Crazy About Wool

Today is the second day of this blog hop...and my turn!!!  thanks go out to Denise for organizing this one...and to our sponsors.  Now; I am going to show you my contribution to this hop. It is a small one because I have so much going on right now. Hope you enjoy the hop...and please visit all of the participants today.

This little pin cushion is made from wool felt...the center is stuffed with poly batt. I glued, then stitched the ribbon and little flower in place.  It was super fast and easy....now; here is your list of folks to visit today.

WIP Wednesday

Ok; summer is gone...but there is still lots of yard work to do!!  The garden needs to be finished up and the grass is still growing, but it is cool at nights!

On to my WIPs.....I have way too much quilting to do; but I love it.

                             I finished the Log Cabin quilt Monday evening.....

 Not the best color in the first picture....here is another....

                              That leaves 2 quilt tops waiting in my sewing room now to be hand quilted before Christmas.  Now; with that said, I picked up some cross stitched blocks today from a customer...I will  piece the quilt top for her...add sashings and a scalloped border; then quilt it.  

                                I have 2 more arriving sometime in the next month to be hand quilted...don't know what they are yet.

                                I have the next Log Cabin in the frames...put it in tonight after mowing 1/2 the lawns...Hopefully will finish mowing tomorrow night. Can't mow in the daytime this week; hubby is working nights; so sleeping/or trying to during the day. 

                                I am ready for the 'wool' and 'batiks' blog hops which are coming up right away!!

                                And I still have 5 quilt tops of my own to quilt one day. lol.

"Pin It"

Oh I am so very excited to be here today!!!!!!  I have been waiting for this hop to get started, and today is my day!!!! I have to say I had more fun with this one than I ever expected I would; it was a blast!!

I want to throw a huge thank you out there to our fantastic, hard working Madame Samm.and to Kristen for leading us in this hop; and our wonderful sponsors.

My first pin cushion is a very simple one; it is a little batt wrapped with fabric and set in this little pitcher.....so very simple.

The second one is a strawberry ice-cream...lol.  very easy again!

Now; the next one I found on line....it just simply made me grin from ear to ear when I saw it...lol

This is called over-ly easy...and it is just that!!  I used a piece of white felt with the yellow felt appliqued on top; stuffed a bit....isn't that the cutest smile ever????

And last, but not least..........I couldn't resist this one.

My biggest problem with this one was getting that bun to stay down in the middle....lol
Anyone for breakfast?  

And this is one that I made with my sewing buddies last winter...

I hope you had fun with my pin cushions...now make sure to visit the rest of the participants today.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....the feeling is Satisfaction

Well; I finished the strip scrappy quilt yesterday!!!!! That is one of my goals for this month off the list.  The wonderful lady who pieced it picked it up last night...and brought 2 more...l;ol. I was expecting these though.

Here she is holding her quilt.....it is too big to hold up by herself..

Maybe a couple more of this quilt...it is so fresh.

 A bit of the back.....

Her Log Cabin is now in the frames waiting for me to finish mowing the lawns....

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

September Goals

The months are flying by, and I think I am doing really well with my goals so far. For this month; I would like to finish the quilt in the frames now, and one of the Log Cabins that are waiting to be hand quilted. I have a couple of blog hops to do projects for; so, of course they have to be worked up too.  This is the one in the frames now.

I am linking up to Fiber of All Sorts; come join us. It's fun!!!!
