Bow Ties in Green

I arrived home from a vacation last night, and all I could think about was getting back to my sewing machine! Of course, there are a million other things to do when you've been away for awhile - laundry, groceries, picking up the mail that's been held, etc., etc., but before I got started on all of that this morning, I decided to sew.

The 6 inch bow tie blocks I've been working on go together really fast, so I dug around in my green scrap bin, found some pieces that would work, and got busy!


Before I knew it, there were four more bow ties to add to my collection.


Now there's a happy bunch!

Great addiction to your happy bow tie collection! It is good to travel but it is better come back home.

Bow tie blocks are the ultimate quick sewing "fix". Yours are so cute! Before you know it, they'll be multiplying like bunnies!

Too funny...all you could think of was sewing after a nice vacation? I thought I was the only one! Looks like you did enjoy some productive sewing time because those are some nice bow ties to add to your colorful collection.

That's one of the BEST Bow Tie patterns around!! The only other one I like to make is the 3-D version. SEW glad that you gave yourself the gift of some sewing time BEFORE chores and errands! Such a wonderful start to any day.

I can relate to wanting to sew versus doing laundry etc. yes! :)

Laundry will keep, but those blocks are too cute to ignore for long. We quilters have to set our priorities. Sew first, work later.

Always good to get back to sewing. The bow ties are so fresh in their spring green.

Very fun bow ties. There is always so much after one has been on the road. But spending a bit of time in the sewing room ranks up there for me. It seems to settle me down and say, yes I'm really home.
