Handwork

                                     

Hand stitching is so satisfying.

I love adding contrasting color to patchwork!

and when the project is small...

well...

I goes so FAST!!!

It made me REALLY want to get going on a bigger quilt!

Just need to get a quilt sandwich made and get GOING!!

Just.

Haha!

These little mug rugs will be gifted soon

with a mug!

Yeah for simple practical little gifts!!

Homemade makes me happy!

Homemade is also nice in the kitchen.

This is an excellent pie that takes NO TIME at all.

Sour cream apple pie.

I bought a ready made crust

and filled it up.

Easy peasy.

a winner!!

We have a winner!!

One of the most encouraging quilters I know!

WackyWoman....aka.....Marilyn!

She already has a LOT of pincushions!

Now she'll have one from me!:)

Thank you to everyone who responded and

all of you who are kind enough to read my ramblings. :)

Over at my house we're getting ready for guests.

20 to be exact.

I really don't focus on the getting ready as much as I should.

I would rather be creating something.

So I call these pillows..."updating my living room for company".

Aren't they cute?

I bought that little piece of center fabric this last summer.

That's all there was.

Maybe it was a fat quarter.

I just cut it in half and added some strips of fabric

around the outside.

Now...I REALLY better get going!

I've got some things to do in the kitchen.

Not as much as I used to though....

Look at what my daughter did!!!

She made her first pies! I'm so happy and proud...

I've also been singing "sunrise, sunset" all morning!

When did she (and all my kids for that matter) grow up??

It was YESTERDAY that she was a little girl!

Happy Thanksgiving!

There's SO much to be thankful for ALL year long!

Hope you all have a great day with family and friends.
