Creating "green" projects!

Have thread-- will sew!
I'm in my sewing room dressed in green and.....

                                               gathered up some of my green "stash" and.....

...made a pin cushion and....
 a small green doll quilt, too!

"May you always have work for your hands to do.
May Your pockets hold a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certian to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you."
                                          
 Irish Blessings quote

Hugs, Carolyn

    A Happy St Patrick's Day to you also, a little early but not too early to think about your cute green pin cushion and little green quilt. Love them both. Hugs

    Lots of fun going on in your sewing room, would you have some green cookies too? We are snowed in and I am thinking hot chocolate and an oatmeal cookie would be perfect right now.....

    I like the lady in her green dress. And the green doll quilt. That would be my style preference for a St. Patrick's Day quilt. Green but no shamrocks.

    I love St. Patrick's Day and March. The lovely color of green and the promise of Spring with fresh grass makes me happy. :)

    Wonderful job on the darling doll quilt and pincushion!

    May your blessings out number the shamrocks that grow,
    And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
    Love your doll quilt.

    I love the green Carolyn. It is my favorite color but I am never organized enough and have never stitched anything for St. PAt's, I think I need to change that.
    Have a lovely weekend :)

It's That Time Of The Year Again!!

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites!  "Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design. Some are happy and some are bad🤐 Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!! He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"! Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.   Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊 Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.   Have a great month!  Stay safe. ...

Hello, How Are You All Doing?

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope". Thought I would share with you as to what I have been doing while being home with Gene and keeping busy! Made this shoulder bag to hold my cell, necessary information, and my mask fits around the strap,---  "handy"! Made a new small patchwork bed quilt for "Miss Hitty"!    We have 6 grandchildren. Three boys and three girls. Three grandaughters have graduated from ISU . One grandson is sophomore at ISU and other grandson is attending UNI . I have made graduation quilts for all six. Our youngest grandson, Joe graduated from high school this spring and is now attending ISU in Ames, Iowa.  Had fun finding plaids and ISU prints for incorporating into the design of this quilt...a few of these plaid came from grandpas shirts....this is "our" secret,  okay!!  Joe (3) licking the bea...

New Year, New Ideas, Projects To Work On and Packing up Christmas 2016!

planning my next projects... Digging into my lace box, so much fun! I layered some lace trims together getting ready to make a zipper pouch. This pouch inspired me and was pictured on Rag Bag Gals Group (on Face Book).    Then, I saw these two bunnies...more fun ideas! Started this table topper before Christmas ---as you see, didn't get it finished. I plan to finish up and it will be ready to use next year!  Christmas treasures of 53 years ready to be packed up. Here we are--- Mrs and Mr Clause. Santa is saying "Bye, Bye  and Happy New Year Dear Friends." Sharing with each other our sewing,quilting projects and fun craft ideas is always so inspirational! Thank you. Hug's, Carolyn
