Catch-up!

I feel like I have been saying this for a while now, but it was another crazy busy week! My Mom came to visit from Ohio for four days! We had a blast! There was lots of shopping, thrifting, and eating! We even squeezed a movie and some sewing in too. I miss her already!

I've been slowly getting back into my normal routine, and was able to spend some time in the sewing room today.  I finally turned these stamped George panels I made into mini quilts today! They were quick and a fun way to use these panels.  Although, I don't think I'll be using linen for binding again anytime soon.  It was a bit fussy and thick to mess with.  But, oh well! I used Coquette by Pat Bravo and Reunion by Sweetwater to frame them!

Yesterday I made up another Wiksten Tank (by Jenny Gordy). This time I used some Innocent Crush Voile by Anna Maria Horner. The voile wasn't quite as easy to work with as quilting cotton, but it fits a lot better and was really lovely to wear, so soft! Plus, I was able to get an entire tank out of 1 yard since it's extra wide. Woo hooo! :)

After I dropped my Mom off at the airport on Thursday, I needed a little project to cheer me up. I decided it was high time to recover my ironing board! I used Randi's sew-along, it was super easy to follow!  The fabrics I used are Lark home dec by Amy Butler, Kona Coal, and an unknown turquoise solid from a scrap bundle. I love my new cover!

I've been stitching away on my pillow top! I'm a very slow hand quilter, but I think it will be worth it! I like how it's turning out so far.

Eeee! Look what has arrived?! Hello Pilgrim by Lizzy House! The colors are so fresh and have me dreaming of spring! I bought my bundle from The Intrepid Thread as soon as it came in! Now I'm just waiting for the Jewel prints from this line to come! :)

We hit the motherload of sheets this weekend! I'm trying to be a bit pickier about the prints I carry, so I was happy to find this many in one week! They're all in the shop now!

English Muffin Bread, a photo by jenib320 on Flickr.

When I found this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I needed to try it immediately.  I love toast, and this English Muffin Bread recipe promised to be the best.  And I have to admit, it's really good! I halved the recipe and made two loafs on Thursday.. and I'm almost through the second loaf already, hehe!
