Monday Making

I've been taking little bits of vintage handwork

and having some FUN!

What are you up to this week????

Too Many?

This pile began innocently enough.

It began with 2 crocheted afghans

made by my Grandma.

That bright PINK one is probably 40 years old.

They NEVER wear out...

and I USE them!!!

I've added a couple found at thrift stores.

I even MADE one!!!

Yes....

I've become a COLLECTOR.

;0

I think I'm at my LIMIT.

Sure HOPE I can say NO to the

future crocheted afghans I'll see

hanging in the thrift shop!!!

I know I'll see more......

collaboration

Our Collaborative quilt top

is GROWING!

It also changes every day

as I lay the blocks out.

It's SO fun playing with blocks!

;)

Thanks to everyone participating

in this JOINT effort

for The Wounded Warrior project!

It's going to be a WONDERFUL quilt!

(or quilts??)

One more day of mail collection...

and I'll start sewing some SEAMS!

*******

Here's the link to the original request for blocks.

Let's make a QUILT.

Monday Making

It's MONDAY!

And it's SUMMERtime!

There isn't quite as much time to MAKE...

but I'm going to squeeze in as much as possible.

;)

I have a few squares cut

and I'm going to make a SIMPLE quilt of squares.

I can't wait to get all this color together!

What are you up to??

Friday Finish

Another little zipper bag.

I just can't seem to STOP making them.

Part of it is wanting to enjoy

and USE the little pieces of vintage linens

that come my way.

I don't like them stored away!

I want to SEE and enjoy them.

;)

and...

Little bags are so practical!

Bag.

Pouch.

Purse.

????

I had a commentor mention

these little things are called purses where she lives.

What are they called at YOUR house?

Wednesday

I've been doing some SLOW stitching.

This little applique project gets pulled out once in a while

and I add a few more leaves.

THIS time....

I'm going to try and stick WITH it

and get ALL the blocks done.

That's the goal....We'll see what happens.

I've also been getting some stars in the mail.

THANK YOU for your help

Sharon and Selina!

I'll wait for a few more patriotic blocks before piecing them together.

They are going to feel RIGHT at home in this quilt

being donated to the wounded warriors project.

I participated in a FUN trade a couple of weeks ago.

I sent a little zipper bag....

and received this cute little pouch in return!!!

Thank you Brenda!!

Happy sewing friends!!!

Monday Making

I'm not sure what I'll be making this week...

NOT at this point.

I've been busy cleaning out a relatives home......

Running into OLD, old projects of mine.

Quilts and things made WAY before I knew what I was doing!

I SURE had fun making them though!!!

I know I'll also be sitting outside some this week watching.

Watching My husband MAKE something!!!

Garden beds for LOTS more vegetables!!

Right now his vegetable garden keeps me BUSY in the kitchen

as I'm always adding it to our dinners!

There are MANY ways to add zucchini and celery into the main course!

;)

These larger beds will either increase my creative work with zucchini...

or possibly give me more variety in the vegetable selection!!!

LOL!

What will you be Making this week???

Link up and share.
