The Fabric Is Cut!

Ok, so it took me 3 days to cut all the fabric up into the pieces. They are now ready to sew together into squares. YAY! More good news: I found my power cord for my sewing machine! I am so relieved! Anyways, here is the next picture and an idea of what the squares will look like. Since I had two different colors of the character profiles print, I am going to make two different squares.

If it's not one thing...

...It's another!

Well, I have come to my second set back. I forgot that I had not packed my sewing machine cord (with the foot petal attached to the cord...one piece) with my sewing machine. I had accidentally left it connected to the power stripe when I was packing my sewing machine in a box. I was probably distracted in the middle of it by the kiddos. I ended up packing it in a different box and now I can't find it! Ugh! So I'll just continue cutting the material up and unloading boxes. Hopefully I'll find it soon.

On top of that, my parents are coming to visit next week and then the inlaws the week after. It will be good for the kiddos to see their grandparents (and good to get a little help/break from them). I just hope we get over whatever funk is bothering us. The kiddos have runny noses and I have a sore throat. I figure it's related to allergies because when I check out our HEPA filter (which I had put in 2 weeks ago) it looked like it had been in there for 3 months! Plus the we were around a house with a small dog and that might have caused some of it too (Gabriel had a runny nose on the way home). Although he wasn't allergic to dogs when we had him tested, maybe he has acquired a new allergy?

Future Projects With the Other Wizard of Oz Fabric I have

Here is the fabric for the other quilt I plan on making in color.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Not quite sure what I'm going to do with this yet.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I have 2 panels of this so I plan on making a large tote with the larger squares and maybe wall decorations with the smaller ones. On the other panel, I plan on making the same large squares into pillows and the same as above with the smaller ones.

Wizard of Oz Update

Sooooo....I realized today that I had only ordered 2 yards of the backing instead of the 4 that I meant. Oh well. I am just going to make this a smaller lap quilt. I have color Wizard of Oz material I got for a second one for her that will be quite a bit larger. I guess it will be a good starter.

Wizard of Oz Quilt

Ok so my camera's card finally decided to work. Here is a picture of the fabric I have so far. I am just waiting on getting a craft table from Lowes (because they have a 6 ft table cheaper than a 5 ft table Staples had) and another one I found when I was ordering the rest that hopefully will match. As soon as I get the table I am going to start cutting the fabric into squares. This is my first quilt that I am going to attempt to make. My mom LOVES the Wizard of Oz so I will hopefully get this done before Christmas! It would have been a good birthday present too, but I don't think I'll get it done in a month and a half. Especially with 2 kids, but Gabriel is starting school in a couple weeks which will give me a couple hours when Katheryn is taking her nap during the day to work on it. Who knows.

Quilt

Ok, so I realized yesterday that I didn't order enough fabric (1/2 yard too short in 4 different patterns). So I ordered it yesterday and it should be here tomorrow. One is on backorder though. I am going to be getting a 6 ft craft table so that I can have room to work. As soon as I get my camera acting better I'll get the first pictures up!
