~What's everyone working on this month?
I have some yard sale stuff to alter, a few gifts to make and I'm still working on a couple of quilts.~

I will be working on clothespin bags and purses this month.

Clothespin bags DC - for your personal use, gifts or craft fair? You always are coming up with something new!!

Nuisance, like you I will be working on some gifts and some quilts for the preschool. I am slowly uncovering/discovering things/treasures in my sewing room.

Oh, I forgot, I have the wolf lap quilt that I need to do the hand quilitng on too. That's good, a combination of machine and hand sewing!!

Both the clothespin bags and the purses will be for the craft fair MM.

How much space do you have? Cannot wait to see pictures!!

I'm hoping to turn to favorite sweaters into winter hats, leg warmers, and pillows.

Still trying to figure out how to do it.

~That's fantastic, Stinkbug! I love the celery/red combo!~

It is only a 10x10 foot space, but I am going to have it crammed pack!

I never thought of taking pictures but now I will!

Imagine - if you figure out how to do that, please let us know! They idea sounds so interesting!

Stinkbug - the quilt is beautiful! Great job!

Mojjo - what a fun sounding weekend!

Yes, DC, take pics. I don't know how many you plan to do but sometimes (in my past experience) they want pics of your prior booths. So take some good ones.

**mauimagic** · 10-02-2009, 03:27 AM

and here I was just selfishly wanting to see your booth...... and the pictures are setting you up on a new career!!

**frugalfranny** · 10-02-2009, 03:28 AM

I will probably concentrate on mainly quilts but I have some fleece for some new 'winter' pants and some snowmen flannel for a couple shirts....if and when I get to them.

Have to get a few t-shirt bags made to put Xmas in too......will have to hit a thrift shop first. Have decided to make a tote for a gift.

**mauimagic** · 10-02-2009, 03:56 AM

Snowmen flannel fabric - sounds perfect for some shirts!! Lucky you.

I'm finishing home made snuggies for friends and family.

I'm making them out of heavy weight polar fleece, and putting on a pocket for reading glasses and remote controls.

And I need to finish a quilt I started forever ago. It's OK looking, but it turns out I'm not a fan of quilting. I like the sewing, but HATE the cutting out part.
