September is my month that I set aside to make boutique items for our local guilds annual fund raiser, a holiday boutique. I feel its my responsibility to keep our guild alive (I love great speakers and workshops and our guild is good at that). Our guild helps our community and learn. So I try to make as much stuff as I can. Here are a few more items.

I've made Christmas and Halloween little gift bags, and thought people would give little gifts at Valentines too. |
|
More cord cozies. |
|
Won these 5" squares at one of the guilds little quilt drawing. Thought I'd put them to use for the boutique. It's a small baby quilt. |
|
What little kid wouldn't want an Olaf (of Frozen) quilt? |
|
And for the boys, a little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle quilt. |
|
An adult size lap quilt for Halloween. |
|
Some fun Minkee baby hats. |
I got all my consignment quilts ready to go tonight. I'm putting a lot of them out to sell. If one sells I'll be thrilled - but I want to give people options. :) I'm happy that there are at least 6 of us who will sell bigger quilts on consignment. I hope people will understand the reason they will be more expensive than the quilts you see at Target or Bed, Bath & Beyond. These quilts are unique, hand made with love.
And now some stuff for me. When putting my quilting stuff out this past weekend, I didn't have a little quilt for the end of our counter where I keep the fruit bowl. And bowl has a skeleton on/in it.
And I finally caught up on the Shabby Fabrics Pillow of the Month club. Well I shouldn't say I caught up - I still haven't done the Summer one with Watermelons. I don't really like that one so I'm thinking of parting it out and making some cute pillows as gifts or next years' boutique.
Well that's it. I might make some other little boutique things. I do have 10 days, ya know! I still have the Christmas quilt to machine quilt that I made for consignment but since the lady who asked for it last year said it still wasn't big enough, I don't feel like I have to finish it this year. I'm in no rush. It's pinned and ready to go. After the boutique I'll work on that.
My sisters are coming in a couple weeks. Really excited to see them. I only get to see them once or twice a year. And I know my dad is excited for company.
Thanks for looking.
Sewing up a storm! wow. I've got the postcard, and plan to be there. Goals are good! Can't wait to see everything in person. :)
