Last year some wonderful bloggers set up a finish-a-long, and there are great prizes. Happily, the group is continuing this year and I'm going to join again.
If you're interested, you can find all the details here.
For this quarter here are my entries:
1) A Christmas tree skirt I started in time to finish for Christmas, then I came down with a nasty sinus infection and it got put to the side. It's #1 on the list.
2) A one piece snake suit for my eldest niece. The fabric was bought around Hallowe'en but she said she wasn't in a hurry, so it's still sitting in my sewing room. Honestly, I'm stalling a bit because it's a knit and I haven't sewn a real knit for quite some time.
3) A pair of red and white mittens for myself. I've had the pattern for a long time and finally got a suitable yarn for them.
4) A quilt for a friend at work who is having her first baby, a little boy, and she wants a sports theme. I know the pattern, I just can't find it in the mess of my sewing room right now.
5) Finally, this fabric (plus a few others currently in my dryer) will be turned into a variety of pillow and bolster shams. The colour looks awful here, but in real life they look much better.
I'm linking up to She Can Quilt to sign up. Wish me luck!

Hallowe'en Sewing
Hallowe'en is just around the corner and I needed to get my costume ready. I've had this in mind since I saw this picture on pinterest:
So, today I got busy. I started with this:
which is some black broadcloth, and 5 different colours of tulle (yellow, purple, black, orange, lime green). The light is horrible in this photo so the purple looks more like pink.
And 2 packages of elastic - 1 package 2" non-roll elastic and 1 package of 3/4" regular elastic.
Then I sewed. I'll reveal on Wednesday.
