Project for the Week

August 26, 2006

Well since I have been so quiet, I guess I better let ya’ll know what I’ve been working on. The heirloom bug has bitten again, so quilting has been pushed aside for the time being.

This is Children’s Corner Kathy/Kelley (the Kathy version). The dress is pima checks and the madeira applique and collar is pima pique. The bonnet is Petite Poche’s Le Petite Enfant. I love this bonnet! I can definitely see more of these in my future.

I attached the lace to the collar and bonnet with my new Spanish hemstitch foot. I love this foot but I need to play with more stitches because this 3 step zigzag did not show up well.

I have also embroidered me a new shirt this week, but I’ll save those pics for tomorrow. I don’t know if blogger can handle that many pics at one time lol!

Lonely Mommy

August 12, 2006



Well, yesterday was the first day of school. My baby started school. WWWAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! He is so happy with school. I am glad that he didn’t cry, but I must admit it hurt my feelings a little :D . So now what do I do with my time?? I am cleaning house and sewing some. When Aaron leaves next week, things are going to get really lonely. Thank goodness Hope is here now, so I can just go and bug her ;)

Last Row Robin Finished!

August 8, 2006

This row quilt is for Deb. H. Her theme was oriental. When I saw these oriental appliques at Secrets of Embroidery, I knew this would be my addition to her quilt. I hope you like it Deb!



I have received all 3 of my robins back also (1 round, 2 rows). I will post pics of them later. I love all 3 and will cherish them forever. These ladies put a lot of time and thought into their additions, and I really appreciate all of their work.
