Sewing Weekend planned!
 
DD is at her grandparents as of last night so I went to JoAnn's today to see if their flannel was still on sale for $2.99/yd; it was! So I got enough for 3 receiving blankets along with a yardage for DD's skirt I want to make. I also picked up June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler for $15 since I had a 50% coupon!

I also got 4 bird houses that I plan to Mod Podge with scrap fabric for Mother's Day gifts; craft project with DD. I saw the idea here.

Sounds like a great weekend. I finished my mother-in-law's Mothers Day gift yesterday (a mini bow tuck). Now I need to make my mom's stuff. She's getting a fanny pack and a sewing machine caddy. Hopefully I can figure out the fanny pack directions without too much trouble (it's from Lazy Girls). I need to go to Joanns' to get fabric for the caddy though; Hobby Lobby didn't have any prequilted fabric.

Love the birdhouses!!! DH builds birdhouses. I need to ask for a couple to "play" around with! Thanks for the link, and good luck with yours. Please post a photo when you have them completed.

Isn't it cute! I figured Little Bit would have fun with it. Plus I have a ton of scraps she plays with. Mine won't match in colors as much as hers but it will still be fun.

I think I might also attempt a Mug Rug this weekend too. I think they are just too cute and I found a cute fat quarter bundle at Wal-Mart today.

Oh and I made my Mom a quilt a couple of months ago. So she don't need another one plus this would be fun. :)

Sounds like a great time! I'm going to be sewing too, my daughter-in-law and the two grandkids need poodle skirts for a 50's party next weekend.

The girls love painting the dollar bird houses from Joanne's. I have several of them hanging in my trees.

I, too, plan to sew this weekend. I have jelly rolls & hope to whip out a couple of Jelly Roll Race quilts so I can figure out what to do re borders on them. Plus... I have to work on cleaning my sewing room. Ick! But it needs to get done.

Everyone seems to have lots planned for the weekend. I got one self binding receiving blanket done. Now to decide what to do next, another blanket or try the mug rug. Hmmmm....

I plan on quilting most of the weekend. I have this gift to finish for the Thurs before Memorial Day. I think I'm on schedule - as long as life doesn't fall apart!! Absolutely zero time for life to fall apart!!

I may do something small like place mats. Picked up a cute bundle at Joann's several weeks ago in black, yelllow and gray. I have a couple of other projects going on but am trying to recover from carpal tunnel and it's really cramping my style, so am trying to behave and let it heal. If the weather is a gorgeous as predicted, I'm thinking hubby will get out the motorcycle and it will be my sole job to hold the backset down! Put on some serious miles, have lunch out and stop for ice cream

I got 2 blankets made, they are in the dryer now. And they are SOLD! My friend who emboriders wants them for her business. So yay for that!

Next up is the Mug Rug. When I told hubby about them, he asked for one for his boss. So now to figure out colors.

I will be finishing up a dress for my DGD and then doing some handquilting on my civil war quilt. Running to JoAnns in the morning to get fabric for 3 more dresses/short sets for same DGD to work on next week.

Enjoy every minute of your sewing weekend! I would love to have one. ;)

I enjoyed yesterday! I didn't start until that afternoon due to errands but I got 2 blankets and a mug rug done! I think I will work on the blanket my Mom wants then start on the quilt for my cousin.
