Tea with Mrs. D.

This is just 1 of the many, many, beautiful quilts that were on display at the Road to California Quilt Show.

 Unbelievable quilting done! I think this was probably my favorite...

pin cushion...

 

Who would have ever thought that using this silly little needle that looks like some type of weapon when you take it out ...

 Would make such a beautiful little needle art work on my machine...

 That I turned into a pin cushion...

little peek...

Here is a little peek for the girls in my "Cabin Fever" friendship group. It looks really big, but I only took a close up of  his face and that's all that I am going to show you!

We all made 8 of these little cuties, we got to pick our own snowman pattern,  for each one in our group. When we get together at the end of the month, we all exchange the blocks we made and then we end up with basically a whole snowman quilt that just has to be put together.

handy dandy little bag...

 Isn't this the cutest little bag ever!! It's a snap bag made from 2 fat quarters and 2 pieces of measuring tape that was cut up! It measures 8x8 when all finished and is even lined on the inside. With the measuring tape in the top lining, it makes the bag, snap closed, really kinda cute.

 Has little prairie points that are the handles. Without operator error, this can be made like in 10 mins.

This cute little wall hanging I made from homespuns. Started 2 different ones before Halloween, and am just now finishing up the 2nd one. I sprayed it with the coffee/tea stain, but I think it needs another dose tomm. Not quite dark enough

fitted sheet folding 101...

Found this on another blog.. Are you a folder or a roll in a ball sheet person? Looks easy enough.. I'm gonna give it a try!

spools

Last year our Friendship group, every time we got together,  swapped spools with each other. They could be any size, color, shape. So here is what I did with mine. I still have 4-5 more that I just couldn't fit in that are going on the backing. I used material from my stash, (which is not big at all!) but I just can't find the right one to go around for the border. My basket of quilts to long arm is over flowing again, so maybe I have some extra fabric from one of the quilts in there! I have been a busy bee lately. Now back to work on Monday! YUCK!!!

cutie patootie!!!

 Look at these adorable outfits that my girlfriend made!!!

 She took old pairs of jeans and made the cutest little skirts!!

 Then she went and embellished the shirts shirts so it's a matching pair!! I tell you , they are the cutest things ever! taking pictures on the tile floor doesn't show them justice. She started making them to sell at a little farmers market type thing and people are LOVING them!! Only $24.00 for the set.

I forgot to write the sizes down so if anyone is interested,email me and I will ask.

lookie...

Diane, from one of my friendship groups, made us all these really cute little bags! We all got different ones that fit our own style. It is even finished on the inside. Just like you would buy in the store. I love it!!

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year... Hope your new year is everything you could wish for. I know mine will be! I started my year out with a muscle spasm in my back and can barely catch my breath every time I move. Good thing I have the week off !
