Right now is the best time to buy a patio set because they are all on clearance! I was wanting a tall table and chair set for our cabin to put out on the deck and when I started looking, they were all on sale! (Score!)
I found this set that was perfect for what I wanted, it was the right height, no glass on the table, padded seats and swivel chairs!
This project today comes from my daughter. My husband and I have been gone so much the last week or so that my daughter offered to take pictures of this darling skirt that she made for her daughter to help me out!
This skirt is pieced together, so you could make this in any color combo that you want.
I have been practicing my quilting techniques again lately. I decided that I would make some quilts that I could give away to a charity and practice my quilting skills at the same time. I figured that a small child somewhere would not care what the quilting looks like in a new blanket, right? So this is a perfect combination for me. I practice quilting and someone, somewhere will get a new quilt! A win, win situation!
I saw a flag quilt on Pinterest the other day and decided that I needed to make one! So I ran and got some fabric and put this together last night! It was really easy to make, but when I washed it to make it “rag” out, some of the fabric shrunk differently than the other and it came out a little bit crooked. I was just going to leave it, because it is just a seasonal decoration, but my OCD got the better part of me and I had to straightened it out! :)
I got one more quilt done for our new littlest granddaughter! She was a month early, so I told her mom that I still had a month to get this done!
This was a fun quilt to make. I made one of these quilts a few years ago, but added extra borders to make it a lap quilt. I had so much fun making it that I decided to make another one.
I got this fabric on my own personal quilt shop hop during our trip in Arizona last March!
I have both May and June block(s) of the month this time.
These were both so fun to sew and they were completely different techniques! One is paper piecing, the other one teaches how to make flying geese. I absolutely love learning a new technique each month. Some of these I have done before, but it seems like everyone does it just a little bit different and it is great to learn all the new ways!
I made a little coloring bag a year or so ago and my granddaughter has loved it and taken it to church . It is made with these cute pink floral and stripe fabrics, very girly.
My three year old grandson decided that he needed a bag to take to church, so he kind of “stole” it from his sister and was wearing it at church. Someone made a comment to him about “nice purse” and he was very defiant about the fact that it was not a purse, but that it was his crayon bag! (No confidence issues here!) Well, Grandma decided that perhaps he needed a more “manly” looking coloring bag, (and the fact that she wanted to practice her quilting skills) so this is what I came up with.
Have any of you seen these adorable minky blankets for babies? They have got to be the softest, most cuddly blanket that I have ever felt! I want one for me.
I do not have a Thursday’s Thought this week. Instead, I have this really cute picture!
This is our newest little granddaughter! We are so excited to have her here and to know that she and her mom are both doing good! We were worried because there were some complications, so we are so thankful that everything turned out so well! Continue reading
We have a new little granddaughter coming in the near future and we are so excited! So I have started a little bit of sewing for this new little granddaughter!
My friend, Kathy, introduced me to these cute, new little bib/aprons. She gave me the pattern for these “Baprons” and I absolutely love this concept! They cover well and they stay in place because it has armholes like an apron! Why didn’t we ever have these fun, cute things when my kids were little?
