Countdown for next Show and New Styles

Back to the sewing room to make Little Girls Dresses for the next show. I wanted to venture out from the dress that always sales to something a little different. It has been fun mixing and matching patterns and coming up with new items, even using a quilting ruler to add more detail. Love the vintage look for adults and think it really is cute on little girls for photo's.

I am getting to sew a couple of quilt blocks in between so hope to have a quilt finished to show soon.

Dresses, Baby Burp Cloths, Bags, Pillows and Towels

x

I've been sewing, but it hasn't been any quilting items so I haven't posted much. I can show burp cloths, towels, dresses, pillows and bags, but not sure everyone wants to see that sort of sewing. I added ruffles to the back of some of the dresses.

On the other hand I lost my camera memory stick that the computer will only read. So off today to buy another one, couldn't post anything without some kind of pictures. Sat down and there it was (my other one). Isn't that how it is when you can't find something.

I should take pictures of my sewing room and let ya have a big laugh. Been cracking the whip, so you can imagine the mess...

A Tree Fully Dressed and A Very Thoughtful PIF

Can you see, I have my tree dressed for the Spring weather. Love to take pictures outside and these are some of the dresses ready to go for the next show and etsy. Tooth Fairy pillows are in line next. Wonder how I can take a picture of them in the tree. I'll show you how I make some of the pillows soon.

Now look at what Linda @ http://all-stitched-up.blogspot.com/ sent me for a PIF gift. I forgot all about the PIF and it was such a great surprise to find in the mail yesterday. Thank you so much Linda and so glad you are back sewing away. She will be having surgery on her shoulder so we need to keep her in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

Look at the quilting designs, same as the flowers appliqued around. Feels like spring is in the air.

I can't believe I haven't talk to ya since LAST YEAR!!!

If you are on a diet, don't look at the above pictures, well I should of wrote this above the pictures. I've been in the kitchen this morning, cooking some of my husbands favorites. Nothing like a good gumbo, rising rolls and potato salad.

x

I can't believe I haven't talked to ya since last year so this might be a little long. I was watching Julie & Julia, one of my favorite shows and I want tell you how many times I've watched it. Maybe it's a favorite because I see myself in Julie as of never finishing things she has started. Oh, I finish some projects but it takes a lot to accomplish this. Wanting to move on the the next project or my mind always racing "What can I do next"... What am I getting at? I need to take pictures of whatever is on the cutting table or the sewing machine, finished or not, just to post something. Is there anyone else out there like this? List don't help, I just grab a piece of paper and make a new one. Wasting time is not an option, work has to get done...So below are some pictures and they are actually finished, but more are cut out to update my shop.

Baby quilts, crochet items, suitcases revamped, recycled trash to treasures and a few recipes thrown in for comfort, this is what I can post often, we'll see what happens. I miss blogging, so it might not be completed but trying to write some kind of news and visiting others often. Giveaway coming soon!

A Girl Can Never Have Enough Purses!

A Girl Can Never Have Enough Purses

I just had to add this to the jumper. My grand daughter, which is only 5, grabs her purse if she is going out the door. I took the picture outside and the texture does show up better. I sewed a certain design on the yoke and purse with red thread. When I did the flower I did stippling with a nylon thread. I like this better.

X

I promise I'll take pictures of something else tomorrow. We are meeting to finish up our charity quilts, I need to remember the camera.

I need a close up so you can see all the detail of the yoke. Texture Magic really works magic. I love it. Working on the backpack and trying it on flowers, can't wait. I only put it on the front yoke of the dress and different fabric on the back.

Christmas Spirit Giveaway - Please read post

Christmas Spirit Giveaway

Please read post

OK girls and guys, you have to read this whole post to be able to understand what I’m trying to do. “Promise” I want to spread the true meaning of Christmas, celebrating Jesus Birthday, after all “Jesus is the reason for the Season” I am having a giveaway with what I feel is the talent that God has given me. We all have talent that He has given us. Since I have been on Blogland, I have met so many creative people. It may be sewing, photography, writing, knitting, crocheting, quilting, mosaic, painting, mixed media artist, cooking or taking something from old and giving it new life. I know there are many more, but you get the picture. I am posting a little girls dress I made and you can leave me a post to get your name in, but here is the TWIST. The dress is for the winner and then he or she will turn and give it to a little one that may not have a new dress for the Christmas Holiday's. A family that might have lost their income or is in crises with the economy the way it is at this time. Maybe a family that has lost their house from the fires in California or the storms down South.

My daughter said ‘Mom, why don’t you just give it to a little girl”. This is my thought; maybe this can be spread through Blogland. Now I know that it is the busiest time of the year and believe you me, I had to hustle when I thought about this. If you are having a hard time and enter then this is for you. I would love to see you keep it or even a family member that you would love to give something to and you don't have the funds.

Now you don't have to do this, but my wish is for you to take just a little bit of time and have a giveaway but have it where someone who really needs it can win it. I will be glad to tell people about your giveaway. I am sorry that we only have time to do it in the States, so I can ship it to the winner in time for Christmas. Girls, you that are across our big Oceans, up North and South, can do this in your Country. Let’s get started and spread the Christmas Spirit. If you want to use the card for a logo, just click on it and save.

The reason for a little girls outfit. We just found out our 3rd grandbaby is a girl. That will be our 3rd girl. We couldn't be happier.

I hope I have made since. Drawing will be on December 10th. I think that will give it enough time to arrive.

Merry Christmas,

Quick Idea for a Little Girl

Quick Idea for a Little Girl

I've sold these and they go over well when a little girl has a hunter for a Daddy. I know I've been showing a lot of ideas with embroidery machines at this time, but I can turn those items out faster. I'll get back to my quilting and other projects after the show. This is just the sweat shirts and pants you can buy anywhere, I also have put it on pj's. Then I add a trim and embroidery on the shirt. I only have one complete outfit. Mainly sale the shirt by itself. So if you have a little want-a-be like daddy, you could embroidery anything.
