Finally getting my wall hanging quilted. Even with lots of pins it's still shifting as I sew. Going to take a while and lots of patience.



Also, some pink cow material that I thought I liked in the vintage store, but maybe not so much now! Ha! Anyone want it? It's free! I even washed it because it had a stain, and I think it all came out. It's a nice bright pink, not faded like the pic came out.







Here's my fabric for the kaleidescope quilt-a-long I'm just beginning with a group on flickr. Go to http://sugarstitches.com/blog/. Maybe you want to join? It looks like fun! And my fabrics are Denyse Schmidt, Hope Valley. Love them!









And last but not least for today, some of my stash: (just because I know I like looking at fabric, any fabric, anyone's fabric, anywhere, even the fabric that people are wearing!
Maybe you do, too!

Here's blocks 2 and 3 for the mod bento box swap I'm participating in. Here's the link if you want to join. It's not too late!
My darling daughter helped me choose the fabric, then put them in the order for best layout - well, I accidentally mixed them up so Block 2 is not the greatest, but I like Block 1 very much! Thanks, Ta, for your help, even though I boggled it!

Here's one finished block for my Mod Bento Box swap, after a few trials and errors!
Had a fun morning fab shopping at Quilter's Stash with my sis and daughter who's carrying my grandbaby! Maybe I'll post my additions to my stash later...

A doll/mini quilt - thanks, Sew Mama Sew, for that wonderful tutorial! I'm having a blast, and almost done. Will hand sew the binding on today. Now to get my sis to show me how to create a label- hint, hint. (And we'll see if she's REALLY "following" me.) The sea horse is embroidered free-hand (maybe I should have added some sea grass) and the dragonfly is hand-appliqued. I did some machine quilting around the border. I think I will hand-quilt it, today, too.
I'm surprising myself at my ripened age - maybe I've finally found some creativity and a wee bit of God-given talent - thank you, Lord!



Here's where I sew, quilt, embroider, etc. Some pics and a wood carving carved by a friend waiting to be hung on the wall.

Someone left the seeds out in the rain - uh-0h!

They're growing!




My marigold seeds sprouted very nicely! Some small sunflowers, too.
