Thank you..What color are you painting your sewing room?

I'm painting it the same beige as the rest of the house... the same color all over makes it look bigger.

No sewing today. I'm building a 48"x48" spice rack for my pantry. I use the large containers of spices (from Costco) and its a pain sorting thru them on the shelves. This will also hold all the wraps and Baggie boxes.

I just finished making a batch of Sausage Balls for next week. My DS will be in from Tulsa for a few days and he loves them.

Finished the top for a baby quilt -- hope to del around Dec 15.

Now that sounds like a great idea!!! Please post when done. I would love to see it.

Finssihing the quilt I started with the preschool (threes and fours) on Friday. The day before each one colored a block of muslin. Then I brought in my sewing machine and each child got to "sew" a strip of fabrice to their square. I put the pedal on the table so each one got to press the pedal to sew. It was so much fun. Then I sewed them into strips and sewed the strips together. Their eyes got so big as the top grew and grew. One little boy stayed with me all day. He was so fascinated with the machine.

I will finish it today and send to the class. It is my daughter's class so now I have a job for life when they do their quilt unit.

I used to do a similar activity every year that I taught.. For multicultural night we made a quilt with squares designed using fabric crayons. Each child found and shared a Folk Tale from the country their family immigrated from, drew a picture to represent the tale, added the name of the Folk Tale, country it was from, and their name....I sashed them together in red, white and blue, to represent the US that binds us all together..It was a favorite for my kids and parents every year. Many times a parent that spoke the language of origin would come and read the tale in the language, and the child read it in English...

I was not too inspired to work today. Went to Joannes to get fabric for a pink and white baby quilt I am doing for a friend in Warm Wishes. She needs it for a baby shower on the 1st, which means I need to get moving since I hand quilt. I also need to make 8 quilted stockings. My DD is a meat manager for a supermarket, and wants stockings for each of her employees in her department. Going to do them with strings ....Looks like Sunday and the rest of the week will be busy!!
