Mini blocks

Our 30's group is working on a very adorable wall hanging using apron blocks. Our fearless leader Susan is demoing these and one of her guidelines is that we aren't allowed to just collect the patterns, so next time we meet we must have the blocks close to being done or we won't get the next set.

She is giving us the pattern in sets of three aprons but I only have two done as the third one is not cooperating with me.  They are only 5 1/2 inch blocks so they really don't take long to make.  I still need to add the embellishments but I will wait until I get more done and then let them speak to me.

Pin Keepers

My Etsy shop has been a little neglected so I thought I would make a couple of new things to add.  These are so much fun to make and I really like using them also, since they hold about 75 pins and the pins don't fall out in the bottom of your bag, if you are like me and always toting things around.

The one on the left is done with machine stitched decorative stitches and the one on the right is done with hand crazy quilt stitches.

January Circle of the Month

I'm not really working in any particular order with these bad boys. I just finished this one for January and the reason is ........ because I miss placed the scarf and mittens and refused to cut out more since I knew they would turn up somewhere as soon as I replaced them. They turned out to be exactly where I thought they would be, buried in one of my tote bags.  Now I am ready to start on the March one.

This is the last time..... really it is

I know I said you wouldn't be seeing any more pictures of the red work wall hanging but I forgot to add a crucial element.  We went to Fargo this week end and I woke up at 5:30 in my hotel room and remembered I had totally forgot to add the cute little snow flake buttons.

 

I'm just glad I remembered to add them before they got lost forever in my sewing room. Yes, that could easily happen.

Just thought I would add this one just for fun.

Welcome February

I finally got around to taking a picture of this months circle of the month welcome wall hanging. It was supposed to have our own name and address, but that just seemed weird to me so I changed it up a little.
