The Lusty Month of May

May got away from me.  I got some stuff accomplished I swear.
This pic is crap but anyway I finished these socks...



And these socks.


And started a new pair. They started as Hermione's Everyday Socks but I didn't like the texture of the fabric created by the pattern so I ended up using the same pattern that I used for the last three pairs.


I think I'm going to take a break from socks after this pair. I still have enough Felici sock yarn for 3 more pairs but I need a break.

I finally finished the Swatch Quilt that I started awhile ago.  I got to use my mom's Featherweight!  It runs so well and with the special 1/4" seam allowance foot that I bought I get perfect seams now :)


Once I got the top pieced together I switched to my Brother sewing machine and started sewing the sandwich together.  So much puckered fabric.  I'll have to do a better job basting next time.  



It has lots of probs.  (I machine sewed the binding instead of hand sewing so it's not great looking.  Definitely not county fair worthy.) But I still really like it and it will be great for keeping warm on the couch this winter.


I still need to finish my Christine's Kitchen Quilt but I also really want to sew some capris and tops for work.  I'm so inspired by Sonya Philip and her 100 Acts of Sewing Patterns and all the awesome posts during Me Made May and I want to participate next year so I need to start creating some clothes!

Here is cat "helping".
