I have been doing lots of sewing this week so far. I have also gotten lots of housework done. And you know what? I don't mind the housework taking me away from the sewing as much, when I know I have so much more time to do both since I am off all week. This is great! So here are some more pictures of my staycation:
I made another wristlet from Trillium Design's pattern. Seriously love this pattern people.
My daughter has been coveting this purple fabric forever. I had to make her something out of it so she would stay out of my stash. The green dot fabric is Vintage Modern. A perfect match. The purple fabric I tried to find on line a couple of years back to buy more, but alas, it's gone. So I will use the rest sparingly.
This is a project I am just starting. My daughter will recognize it. It will be a bookshelf quilt. These are a few of the test strips. I found a partial jelly roll of an old Basic Grey line in my strip scrap been and it seems perfect for books, with a few others added in.
This quilt is basted and actually on my machine right now. It is for a recipient in the Comfort Quilts Bee that I am in. I am loving how it is turning out so far. I will show more when it is done.
I also made a baby quilt for a friend, but since she sometimes reads my blog, I am going to have to wait to post pictures until I give it to her.
So far, on staycation, that's two wristlets, one quilt quilted and one being quilter and one new project started. Pretty good progress so far. I have two other quilts being pieced and one more waiting to be quilted, which I hope to at least start on before I go back to work.
Have a Great Wednesday.

Hey Mom! Everything looks great! It's funny that you're making a bookshelf quilt, I just saw one of these on Pintrest. You should go check it out. I either pinned it to my "Harry Potter" board or my "Quits I Love" board, I can't remember which. Take a look if you get a chance though, because it's super awesome. :)
Yes, what a cute pattern... and I love that fabric, too! Very pretty.
A bookshelf quilt... hmmm, I have wanted to try one of those too. Looking forward to seeing yours.
Enjoy the rest of your stay-cation! I'd say it's going quite well!
Quite a productive Staycation! Good for you!
