ready!

I think I'm ready for the retreat!

I'm providing a little craft at the women's retreat this weekend.

I made a selection of some red mini pillows.
Some black.

Here's the pile.
About 35 mini pillows...
or sachets...
or pin cushions...
They are all ready to be stuffed and decorated!!
It was fun to make a bunch.
I just hope that everyone has one that they like.

I'm taking my machine and some scraps...
just in case!!!

Here are the little thread kits!
I cut some card stock and wrapped
pre-cut thread around those.

This way we won't need scissors as often.
I don't have enough scissors for 35 people
and I didn't want to buy a bunch!!






Aida cloth and more ribbon!
I also have buttons..
thread....
And patterns...those are important.
Here's a link to the samples.
I can't wait to show you what all the ladies
come up with!!


I'm leaving this in the cupboard
so that I won't worry about the family meals.
I may come home and find it still sitting there. ;)

Red Chairs.

My Calendar quilt is done!

I have a chair for every season.

I thought about calling this quilt...restful seasons :)

The Quilt Cupboard needed a redwork Calendar quilt...

and I asked, "Can I do it?"

The owner Sheri said, "Yes."

Then I got awfully nervous.

What if....

What if.....

I offered to design this quilt in the middle of December.

Now (after lots of handwork) I'm done and

I'm smiling from ear to ear. :)

I hope her club has as much fun as I did making this one!
