Sunday Sewing



I had quite a few scraps left over from my last thread catcher/bird making session.  Since I didn't want to let any of that lovely Blueberry Crumb Cake fabric go to waste I started cutting it into 2-1/2" squares.  A few hours sewing, some pretty trim and voila!  Three mug rugs. 

I also had some squares left over from some mini charm packs Catherine gifted me and made this one too.  I must have been in a Blackbird Designs mood as these fabrics are from their Antique Fair line.

Next up on the agenda....more birds!

Wishing you all the best week ever with lots of sewing and stitching and whatever else your heart desires.  Remember to tell your loved ones "I Love You" not only this Tuesday but every day.  :o)

Cold and Icy

Image
Hello friends!  It has been cold and icy here this weekend.  Work closed early Friday and the ice was so bad yesterday we didn't even open.  I took advantage of the extra time and did the finishing on my With Thy Needle Friendship samplers. Victorian Motto cluny lace trim for this one. Chenille - again from Victorian Motto. I completed the stitching on this "Bluebird Serenade" and finished it up too.  I tried a new technique for me with the ric rac - I wove two different shades of pink together. See how different it looks?  Love it! And here they are, so happy together! I also spent some time with my sewing machine and made up these mug mats for Valentine's Day.  This is the January Label Crew project by Sweetwater. I had several scraps left over and since I am not one to waste such pretty bits... I used them to make these sweet fabric valentines.  :o)   A winner has been selected....

I Stitched!

Something about this series really appeals to me. I just love the look of chalkboards but they are so messy. This way I get the chalkboard but not the mess! I have an idea for my finish using this little chalkboard I found at Wal-Mart. I think with a bit of Briwax and some ribbon it will be cute. I just hope it turns out like the picture in my head. Stay tuned!
