While the Bernina is away.....

While my Bernina has been in the shop I've been working on my granny squares. I hesitate to sew ongoing projects with a different machine so I haven't even brought Luella out to play.
Cindy gave me this adorable quilt hanger. It's perfect for displaying my latest pillowcase. As you know I have a great fondness for rose print fabric.
This is my very first piece of Cath Kidston fabric. I got it for a very reasonable price on Etsy....probably because it was already living on this side of the pond. 
I'm hoping to start this project very soon with Happy Mochi Yum Yum. This is one of my all time favorite fabric lines.

On Monday I'll be visiting Cindy at Live A Colorful Life to play The Name Game. I'll have a special giveaway to celebrate the occasion!
Have a wonderful weekend!

My quilt hanger is jealous of your quilt hanger. Because mine, while on the wall, still has nothing hanging from it. Your granny squares look SO cute!

I'm the same about swapping machines partway through a project - I hope your Bernina comes back soon! Love the granny squares!

The granny squares are really gorgeous! I love the colors in them.

Looking forward to reading about you on the Name Game.

I just love granny squares... especially when they are bordered in white!

I hope you get your machine back soon so you can get back to work!

I have the same quilt hanger, although mine is still not put up...Did you just use ONE green tack?
Don't you feel sad when Bernina goes away? Hope she's back soon!

That pillow case is beautiful!! We all get withdrawl symptoms when our sewing machines are away, don't we?

Great idea, to crochet while the machine is gone. I have a pair of slippers or two that need to get made :) I'd also like to learn to knit!

I love your grannies! I especially enjoyed seeing the picture with them featured on the mantel. I may have to borrow that idea for my mantel. Hmm, I do not decorate for July 4th, red white and blue grannies may do the trick!

I love yarn. Mostly crochet, but I do knit as well. I like smaller sewing projects, but, I am not a quilter. It was fun reading about you on Cindy's name game!
