Gail had many items to show us today -enough to make it difficult to know where to start.   So we’ll start with the books.   The first was “Adorable Animal Applique”   in which there are absolutely the cutest little animals  in three themes and suggestions as to how to use them.   The themes:  jungle, underwater, and cute monsters.  There were bibs, blankets, bannerspillowcases, and other items, using raw edge appilique.

Another book was called “Kimberbell Halloween, which as the name implies was very Halloween oriented with various projects.  These are two wall hangings and a bag.

From  Smith Street design, there were CDs with applique designs for greeting cards.   Simple and easy to make.

She brought in some red glasses through which it was interesting to look at fabric.   They turned the colors into darks, medium and light.   Some of them really surprised me.

Pearly  Gates does good with mylar and this time, they sent samples of leaves and autumn designs.   Both of these were made into quilts.

I believe this quilt is from “Table Please, part 2” but may be from above.

Isn’t’ this a cute Bitty Buddy waste can to take to  class for your trimmings?

There were other items there without photos, such as a reading light, ruler cutting combo, other patterns, one of which was the BQ series.   I have made and love the first one of this series, though I’m not as impressed with the next three.   But I’m sure others love them.

Not to leave out clothing here is a Simply Elegant Tee which has several lengths of shirt and of sleeve

and a Little Something Jacket (with the tee under)

Isn’t this a cute block designed to look like a button.    It was fun to put together.

All  8 of the Aurifil blocks for this year.   They are being put together to be a Christmas quilt.

This may be a bit tricky to see  because I have a pillowcase in the works.   But it hit me, that some of you may not realize that you don’t need anything fancier than a store bag to catch the scraps the serger removes.

Check some store pillowcases.   They aren’t always perfect either.   So if my trim is a bit off on the side, I let it go.  It’s a PILLOWCASE.

I did grab enough time to get 7 more done today to bring my total to 18.    See, bit by bit, it happens and it really doesn’t take that long.    It does help that my husband pulls the stuffing out of the burrito so the band is right side out.

This morning I did spend about an hour spinning, but it will be awhile yet, before I have more to show.  Spinning is slow, but relaxing.    Now off to get the rest of the steps done tonight.   15,000 daily takes me 1 1/2 – 2 hours plus my normal walking around.   However, it does reduce the muffin top which I don’t want or need.
