I am one of them....

I read A TON of blogs- one might say too many.  I love looking at everyone else's idea of cute and seeing their creativity in different ways.  I always get frustrated when I come across a blog I like reading and they update a lot and then nothing for weeks or months, I am now one of those people.  I was trying to be consistent but something got the best of me (it may be that I am trying to train myself for a 10k, conferences just ended at school, my husband has been in town, I watch entirely too many shows, or my obsession with my Halloween quilt in progress). Since I decided not to decorate my mantle or house for St. Patrick's Day this year I have not changed much around my house this month.  I am really excited for Spring to arrive so I can pull out my cute stuff!

The past couple of weekends I have been working on this - I can't get enough.  I really love applique. It is a work in progress because I can only find time during the weekend to sit down and really put together a square.  It is a lot of work and has been going a lot faster with the help from my mom, there are a lot of steps involved.  This is what I have completed so far......

The mummy was my first square- very detailed.

The cat was fun because it had some hand embroidery on it.

The spiders legs are beads.

My favorite so far. 

He is obviously not finished.  He needs an eye ball and more machine appliquéing .  

I got a bunch of fabric in the mail from etsy this week so I am really excited.  I am also working on some other projects for a shopping day at school next month, lots to do! (Maybe I shouldn't have spent the last three hours glued to the tv watching the Bachelor finale, I get so attached).

I think the main reason I love putting things together with fabric is because I love to match fabrics.
