Back in the 90’s I made a table tent for my boys. They had such a fun time playing in this. I had such a fun time making it. It came from a “Sewing with Nancy” show. (https://craftsnstuff.ecrater.com/p/15745388/sewing-with-nancy-kids-star-attraction-700)
I am now resurrecting it for some children who will have just as much fun. There is a slight tear in it and a ribbon to tighten up.
Yay for a finish in 2024!
Fun in the sewing room!
My 365-day embroidery project. I am starting this with trepidation because my embroidery is quite rudimentary. I guess, I will practice this year. Each day, I will embroider an icon which represents my day; something in my day.
Well, back to stitching.
So many patterns so little time.
So, back in 1995-96, I cross stitched my biggest project.
I really enjoyed stitching this. Now, it needs to be updated. I was never satisfied with the backing, but now I have the idea is of bringing the present to the past. My niece went to Africa and she brought me back some beautiful African material.
I am going to use this on the back and I will add a few pictures. Bringing my past projects to 2024. Throwback Thursdays will be my day to bring my WIPS to the foreground.
Today and for the next few days, I will be finishing another pair of arm warmers.
A few more rows on this one and then on to the next one. Weekend snowstorm outlook = crocheting. I am also daily aiming at sewing two blocks for my Wild & Goosey, dark and pale.
And on that note, keep on stitching or being passionate in whatever suits your fancy!
Quilts Matter!
My “Wild & Goosey” Quilt is taking shape. I wanted to see how many rounds I have done and how many are left. When the blanks are filled in, there will be 1300 pieces in this part. I have about four more rounds to go! I am loving it!
I am back into postcards. I made the Grinch postcard this Christmas and I received two cards from friends.
One quilting project I would like to make is postcard holder. On my list. Yes, I have a list. I will post my list in a future post.
When life throws you scraps, make a quilt
…but I am always drawn to my blog. I am not sure who is around, however, I will journal away.
Hi all!
I am still quite busy with all my different crafts.
I have picked up a new hobby in the last few years. Crochet. These are a beautiful pair of handwarmers. They look knit, but they are not. They are called “Woodland Mitts” and it is a free pattern. I am on my second pair. (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/woodland-mitts-3)
Quilting: So much on the go, but I did start or rather continue my “Wild and Goosey” paper piecing project. It is from Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville. I am leaning towards doing the quilt that goes around and around.
And I will leave off with my cats. I had three, lost two and then lost my oldest, Salem, a few weeks ago. Blue, the siamese, came into my life at the best time.
And to finish off but know that I am working on so many projects, that part of me needing to come and blog is so that I can sort myself out.
I created this small piece during Christmas. it was so relaxing. I love miniatures and landscapes and JULIA GAHAGAN gives tutorials about her method. Such fun! (https://juliagahagan.wordpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR2JkaYmDXeXLbWMgDlkIb-yrT5UemC2sHMvtVXfkUvCEGvc7DCtW2XIMXY)
So, cheerio, and hopefully I am back within’ a year. I should be.
