Any Day Spent Sewing...


...is a good day.

Just ask my friend, Jill. I was lucky enough to get her gift in our Pine Valley/Fairview gift exchange last month. She made me this cute summery table runner, featuring darling picnic-y fabrics.




We decided it would be perfect for my grandchildren to party and picnic on! (Yeah. Right after I drape it with PLASTIC!)


She also sewed this darling pincushion. I have long wanted a cute pincushion and now I can "have my cake and eat it too!" (Or not!) It has a cute card on it that says "any day spent sewing is a good day." And she made an additional tag that says "I cannot count my day complete 'til needle, thread and fabric meet." I wish I could sew every day!

Thanks, Jill, for making me so happy!

What darling gifts! I have been wanting to start a sewing project of some sort for a long time to no avail. Hmmn, I wonder what the summer will bring. Do you know of any sewing translators. I think sewing patterns are written in a foreign language.

Call it "Pictionary." Sometimes I just have to look at the drawings and guess!

So beautiful! I love that you and your friends are able to turn scraps of cloth into something so creative and beautiful looking. :)

You are so creative and make such wonderful things. I cross stretch and that happens to be the extent of my creativity besides scrap-booking. so when I see beautiful work like yours it makes me love it even more cuz of all the hard work that you put into it. I love to see all the thing that you create. you are so good at it!
