A Little More Sewing

 Yesterday morning was spent on some housekeeping and laundry as well as kitchen time.  I made a brownie and jello and a delicious chicken and rice casserole for lunch.  Today will just be leftovers which is nice.

When I made it into the sewing room, I finished cutting the first 3 deer aka Rudy for the Randolph and Rudy quilt.  Then I started the sewing.  I had to do a little "surgery" on the ears as I used an incorrect piece at one point.  (This means I'm going to have to cut a few replacement pieces for future deer.)  

Each deer face has 51 pieces!  So add 153 to the current total.  Those little triangle pieces around the nose are almost microscopic!

Then, I decided to clean up the piles of fabrics and reorganize so that I might work on something else for a bit.

This stack of fat quarters arrived this week and I will be making the hashtag pattern for a new quilt for Sarah's bed.  I also went digging and found the background I want to use from my stash.  I set those aside too as my next plan is to work on her t-shirt quilt.  I was able to borrow a couple of very large rulers from a friend at quilt guild, so want to get that one underway.  I'll probably get started today in between piano lessons.  

I did have a little time for sewing last evening, so whipped up 2 pair of our block lotto blocks for January.  These were super easy after deer and bear faces.

I'll put these in the block lotto at the meeting in February.  Maybe I'll win all the blocks!  I doubt it.  I'm not good at "winning" this type of thing.  They were fun to make and a super easy sew after what I'd been working on.

Today is a busy one with lessons in the morning and afternoon.  We're also planning to go to a basketball game this evening, so there will be very little time for sewing.

It's supposed to warm up a little today and tomorrow so hopefully some melting will happen.
