Good grief.

I haven't written a blog post since January? Wow. I can't believe how time flies since I started my new job. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do, not to mention what I have to do. Not that there ever were enough hours, but there are a whole lot less now. Funny how my "part-time" job has become more and more "full-time" as I've gone along. Still, I have squeezed in some sewing time here and there. It's almost a necessity when you're surrounded by fabric all day, talking to people who have fun, creative projects going on at their house. It's more than a little contagious.

So this is what I've been working on since... January. (Still can't believe it's been that long.)

A Noah's Ark Disappearing Nine-Patch baby quilt for a friend at our church, who recently had a beautiful baby girl...


With my first attempt at a pieced quilt back...




And another scrappy Fun with Bricks baby quilt for my husband's cousin, who recently had an adorable baby boy...


I used a coloring page as a pattern for the puppy applique (someone had to be responsible for all those paw prints on the border)...


A bag for my daughter (she picked out the fabrics and the McCall's pattern -- very cute pattern, but a real bugger to sew. Tons of gathering.)...


And yet another fleece blanket, this one for my mother-in-law's birthday (after the Great Fleece Blanket Binge of Christmas '09, I thought I'd never want to make another one -- but they do make a great gift, and making just one is actually fun)...


I have another major project in the works, though I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'll save that one for another post (hopefully NOT in three more months). I've also been playing with my new chenille cutter on some flannel quilt blocks, so hope to have something finished there soon, too.

And since it happens to be Friday -- or at least it was Friday when I sat down at the computer -- I'm linking up to Sew & Tell Friday at Amylouwho's blog. Looking forward to seeing all the latest projects!
