Some of my Spring projects...... finished just in time!


Our lilacs are in full bloom. View from my my sewing room!

Ohhhhhh...their sweet fragrance!

Special Easter greetings to all of you and your family.

Hugs, Carolyn

    Your watercolor card is fantastic! You could make it into an appliqué quilt. Our lilacs aren't blooming yet. They're my favorite flower. Happy Easter to you.

    I love the view out your sewing room window! If we had an upstairs I would be able to see snow capped mountains all day! Cute projects! Have a great weekend with your family....

    Very cute card and fun, springy projects! I especially like the little quilt under the hen.
    Can't wait for my lilacs to bloom! I like to bring bouquets inside and enjoy the scent, too. When all 13 bushes are blooming the whole yard smells nice. : )

    I had no idea you were so multi-talented! I love all you Easter projects. Especially the little tree skirt. I used to have an Easter tree....I wonder what happened to it?? Might need to get another one so I can make a cute tree skirt too.

    Friend Donna says " I put all my Easter sweet
    colorful blessings out that you have given to
    me over the year's..........:" Goodness sakes!
    I have so many and love each one of them. Must
    say your cards get better with each one. Your
    teacher did a good job, tho, you didn't need much
    teaching. Your friend, Donna.

    What a beautiful parade of spring fashions you have made for your home. We had an old lilac bush in Northern Calif, none here. Nothings smells like spring like lilacs.

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. ...

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
