4/19 April Tag & a little sewing

This month Joan is asking a few questions about our magazine preferences for the Charming Girls Quilt Club April Tag.

1.which magazines do I prefer???
Here are just a few from my collection;

Funny how those I chose were all in the orange/yellow colorway and then my lighting didn't help matters much. I don't subscribe to the magazines because I like to look through them first to see if there is anything I would make. If I were to subscribe to one it would be the Quilts and More most likely.

2. have I made any projects from the magazines?
3. would I show them?
College girl saw this quilt while I was flipping through the magazine and fell in love with it.


So I made it with almost the exact same fabrics. This was her freshman year of college quilt;


Then I made a purse following these directions;

College girl picked the fabrics out for this one. She likes it but really prefers a bigger bag.


Another bag that I made;


I made this for an auction. The checkbook cover was made using a tutorial found at Crazymomquilts(did you hear she is coming back???!!)


Finally, I did get a little sewing done this evening - very little.

The binding for the Blush table runner. I need to finish getting the POSH binding glued to the back of the quilt so that I can get to stitching that at home and I need to get the Blush binding attached so that I can take that with me on Friday. Possibly the Verna quilt will go along with me as well.

I vacuumed my sewing room today which has to be done with the hose attachment because there was SO much thread on the floor it would just get tangled in the beater brush. Well it looked so good when I was finished that I decided to clean off my sewing tables as well as my cutting table. They were quite the mess and it took me a couple of hours but it looks so much better now. I just smile every time I walk into the room. I kind of don't want to mess it up by sewing!! That won't last long though. :) Hubby walked in, noticed right away and was surprised. I had to have my son take a look around and be more observant, he then asked when I was going to clean off the scrapbooking side of the room. **rolling my eyes**
