Friday was spent at home with the family and then back to Mandy's parents for dinner.
Today, however, I excused myself to the studio cave (with Mandy's permission, of course) and began sewing blocks for my Curious Nature quilt for Simple Quilts magazine. What a process! After one mistake was corrected in the quilting math, progress is being made. I hope to finish this up to send out to the quilters by the middle of next week. Photography is scheduled for the 8th of December!! Eeeep! I only received the fabrics a few days ago. Might need to quilt this myself depending on how long it takes me to finish.
I took a break during the middle of the day to make a bag from Jeni Baker's AWESOME drawstring bag tutorial for my Secret Santa Swap (#ssswap on twitter) partner. All the handmade presents I sewed and purchased fat quarters fit right inside perfectly!
Now I just need to wrap everything and send it off to my partner. Once I get a chance to take better pictures of everything I'll post an update here.
Rowan spent a little time with me in the studio too. Mandy sent him in for a "break." AKA: A time out. He was a little wound up from all the activity this weekend. We chatted a while during sewing and he settled down.
Hope you have a great Sunday!

Sometimes all a little guy needs is time alone with his dad! Too much estrogen and little guys go nuts. He is lucky to have you! Does he love that you make quilts?
I love the little bag! But boy you must be quick to just whip it up while on a little break. That would be a whole days worth of work for me. Lol... Some of you quilters just amaze me. Hopefully one day I'll be a little quicker and more efficient. A girl can hope anyway! Can't wait to see the quilt!
Thank you for such a brilliant idea. I like this beautiful and lovely bag. Its look very simple and cute. Also its useful in our routine life.
