My First Quilt sorta

Yea! I have finished my first quilted (sorta) project.

It is a Amy Butler (free pattern) and of course I used the same fabric.

I have two more of these to make with different fabric.

I am giving them away a wedding presents.

 I am showing my binded edges and mitered corners because they have been intimidating me the most!

I was so excited when I finished last night.  I didn't even roll the fabric with my sticky tape to clean

from being in sewing room.  The cotton/poly thread made so much fuzz.

I suppose this is normal.  Would love to know if it is not.

I've made napkins and making holder which I will photo for next post.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

A little before and soon after

I am beginning to work on some before and after projects.  

Obsessing over different things does keep me busy!

I have chosen to sand and paint my "Honey's" luggage stand.

My grandmother (I'm 50) that might give you an idea how old she would be now.

She had my mother is her early 30's.  Mom was her only child.  

So the stand has been around awhile.

I have sanded and begun to prime.  I haven't decided yet what color I will paint.

I have bought two ribbons which I will post as soon as I get pictures.  

I have to decide which to use.  I would love for you all to help me.

This next picture is an old wooden table in my daughters back yard.

 I am sanding and filling in cracks with wood filler.  I will be lucky if this one turns out good.

I want her to be able to use it on her front porch.

The house is white with black shutters and a red door.  I recently bought her a chair

that is yellow for her front porch and a yellow pot.  I am not sure what color of this table will be.

You could help me there too.

I just finished this pincushion yesterday for a pincushion swap. I sure hope she likes it. I had to make two because my first wasn't perfect enough. Since I am a seamstress more than a crafter, it takes me a little time to get technique down. I made it out of 100% wool felt.

Pillowcase Dress

This is a pillowcase dress I made out of Gypsy Bandana Fabric

Liz will probably be able to wear it for several years!

It really seemed big after making it.

  But, by pulling ribbon tighter you make it smaller.

Her mother loved it.  I wish I had taken a picture, but forgot to try it on her.

Sorry!
