New Laptop Sleeve

So here it is....

My new Laptop sleeve. I love it. It's a little tight, but something that didn't take long at all to make. I just got this new MacBook Pro 17' and I needed some padding for it. It was made using Brother Sister Design Studio fabric from Hobby Lobby and fleece lining. 

So I'm off for the weekend to the beach....

Quilting and Sewing!

Film in the Fridge's blog puts me to shame.  Her fabric and quilts are amazing!

So now that I have all this free time being unemployed and all it's time to get some projects done. Today I ran across one of my mom's quilt books and I really like this quilt on the cover. Maybe I will make that my large project. I've never completed a legit quilt (the one or two I have done have been simple squares with frayed edges). I love 50s look of this of this and it gives me the opportunity to use some vintage fabrics!

Cover of Quilting with My Sister by: Brandeburg and Christopherson. Lots of great quilt patterns can be found in this book, but I can't wait to start on the cover quilt!

Check out this Pin Cushion by: GeorgiaMcDonald. Isn't it just adorable. The pattern can be found at Heather Bailey's Blog.

Other projects on my to-do list include putting up my inspiration board, making a dress form cover, a laptop sleeve, and plenty of other items I'm sure I'm forgetting about.
