Borders and Promises

I am caught up with Borders and Promises. I really am loving working on this BOM. It is too warm to sit with a quilt in my lap quilting, so I have been doing embroidery when I have time to do some handwork. This has been a very busy spring. Not so much right now, though. We need rain bad. So, since it is so dry, don't need to mow and no gardening. Not even the weeds are growing. Of course the chicks, ducks, and rabbits keep me busy, but that is just a couple of times a day.

Anyway, back to Borders and Promises....I have already shared blocks one and two with you. Here is block three...

Block four....

I just finished block five yesterday. I have had the embroidery done for a while, but needed to sew the sashing on it.  Here it is.....

I think these are going to make a very pretty small quilt.

I also did some sewing yesterday. My poor sewing machine thought I had abandoned it. LOL I was supposed to be repairing a rip in Kevin's shirt, thanks to Sassy, but never did get around to that. I made Kevin a bag to carry his headphones in. Then I decided I needed a case for my Sony MP3 player that actually fit. I made a case for my first player. Then when I bought this one, it was too long to fit into the case. I gave the old player and case to Kevin. I finally got around to making a new case for mine. I just used a few scraps. Here is the front of it.....

I left an opening in the bottom left corner for the headphones to plug into the player. Here is the back of it, hooked onto the arm strap....

Here it is opened up. It fits perfectly and works great when I go on a walk.

I love it when I can create something that we need that would cost at least $20 to buy.  Kevin loved his bag for his headphones so much that he asked me to make him another bag to keep all his recharging cords in. Let's see he has a laptop, Sony MP3 player, Zune, Kindle, Pad, and Palm. So yes, he has a lot of cords to try to keep track of. LOL He is the King of electronic gadgets. LOL
I hope you all have a good day. It is nice here today, only in the 70's. Supposed to be a good chance of rain tonight and tomorrow. I am praying we get it. Thanks for visiting. Please come again.

Promises and Borders

Thank you all for your kind 'welcome back's to me. I have missed blogging. I haven't even commented on blogs much in the past couple of months, but I'm trying to change that before I get waist deep in the garden. LOL It is raining here, but 60*. Such weird weather for the end of Feb. Makes me wonder what kind of a summer we are going to have. Last summer was so hot, I hope this isn't a repeat.

I am working on several BOMs this year. Not really a surprise, huh? LOL Anyway, so far I am keeping up. I thought I'd share Promises and Borders with you first. Oh my goodness, I am loving this BOM. It is from Jenny at Elefantz. I picked out the fabrics and have them already cut to size. Here is the first block.

This is a closeup of the verse.

Here is block 2.

A closeup of block 2....

Jenny used variegated floss, so I went to JoAnn's and bought some with a coupon. I like embroidering with this.

Aren't these the cutest blocks? I love embroidering the Bible verses. I can hardly wait for the next block to be released, which should be in a couple of days.

Thank you for visiting. Please come again. You all have a wonderful day.
