Multitasking Friday

Sometimes it gets a little frenetic in my sewing space! There are projects everywhere I look. Quilts I want to work on, stitching for a birthday gift, an embroidery pattern I want to trace, and a baby quilt that need to be finished by Sunday's baby shower (to name just a few!) Yikes!

I had to focus on projects with a deadline and put the fun mystery quilts to the side. I pin basted a baby quilt and started machine quilting.

I love the fabrics in this quilt with all the bunnies playing. Here the Mom is swinging the baby around.

And here are more bunnies playing in the snow and talking to the birds. So darn cute!

It has been a long time since I've worked on a baby quilt, and I want to do more of that in 2023 because it just makes me happy!

I will post the finished quilt photos after the Mom and Dad-to-be get to see their quilt.


Happy Friday the 13th! It's my son's birthday today and yes, he was actually born on Friday the 13th!

Sometimes the deadlines have to leap in front of all the other fun. The fabrics in your baby quilt are really cute. Happy birthday to your Friday the 13th son.

That little bunny fabric is SO cute;))) I am all over the place here, too--knitting, crocheting, quilting..hand stitching...I wonder if 2023 will be an unsettled year for me? hugs, Julierose

Today is my late fatherinlaw's birthday as well...not sure if he was born on a Friday. I love Friday the 13th, lucky days for me. I am so close to a finished mystery top that I keep going and am not working on anything else!

I love the bunny fabric in that baby quilt. Happy Birthday to your son. I love when the 13th lands on a Friday. It seems to be lucky for me.

Those deadlines can certainly light a fire in one to get a project completed. This is going to be so darling. I love the bunny fabric.

Yep, I should have worked on my Chilhowie, but I had a Squirrel of a day. Had to play with the Charm Pack Challenge and make a Moda Love Quilt. Cute bunnies. Stitching helped me not think about the 13th, 2 days before I get older.

Cute baby quilt. I’m also working on a project with a short deadline. I spent some time cleaning up my sewing room yesterday. I had to find my rotary cutter….

Cute fabric for a baby quilt. I had to quit the multi-tasking quilting and work on quilting my quilts and binding. May not be what I want but it was time. Have a great week-end. Hugs

I know that feeling in the sewing room--way too many options, but a need to focus on what needs a finish first.
That is very cute fabric in the baby quilt--can't wait to see the whole thing.

Our family has always liked the number 13 and Friday the 13th.
