Day 15 of Family Sew 12 Challenge

February Day 3.

Today I stitched 4 basketball journal covers for Annalise's basketball team. These journal covers are an in the hoop embroidery machine project from http://www.fivestarfonts.com/

These journal covers are quickly becoming my "go-to" project when I need a gift for any reason. The cover holds a small notebook, and is perfect to slip into bookbags, a purse, or jeans pocket. I made them for Annalise's soccer team last fall (with soccer fabric, of course), and included one in the set I made for the school fall festival. Her class' theme was Road Trip, so I made the journal cover out of Route 66 fabric!

Day 11 of Family Sew 12 Challenge (January 28, 2012)

Today I started a new scarf to have a portable project when I am waiting on Annalise to finish basketball practice or dance class. It is pink and yellow, rather thick yarn. I actually started it Friday night, but didn't like the pattern I was using, so ripped it all out and started over. Still not entirely happy with how it is working, but it is better than it was.

Day 5 of Family Sew 12 Challenge

I started a new scarf this afternoon and worked on it during Annalise's basketball game. I got about 8 inches done, then had to put it up. The game was a nail biter during the last quarter, and I was afraid of dropping stitches!

Annalise's team won 5-4!
