Inspiration

I give a lot of quilts away....

And sometimes...

I get to do it IN PERSON!

 

I even enjoyed an EXTRA bonus at this baby shower.

A QUILT SHOW!

The organizer of this party has some antique quilts.

She hung them around the room for us to admire.

 

Gorgeous? YES!

Sure glad I had my camera handy!

 

Wanted to remember the edge of this one.

Aren't they lovely?

This sweet little quilt was hanging on

the guest of honor's chair.

Oops!

Forget to turn this picture around.

I loved the unexpected quilt show!

 

I'm inspired to make another quilt!

 

 

 

Good morning!

I woke up today and began working on my

LITTLE house quilt.

 

I. am. loving. it.

I made some little trees last night to use.

Went to my SPARE PARTS dept.

ie....Orphan drawer...

and found these little tiny stars

I had been making 2(?) years ago.

 

It's going to a VERY fun quilt!

Can't wait.

 

My day is BUSY...

so.... I DO have to WAIT.

(Should be OFF computer

getting ready right now!!)

You know me!

Have to gab about current project

the MINUTE

something FUN gets started,

the MINUTE it

gets moving...

or

the MINUTE

it gets DONE!!!

I WILL be carrying my NEW BAG though!

Kind of quirky??

 

Yah.

That's me.

;)

Sewing Room in MINIATURE!

While settling into our new trailer...

I decided the FIRST order of business was to stake my claim!

I needed to Find a small area that I could call my "sewing room"!!!

 

This small table and chair fit perfectly.....

but I needed an ironing board!

Hmm......This looks like an opportunity!

All it needed was an ironing board COVER!!!

 

I made a sort of fabric pillow case.....

and filled it with some batting that has heat resist foil in it.

 

I added a casing and elastic!

Now it's PORTABLE!

;)

After getting my sewing space fitted up....

I finished this quilt top for an upcoming wedding gift.

I'm hoping to embroider the new couple's last name

and the wedding date in one of the white areas.

We'll see......

Then....

I made a couple of potholders for gifts.

I had packed so many scraps....

that I had enough to make some more for ME!!!

 

Last, but not least, I worked on a little girls dress.

Whew!!!!

Clothing construction is so FIDDLY!!!

Zippers.....ugh!!!

lining.....ugh!!!

 

Ah well.....

When things got rough.....

I just walked out the front door....

Took a DEEP breath....

and FELT the peace of nature

ALL around me!!!

 

Camping and Sewing

WERE definitely

MADE for EACH OTHER!!!
