    Missed Tea Tuesday again

    Gosh, it’s already Wednesday evening! Time seems to be getting away from me lately.
    I did want to show you why I missed tea yesterday.
    I was learning to knit the top onto a kitchen towel. Isn’t it sweet…the towel I mean. It’s a vintage towel from the box of linens I’ve been working through.  It  now hangs proudly in my kitchen.
    I also wanted to show you that I’ve started on the pages for the Postcard Challenge.
    This is the page for France.
    I made a pocket to hold the postcard from a label which I believe is from some sort of alcoholic beverage. Beer, ale, wine or spirit…not sure…
    I have a couple of extras laying beside that I plan to include once I put the page in it’s proper place in the book.
    I also have my postcard for Friday completed!!!
    Of course, I can’t show that now.
    But I must say,  I do love it!
    Hopefully, I’ll have enough time after my volunteer duty in the school library tomorrow to complete the page to hold said postcard before posting it on Friday morning.

    Free motion practice

    I got my sewing machine back and my free motion foot. 
    As promised, the gal at the sewing place showed me how to use it. She even gave me this practice piece of “quilt sandwich” to take home. 
    It is so fun! 
    Of course, I’m breaking the “rules” right away by stitching over my previous stitch line but I’ve never been much for sticking to the rules anyway.

    Patchwork Ornament

    This came from a small oddly shaped patchwork piece in my stash. It was going to be one of the tissue packs but got buried under other bits and pieces. 
    Now I’m glad it did! 
    Makes a cute puffy heart ornament.
