sew create joy

Cute little 1.5″ Double T blocks.  “Sew Create Joy”

Friday I’ll share the inspiration for this. Have a nice week.

P.S. Step 2 for Just As I Am is available on the website now!

Friday Find #56

This is what I worked on during the retreat. As always there’s a few things I should have done differently but I do like the end product. It has a place for everything. A pocket on the outside (can you spot it?) on the bird side. Inside there’s a pocket for checkbooks, cash, cards, eyeglasses, pen, change and my camera even has a place. The dangly on this side has a thrifted metal piece, the label was given to me and the wool circles are decorated with findings. The vintage upholstery material is left over from the last altered purse.

This is the side with the outside pocket (below). The stars are from the Quilt series Just As I Am and the bird is a Sue Spargo bird.

Happy Friday.

Good morning Monday

Hello all, how are you? The first Galloping Pony Cyber Retreat (not the last) is now behind us. There were Quilto games, many 9 patches made (for an exchange), UFO’s worked on, spaces cleaned, new friends made, several people already knew each other. It was a good time. After it was all done there was one last drawing and the winner is….Sally Keller! She has a blog for you to check out http://sallysangelworks.typepad.com/  The prize includes a journal, 2 vintage star blocks, a new mini star block, cotton bole, vintage optometrist lens, ruler piece, pattern and linen burlap to make it with!

Also I would like to introduce a new Quilt Series. Step 1 is free just for you here! Inspired by an antique quilt. Other steps will be available soon.

Happy Monday.
