Not forgotten

I'm still working on Max's quilt he should be here any day now. I finished block 2 of 6. I've already started on the green block. Trying to get the top pieced before he arrives. I realize it would have been more frustrating if I had pieced it on the machine, so I'm glad I hand pieced them. I can be sure that the corners match.

I finished my practice quilt. It was fun and I sure wish it was bigger. 60"x60" is just not enough. If only I had 36 more squares.

Some happiness few and far between

I had to feel productive on July 4th.I have a need for pin cushions. Using the plastic caps from water bottles. I hate plastic water bottles. I use a Tervis Tumbler for my water,no bottled water. But what a great idea to use the tops to any plastic containers and make it into a pin cushion. Cut a circle out of leftover scraps an then stuff it with stuffing. Hot glue it to the plastic cap of your choice.

Plumeria

Who would have thought that I would be growing Plumerias.

These are brought home many years ago from my father's funeral. Sent by Steve's Mom & Don.

Machine Embroidery Class

This morning was my class. We made a luggage tag. Very cute. For my daughter Christine. Her big brother couldn't say Christine, so he called her Kiki.

Yeah

Project Finished. My friend Uwessa who had a birthday in May is waiting for a homemade gift I promised and this will work. How cute it turned out with the beading and decorative stiches.

Another New Project

Just a little bag. Using some decorative stitches.

The Fever

In an effort to get my adult daughter to like sewing as much as I do, we went to Joanne Fabric's. Bought a simple dress pattern.

We bought 2 different fabrics.

We plan on making the dress on the right side, view A. More posts to come with the finished fashions.
