Found me a dish

this is cute and will do for the plate. looks good to me. I will still look for other items . I like pin cushions for sure. who knew

A tad of sewing

I am doing the Sew Along with Lori Holt and the  day before the sew along she gave directions for us to make a pin cushion using a block from her new book Farm Girl Vintage. I have been pretty sick all week and really wanted to sew but had to do this in a few minutes at a time. Been to nauseated to move around very long. I like it and it is finished. Maybe tomorrow i can sit long enough to make the first two blocks. I also bought her fat quarter bundle to make the blocks in the book. She has used a polka dot for background different colors but I think I will use Kona Snow or  Bella White. I spent 3/4 of the month of April in Washington visiting my son  and seeing my grand daughters. they are so fun. They are thinking of moving back to the Ohio area but he would rather go to AZ it is much warmer year around there. He told the Honey they could come here for a year at least a winter and then she may change her mind due to how long and cold most of the winters are.
 I took some photos and videos of the girls jumping and playing and singing.. Gosh they have grown so fast. below is a photo of my pincushion. sure came out nice.
I will upload the pics and videos from phone and then post them in a day or so  so come on back and take a look them. thanks everyone.

well It arrived

I have a photo of a doll quilt I made for the swap partner for January. I actually swapped with my baby sister Wilma in NC. we were excited to be partners. so I have a picture of them both and will post here for you all to see. I will post hers to me first since I received from her before she got mine. it is so cute I am going to put a picture of me behind that little door.

this is the one I made and sent to her I like both of them,  little quilts are a bomb. love them

Another Sweet Finish

Just finished the binding on this tonight .I love it. I have another small one to finish up it is the red cherries. . They are so cute and just the right size for me for  now. I hope to make a couple bag totes for the kiddos and the coloring crayons and books. maybe get them done in time for V day.
 in the meantime here is my pears. Until tomorrow or  Monday happy threads to you

Been busy sewing

Been a busy month  and new year so far. I have been trying to finish up on a few  things today was a good day. I got my grand daughters tote /quilt finished up and the book to go to them both. Plus I have the binding sewn on a pear quilt I made the top for last fall, so it will be finished this weekend.
I have been trying to learn to knit, imagine that at my age! (71) not a lot of luck hard to grasp the needle position. but maybe soon it will all click  like learning to use my thimble.
     Baby sister made a cute hat and thought I would try one. haha Might get one made before the year is over.  I am hoping to be smart enough to make it.get the knitting down I will for sure post a picture of whatever I make .
 now for the things I managed to complete today besides some house work and laundry.


Now below is the quilts opened up the one that is pink  is for Sarah Patricia and the blue one is for my Arsema
