Update Sewing Projects!

I have been working on hand quilting this large quilt for 3 years, I'm finished!!
Close up view of quilting....resting my fingers before starting another hand quilting project♥️!
Placed it on a chair in our guest bedroom...cozy spot to sip some tea and read a good book.
Meet Miss Emmie!
Gave her a sewing basket full of goodies maybe she can sew a little something for her bear.....may she might need a little help!

 HAPPY SPRING!!

Robin's have arrived in "Iowa".
Hope you all are experiencing the beautiful Spring weather. 
Hug's, 
Carolyn

    Your quilt is beautiful! I love the blue you used and I love scrappy quilts. Even if it took three years to quilt, it was well worth the effort. You have a treasure there!

      Hi Marsha,
      Thank tou fkr taking the time to visit leave me your sweet comment. I am pleased as how the quilt turned out even though it took me 3 years! I have not blogged much as I have had problems blogging. A Geek Agent was here yesterday and everthing is good now and then he showed me how to post using my Tablet...so much easier than the computer. So hopefully I can start posting on a more regular basis! Thanks again for stopping by!! Hug's, Carolyn

    The quilting is very pretty. I don't do much hand quilting any more as it is so hard for me to baste a quilt. I well appreciate anyone who still takes time to do it.

    I love 9 patch quilts! So many ways to put them together and all so pleasing! Your blue really sets off this quilt. Hand quilting---what an accomplishment and heirloom.

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...

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
