Vintage Housewife

I'm still stitching along on Vintage Housewife.  I was going to start stitching the fun stuff in the remaining boxes but decided that future self would really appreciate it if I got started on the gingham border!

More playing around

These browns came from the fat eighth bin at my LQS.  I found the houndstooth at a shop in Huntsville.  I'm not sure how I'm going to finish these so I think they will go into timeout for a while.  I used my 4 inch Qube for cutting out the pieces. I call these browns "coffee colors": black coffee, coffee with cream, and how my mom drinks coffee!

A little piecing

I've gotten in a little piecing lately.  The bowties are samples for Karen Montgomery's Tuxedo Ties pattern.  I cut both styles of these bowties with my 8 inch Qube.  They were fun to make so I cut more of my repro stash to use as leaders and enders.

This is the August block for my LQS' Saturday Sampler.  She gave us the pattern for Block 9 which caused me a little distress, thinking I'd lost a block, when I realized that August is the eighth month.  I really like the colors in this sampler.

Still stitching along

I got behind a little on the SAL but I'm caught up through August now!  I'm doing some traveling in October so I'll keep September and October for the trip.

Friendship Chain sample

So I've been working on a sample for the book club.  This is another Karen Montgomery companion pattern.  I cut into my Tula Pink ROAR fabric.  I don't know why but this felt like cutting money!  I love this fabric so much.  It might be the first Tula Pink fabric I've ever bought.  Don't get me wrong, I love Tula Pink but she's more into the intense, neon colors and I'm just not.  However, during the All Texas Shop Hop I found out that my DH LOVES neon colors.  He kept petting the Tula Pink fabric in all the stores.  Go figure!
