CraftyME: Hey Ma Look what I made!!

   I woke up this sweltering morning in kind of a CraftyME mood. Now you would think I woulda picked up some knitting after spending all day Saturday surrounded by yarny goodness. Nah. I knew I was going to knit group later. I'm still stuck on this idea of sewing and quilting. But since WannaME lost her everlovin mind at MDSW yesterday and spent the craft budget for the next xyz# months, who knows when I'll get to start quilting.
 But I was pretty smart on Friday after my doctor's appointment.  I went down to Spool fabric store to do some browsing on my day in the city. I ohh'd and ahh'd over all the pretty fabric choices. I found yet another type of quilt to be obsessed over. Kaffe Fassett inspired quilts such as this one created by Sunnysidey.

Thankfully I was overwhelmed with all the variety and I didn't want to tap into the $$ I set aside for Saturday. So I just bought a couple of KF fat quarters to make a bag that WannaME's been eyeballing.

 So this morning I dove in. The Buttercup bag pattern looked simple enough. HA HA HA yeah right. Somewhere along the line I forgot that I can barely sew in a straight line. At least my cutting straightened up a little.  Still I trudged through. I was finishing this damn thing. TODAY. 3 hrs or so later. Ta dah!!!! My first full on sewing FO.

Go ME. Go ME. Kaffe Fassett quilts I'm coming for you......

WannaME: I think I've found it...

Ok, I've been looking and looking. And now I think I've found what is gonna be my actual first foray into quilting. Yeah I know I picked out that pink hexagon-y one but that may be a tad bit outside my skill set. My WannaME eyes tend to be a bit bigger than my CraftyME stomach so to speak. Since sewing is so high on WannaME's TTDL (things to do list), I have been wandering through page after page in the Sew Obssesed forum over on RAV. As always the OnlineCrackSpot is chockful of info and links. It brought me to Studio eFabrics which seems to have a lot of great FREE patterns. I like the Essentials ones. Especially this one because it looks like Swirls. (of course.) I think I just might be able to make my way through this one. Even if I can barely sew a straight line. We'll see.......

WannaME: Ooo I wanna make that....quilt

And this is why I should not be allowed on the internet without adult supervision.  Just sitting here clicking the next blog button, scoping out other sites. Look what I came across. JediKnits is amazingly talented. I Wanna make that.....
