more Sew-tastic Saturday results.

Yesterday I shared with you all a few things my mom worked on this past Saturday when we were able to spend the entire day sewing together.  Now onto what I worked on...
 
As I have mentioned before, Elizabeth from Don't Call Me Betsy chose a spiderweb block for her month in our {Sew} Beautiful Bee.  Now the directions she chose were a little different than the ones I used for my Spiderweb Quilt (which by the way is currently getting some binding attention, yay!) in that they involved paper piecing.  My initial thoughts were, Eek!  Paper piecing?!?  You see, I haven't attempted paper piecing since I was in 4-H many, many years ago. I was a little intimidated at first but now that it is all said and done, I don't know what I was worried about!  It ended up being a lot of fun!  That was after I remembered to shorten my stitch length.  Lesson learned!

I really love the way this blocked turned out.  I am sure it is because all of that yummy AMH fabric she chose.

I am really excited to see Elizabeth's quilt all put together.  She has decided to sash each of the blocks, rather than the traditional spiderweb quilt layout.  Way cool!
 
And that's it folks.  I was not nearly as productive as my mom was!  Somehow my laptop kept creeping into my sewing area and I then I would find myself blog/flickr browsing.  Funny how that seems to happen! :)

Oh, and before I forget.  My little sister is in the process of making her prom dress for her Senior year.  Here is a little peek.

It involves lots, and lots of hand beading.  Anyone want to see more?
