My assistant slumbers in the tray I've been using to keep all of the body parts in. She looked at the tray, then me and I took all of the parts out just for her comfort. One eye kept track of the entire sewing of the gnome and she even stayed for the glam shot. She's a hard cat to get a good picture of. She's the best craft assistant though.

Another gnome in the works
The machine quilting expo was a fun event and different from your normal quilt show. There were the quilts and the vendors and the attendees but there were tons of long arm quilting machines and the tools that go with them. It was a show about the equipment needed to quilt all of those tops we love to sew but don't have the time to hand quilt. Lots of fun tools, rulers, patterns, kits and thread abounded and I supported the quilt shops by purchasing a few fun items. Just the quilt show alone was worth the trip. I don't think I'd go again next year but it's fun trying out a new show and seeing all of the gadgets and goodies that are out there.

Meet the Royals
I did some changes in the patterns for the crowns and didn't sew on the royal capes as called for in the pattern. They all have chenille stems in their arms so they can be posed or hold items.

Crafting for Jesus
Thursday I had a consultation with the christian ed director at my church. She needed prayer flags and thought I would have a rotary cutter and mat to accomplish this task. I volunteered my time and after cleaning the house after church on Sunday I went at it. This morning I finished the total of 75 prayer flags. They have rolled hems on three sides and a casing at the top for the rope hanger to go through. Lots of work but the kids on good friday will have a lot of fun decorating them. I wanted them nice because they intend to leave them up in the church vestry for a while.
This is for my mom. I made one for her a few years back but when she went on a missionary trip to chile she brought it as an example and then ended up giving it away as a present. She always liked it so I bought enough fabric last week to do it again. I finished it this morning and it came out quite lovely. A nice addition to her table cover collection. She'll get it for mother's day.
