Good Morning, April 1st!

Where has the year gone? It seems like it's zipping away. I've been keeping busy with sewing and grandkids, not necessarily in that order, lol. My main project for the year is reorganizing my sewing room. I have made headway, but still not finished. I do pretty good, then I just HAVE to stop to sew. The last few days I've been trading with other quilters. I've cut out squares and strips; also am making a tote to trade for a paper piece book. My friend wanted brights, so I sent her these photos. Thank goodness, she liked them. I love brights, but don't have a lot in my stash. While I'm working on this tote (it will be a large market-type tote for her to take to her LQS for her purchases), I'm also working on a raggy tote in the same colors. I'll post a photo when it's completed.
Have a peaceful Sunday!

Paper Piece Blocks

Our weather has been so pretty. But today we had rain; hope it clears up soon. I've been staying inside sewing. I joined a paper pieced row robin; here are my 1st blocks for my own row. Aren't they pretty?

Pincushions

The weather here in southeast Texas is so pretty; it's almost like summer. I was asked to make a smaller pincushion, so I made a few. Here are two of them; they are stuffed with steel wool. These will be listed in etsy or you can contact me.

It's March!


Seems like the year is flying by; it's already the 13th day of March. I'm still sewing up a storm. Here is the latest boy I Spy raggy quilt I made. I can make whatever size you want; just ask.

Today is Tuesday!

Good Morning! Hopefully, we'll have a few dry days. Wish we could have shared some of our rain from the last few days, lol. The rain didn't bother me, though; I just stayed in and sewed. Here's my latest project -- pincushions. I just love making them. The ones pictured here are 6.5" to 7"; they are now listed in etsy. Have a great Tuesday!

Peaceful Sunday....

It's been raining for a couple of days; it finally stopped today. Now, it's almost winter again. Good time to snuggle up in a warm quilt. My friend received her blue/yellow raggy quilt, which is about 46" by 58". I also made a girl I Spy quilt, which is about 36" square. You will notice that no two prints are identical; that is why all my quilts are one of a kind. If you're interested, I can custom make you a raggy quilt.

Good Morning, Wednesday, February 1st!

Good Morning! It's February 1st and it's muggy and drizzling, but I'm still glad to be alive. How about you?
I've been busy sewing and babysitting. What a great combination! I've been working on a special order; she wanted a blue & yellow raggy lap quilt. I'll post it as soon as it arrives in North Carolina.
Today I'm going to start on an I Spy raggy quilt. I only have one little blankie left to sell -- after all the ones I've made in the past. Maybe I'll make more than one, lol. Here is a photo of one of my I Spy quilts.
Have a great day!
