Another thing before I get to my update. I know I've raved about Hart's Fabric before and just got a second package from them for a recent order. This one I'm blaming on Debbie because she shared a Heather Ross fabric I didn't know existed. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you may remember that I have a bit of a snail obsession. I doodle them all the time and do have a project I want to make soon that incorporates a snail. I checked around for someone that may still have yardage of it and found that Hart's does. I bought enough to make a blouse when I find the time. This print is a double gauze and so soft. I have a slight obsession with this type of fabric. Of course, I had to take advantage of the free (but quick, mind you!) shipping and put a couple more fabrics in my cart. In went another Heather Ross (more double gauze-y goodness) and a woven print. I'm not sure if I like the brightness of the right side of the fabric or the muted wrong side more. I guess I will decide once I come to use it.
I don't normally post about other giveaways on another blog, but if you're interested in shopping at Hart's Fabric, Tasia at Sewaholic is having a giveaway for $100 to Hart's. The giveaway ends tomorrow, so enter quickly!
Now on with the show. Linking up at Freshly Pieced as usual.
Completed:
One of Chad's vests and a scarf - There are more to come, though they will be added as I start working on them.
Mouthy Stitches Swap pouch - I loved this swap and look forward to participating again with this group.
Progress Made:
Garter Stitch scarf - just a few more rows knit on this one.
Sparkle QAL - I did a tiny bit of sewing on the last block. I just need to finish it and put it with the rest of the top.
1912 Project: February Pattern - I prewashed my fabric and just need to get to work on this.
No Progress:
Quilt Challenge of the Month: February - I haven't touched this since picking out the fabrics for the windows. Maybe this weekend?
Sewing Machine Cover - no new progress on this, but I did decide to buy different templates to replace the plastic ones I have. I bought hexagons and a few other shapes from Paper Pieces. Now that they have arrived, I'm going to start over. My progress was stalled because of my dislike so I hope to get this one done rather quickly.

Nesting Place class - still killing me that I haven't worked on this.

Embroidery Journal Project: February - I did buy the threads I will need for these months and the next couple, but I'm waiting on a reference book to arrive in the mail. Then I will have no excuse not to get stitching.

Have a great day! See you tomorrow for Fresh Sewing Day.

Thanks for mentioning the giveaway. I'd LOVE to win that one! The way you describe it, snow doesn't seem quite so much fun as I'd imagined. Perhaps a snow blower is like a leaf blower. When I use ours (not often), I manage to blow away the pebbles on the drive, as well as the leaves... LOL!!! Hope you don't have to do any more shovelling...
