But it has been fun. The latest event was A Princes Tea, it was so much fun. My job was to dress these wonderful girls, up like Princessess so they could sit at the tables during the Tea and interact with the little girls. They also helped them during craft time. Such a fun event.<br />

A lot has happened in that time. I spent a large part of the summer teaching sewing to young girls. It was a fun and rewarding time. But just as that was ending and I had hoped to have some fun family time, my husband was laid-off. As you can imagine this was devastating.There have been other things that too were very upsetting, just not a good August, and September has not been much better.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, I have started a Facebook "Like" page. It is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pam-is-Always-Sewing/257987497545582">"Pam is Always Sewing"</a> . Why you ask? Well it has made it easier for me to share pictures and information about the little zippered bags I have been making. It is a great for my friends to share my info. It seems to be working well, as I have gotten lots of orders and that makes for grocery money. :-) Here are some pics of the little guys. They are made in the hoop, on my embroidery machine. The patterns come from Embroidery Garden.<br />

This spring while working on the costumes for Cinderella I found a place to put some. ^_^ On the hat of the Narrator (she later becomes the Fairy God Mother). Here is a picture of her hat.<br />

<br />
I really wanted to sew a fun yet quick project. I really do not need to start another new project. So I have had this fabric set aside to make a pillowcase for my daughter. I really love how it came out. Quick easy and fun!<br />
<br />
At least I got something accomplished today!<br />

Well I am at the end now. Well....I still have to quilt this HUGE quilt. But it is so wonderful! I can not tell you how happy it makes me. The colors are so wonderfully bright and cheery. There are 88 blocks, on the front and back of this quilt. Each is a different 1930's reproduction print. No two are alike. My dear Aunt Sally has been collecting these prints for a long time, and generously let me cut my quilt from her stash. I would never have been able to make this quilt without her help. Here are a few pictures before the quilting. You can see that Teaga was there to check out this quilt as she does with all the others. ^_^<br />

<br />
We were very blessed to have no damange. We had 100 hours of no power. My son counted, this is how I know. ^_^ We spent the time remembering how to play board games. LOL We really did have alot of good old fashioned family time. We did some puzzles, we even had a camp fire in the backyard. roasted marshmallows and made Smores. Yummy!<br />
<br />
So many people lost everything. It is devastating.

I am having so much fun with the costumes we are making. Fantasy Playhouse had a wonderful little tea party for little girls. It was so much fun. The older girls got to be the Princesses and host the little girls. I can't tell you how tired we were, but oh we had so much fun. I wish I could post more pics but I do not have permission from all the children so here are a few of my princess and some of her friends.<br />
<br />
No this is not Cinderella's Ball Gown this is her Tea Party dress. We will wait till after the ball to show that dress. ^_^ <br />

I cannot tell you how excited we are. She has waited a long time for a lead role. She has had many fun ensemble parts but this is her first lead! The rest of the family is evolved as always, my husband will be the King and my youngest daughter will be helping me with the costumes.<br />
<br />
Right now I am working on my oldest son's wedding and then it will be on to work on Cinderella, so not sure how much blogging will happen but I will share pictures of both events. ^_^Always Sewinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00598268207365284702noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011636617688981572.post-77949887901654490402011-01-14T11:16:00.001-06:002011-01-14T11:17:28.930-06:00When Snowed in Sew!Well this snow storm has really shutdown our southern city we just do not have the resources to deal with the snow and ice. So with no school and many businesses closed, we were rather home bound. So when stuck at home why not sew! ^_^<br />
<br />
I have been a rather creative slump. Yes, I made all those cute zipper bags but that was a follow this pattern type thing. I have had a block when coming up with something of my own.I have been wanting something new and modern for a purse. I love quilted bags but I wanted something different. ( I have made so many of those quilted bags) Finally I am happy with this one! Being snowed in I could not go shopping for this one. I had to use what was in my stash. So I dug out the leftovers from the Mod Quilt Sampler I made some time ago. Anyway this is the result. One purse, a wallet and a Snap Happy Bag.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Fk8G3X6oTw/TTCCbRrO9_I/AAAAAAAAAaE/AOC1GL6BZKo/s1600/DSCN1912.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Fk8G3X6oTw/TTCCbRrO9_I/AAAAAAAAAaE/AOC1GL6BZKo/s400/DSCN1912.JPG" width="300" /></a></div> This shows the set- wallet closed.<br />

This is a wallet pattern that I have come up with myself by combining several other quilted wallets with the options and techniques that I like. I do not sell the pattern, sorry.<br />

We had 9-10 inches at our house, north of Huntsville. Yes the city is shut down, we do not have the equipment to handle this kind of snow event. Also we have a lot of elevated road ways that freeze very quickly. I think our annual snow fall is 1.5 inches. So we were thrilled with this snow. For many children in Alabama and some adults this is the first snow they have seen. There have been lots of fun reports of people using all kinds of inventive things for sleds. Canoes, lots of pool items, boxes, cookie sheets, plastic bins etc. We just played.<br />

The <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/2010/10/29/bloggers-quilt-festival-fall-2010/">Blogger's Quilt Festival</a> is an online quilt festival where bloggers from around the world showcase a quilt - once you have had a look here, head on over and take some time viewing the other wonderful quilts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This time I would like to share a quilt that I made for my soon to be daughter-in-law. She loves blue ,so I decided I wanted it to be ocean like. So I chose the fabrics with that in mind. I also wanted it to have a modern quilt feel. I decied to just kind of wing it. Yes, it was scary but I just sketched out what I wanted and then had to go with what I got out of the 2 jelly rolls that I used. I was happy with the results ,but more than that she really loves it too. ^_^</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> I gave it to Heather on her birthday, but that was also the day that my son asked her to marry him. :-), yes it was a big day! I talked about making the quilt <a href="http://alwayssewing.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-quilt.html">here</a> and then when she received it <a href="http://alwayssewing.blogspot.com/2010/07/big-day-on-4th.html">here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Not only was it a fun show but it was absolutely beautiful to look at. The set and costumes were just amazing. My oldest daughter and husband who are usually on stage in a show, were join by our youngest daughter on stage. She loves to work backstage and was talked into joining them on stage. Not sure she will be on stage again soon, so I worked hard to get a couple of special pictures of her.<br />

Now after lots of medacations I am finally starting to feel better. :-)<br />

Also I would like to explain why your comments are being moderated. I was getting spammed by Japanese sites that we not appropriate. I could not stop it, so this way they do not appear. Unfortunately I have missed some of your messages for a week or more as I was not on my blog much while I was so ill. <br />

It was quick and fun to make. I used a free pattern and fabrics that I had, so the only thing I bought was the batting. :)<br />

I can't tell you how much I love this fun little quilt. I have made so many large quilts lately, I forgot how nice and easy a wall quilt <i>can</i> be. As I hung this I thought about my <a href="http://alwayssewing.blogspot.com/2009/12/finally-time-to-hang-nativity.html">Nativity Quil</a>t that took years to make.Always Sewinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00598268207365284702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011636617688981572.post-38744167455160741012010-09-28T14:58:00.000-05:002010-09-28T14:58:36.183-05:00Back with a new bagThank you for being a follower, sorry I have been gone so much lately. I have been sick. So sick I could hardly sew!!!! I am still struggling, but maybe it will pass soon.<br />
<br />
I did finally finish this bag and made a matching wallet. The bag took about 12 hours including the embroidery. The wallet is another 3-4 hours. I was only able to do a hour or so at a time because I felt so bad, so it has taken a while to get it done. I cannot wait to load up this beauty and use it.<br />
