    Circles into clovers and mountains.



    I’m sad…I only had on person even ventured a guess at what the heck I’m making.

    Ok…I’m over it. Comments and questions are always appreciated though!

    I’m in the painstaking process of making another quilt like this.

    The one I’m working on will be a little larger than the first… YIKES! That one was quite a challenge to sew at the end stages for me.

    Each circle is drawn around a kids plastic plate then hand cut with a scissors. Then the sewing lines have to be drawn on with a template. Please if anyone knows a speeder technique, let me know!!

    I’ll need to start cutting all the fabric squares to place in the Cathedral windows shortly. This is what I believe to be a variation of the Cathedral window quilt pattern. What I like about it is that it finishes both sides at the same time!!

    Sneak peek



    Here’s a peek at the start of my latest sewing project.

    The circles are all recycled clothing.

    Any guess what it will be?

    I just love this close-up of the stack of colors.

    Thrift Store score!

    I stopped by a local thrift store today looking for snow pants for my girl. No luck with those but I did make out like a bandit with some art supplies!

    I got all you see for $6.50.

    And before anyone asks…
    No, I am not expecting another baby. Nor am I planning another wedding but I just couldn’t pass up these clear stamps. The baby set has lots of words that can be used and it was only a buck! Besides…I have yet to complete the kids baby books. I promise they will be done by graduation. Or maybe their weddings or at least by the birth of their 1st child. Hopefully in that order…

    I do still occasionally make cards so all the words will come in very handy! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
