Ewe's Something to Crow About

This project is from the book Cotton & Ewe. The pattern actually has a rooster on top of the sheep but I decided to change it to a crow. I'm going to hand stitch the blanket stitch around  the edges. It's a great book will all kinds of fun projects, it's not just sheep projects but they all work with wool. I like the book so much I had it spiral bound.

Pinkeeper and more

This is one of the latest creations for my etsy shop.

The theme for this one is Under The Sea. Most of the pin keeprs I make I don't embellish too much so they are very functional, this went I went and little crazy with.  I don't think I would actually use this one, I would just think of it as a piece of artwork and look at it.
This second little number, is not in my shop yet, but will be shortly.

This mini sewing kit is very functional and I have an orange one that I use all the time.

Apron blocks

This is the most recent apron block for our little 30's group I'm in.
Below you you see the finished block from the last post.

This is what it looks like when it has all the words.

A week already?

Has it been a week since my last post?  It seems like only yesterday. I have been busy making a few things for my etsy shop.  I've sold some things and want to try to keep it fresh.  This is a pin keep I made to replace the one that sold.  The other things are still in the works so you will have to stay tuned for that.

I'm also keeping on task with my Love Is..... series.  If you aren't familiar with it;  hop on over to Paula's blog at Quilt Happy Quilt Often and check it out. She has some great stuff over there so if you haven't been to her blog you are missing out if you like hand embroidery.

Opps, I just realized there is a crucial word missing in the last block. It should read  - It is not rude or self- serving.  I better go add that right now or bad things will happen, like me putting the quilt together and then noticing it still is done.

April Showers ...........

This is the circle of the month for April.
