Superhero bags

 I've seen some really fun Superhero projects on pinterest but so far we aren't really into super heros and Matt has no special interest in any of them. So, when I wanted to make something for some of my young cousins and I found out they do like super heroes it seemed like a good time to pull one of those pins out. (specific one here)

 I apologize for the absolutely awful pictures. But I forgot to photograph them at all so last minute pictures are all I have. 

They are both paper pieced ... Paper piecing is a really cool way to do complicated images  but not something I would really want to do a lot of... ever...

Hulk actually looks quite different then the original. I thought he needed an actual nose and eyes. 

I put them onto drawstring bags... I wanted the gifts to be useful... possibly not the most appropriate place to put something that took so much time to create but hopefully it means they will get a lot of use out of them! 

Drowning in projects

So many projects, so little time. As if I didn't have enough to do, I am one of the suckers who signed on to do the the cathedral window quilt. I got my fabric, washed it, and got my sewing kit together. What I didn't do was read all the instructions. What I know now is there are a million blocks in this quilt. I may have to hurt Kelly....... Today I completed 3 large blocks, 2 small blocks and I am not sure I want to look at them again. So I went on to a smaller fun project, got mostly done to find out I didn't have enough stuffing to complete it! I did get a small bag done and now I am crocheting tiny flowers again. If all else fails, I can crochet tiny flowers.......
