Sunflower Stitching


Having fun at the sewing machine.





I love making something
that is freestyle 
so I started by drawing a picture.




Then I started cutting and sewing.
It's so freeing when there are no rules
and you can just create as you go. 










After mounting this quilt

and placing it on the mantle

I decided to make some coasters

to scatter around the living room.



  
Again no rules 😁

A little bit Piggly, 
A little bit Wiggly
&
And a lot of fun.



 

Happy Sewing

&

Have A Wonderful Weekend

Dear Friends.

Spring Has Sprung!


 
I'm so busy this time
of the year.







Gardening, setting up 
irrigation lines 
and trying to get 
a little sewing done.



I have been looking for 

English cucumber seeds forever. 

😊 This year I found some 😊

I'm a happy girl!





Do you save seeds 
and 
trade with friends?  
It's a great way to save money.
 



Here are a few photos 
of some little cloth baskets 
I made this week. 
I saw the idea on Pinterest
and had to try it. 








I hope you're all 
having a wonderful week.

The weather is lovely here 
and I've been outside 
working and coming in 
exhausted and dirty 
each evening. 

I'm not complaining! 

I've been waiting 
for spring all winterπŸ₯°

God bless you all 
and 
keep smiling. 

You're blogging sister, 
Connie

More Partially Done Projects


It's okay to call me crazy, 

I have three projects 

that I'm working on 

and ready to start a 4th.


 

I just can't seem to figure out 

what I want to do 

with any of them

 to make a finished piece. 




Hopefully taking time to think 

about it will bring me 

to a conclusion.



 

I do hope you're all 

having a wonderful day 

and that you're not 

as scatterbrained as I am. 




Grace be with you all

Your blogging sister,

 Connie :)

Diamonds From Amazon


 

I purchased diamonds 

from Amazon 

for my Valentine's present 

to myself :)

No, there are not earrings  . . .

They are cabinet knobs LOL. 

 




 

 

 

Here are my dressers finished

A little paint

(that I already had)

and the new knobs. 

If you are interested in these pull

handles, go to Amazon and type in

this information ↓

  


 

 

Another thing that I did in the bedroom

was add these dollies to the windows.

 


 

 All that I did was iron them

with spray starch and then I took

a children's glue stick and glued them

to the window.  

The glue is washable, so removing

should be a snap. 

 

I forgot to add these two photos

to my last post.

I have a footstool in front of the

sofa, so I use this tray for a place to

set a "cup-a" when I have company. 

 


 

I thought that putting this quilt

on the sofa would be in keeping with 

my February theme. 

 

I hope that you enjoyed

the little tour and that it 

will inspire you . . .

Spring is almost here and we'll be 

sending so much time outside

that we won't have the time to tweek the house

like we do now . . . Have Fun!

God Bless You All

Quilt Group Christmas Gifts


Last Thursday was the 

December meeting of our

Quilting Group.

I had made these 

Mug Rugs & Pincushions 

as gifts . . .

but couldn't post before giving :) 

 


 

 Here are the pincushions . . .

I had so much fun making these.



 

The following photos are them

paired with their Mug Rug :) 

 






 

Hope you enjoyed . . .

Do you have a favorite?

Mug Rugs Galore

 



Hello Sweet Friends . . .

Today's post is mostly photos.

 


 

My followers know that 

I live on a pretty tight budget,

but I like to live well.

Therefore; for my Christmas gifts

this year I have started

by going through my scrap pile.

 



Who can't use a little "Mug Rug?"

 

 

Larger than a coaster,

Smaller than a place mat . . . 

just the right size for a 

cup and a treat :)



I've made a pile of them . . .

and I'm still sewing.

Have fun looking them over,

I hope you get inspired.

































I hope you enjoyed the 

little "Mug Rug" tour . . .


 

 

Wishing you & yours . . .

A warm & cozy Christmas :)
