Fabulous weekend!

In addition to being a long weekend, labour day weekend most often falls on my birthday.  This year, I spent a lot of time in my sewing room, but for the most part, not sewing:



 I was re-organizing my sewing room and stash, building furniture from Ikea for my sewing room (those dressers will be red soon, as will the dining table [six feet long!] I bought at a yard sale about a month ago), but I did find time for some sewing - namely those sewing machine covers at the back of my sewing room. 




There are four machines I use often - three sewing machines plus my needle felter - I thought I had five machines in total - but shame on me - when I pulled everything out of the closet, I found two more! Oops! (Don't tell BSP!)

Anyway, I made covers for four of them out of this fun Alexander Henry fabric I bought. I only bought slightly more than a yard of it to get the full repeat - so little because I couldn't imagine what I might someday do with it, but I couldn't resist it.




And in between, I found time to work some more on a quilt, time for a romantic dinner, time with family, and golf with friends .



 Later this week, I'll have a finish to show you. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

  4. Kit - when is your birthday exactly? My son is called Kit and his birthday is 9th September.

    Other thing I have learnt from your blog - IKEA is in Canada! I didn't know that so next time I am in IKEA in Milton Keynes, England I will think of you!
