole function not doing what it was supposed to, but then again its probably the user (grin).

Mid week I put the borders on Leos Big boy bed quilt and tonight my initial plan was to lay this out and pin it ready for quilting, until I realised that I did not have a piece of batting large enough.  Never mind, I need to get Mitchell's Big Boy bed quilt put together so I will purchase the batting for both of them at the same time.  Here is the flimsy, a nice size to fit onto a single bed.  I think I will bind this in the orange.

Earlier in the week I worked on more scrappy strips and joined some together to make blocks, here are the first five.  This is going to be a fun quilt when its finished, and it will be made entirely from my scrap box.

Well, thats been my week, now I am going blog hopping to read all about yours.
