I saw the above image on Facebook.. she looks like me as a child before I grew up, had kids, and turned silver haired! lol In all actuality I did hand work as a child starting with counted cross stitch from age 6 or 7 I think! I had ever the nice collection then of dmc threads to do my cross stitch with. I didn’t find quilting until 2011!!!
How about you?
When did you start hand crafting and what was your first way to craft??
I am having so much fun keeping track of my crafty and quilty adventures in my journal… and the pre-assembled pages… soon I will have it all in my journal book… that is the goal anyway
For instance because of my list of started but not focused on projects on my list above… was the crochet quilt… I worked on this block this week and finished the button hole stitch up on this one and pulled out another to work on…
Then it was Valentine’s Day! Happy Valentine’s to all you that celebrate such a holiday 🙂
We celebrated with sweet little gifts.. and a trip to Franklin, NC. I made Rick this shirt he had been patiently waiting for me to make…
Here is a close up of the v neck and pocket detail I added with Cleopatra my 319w Singer.
I got me a couple new shirts on a clearance sale… the one in the back is actually embroidered!!!!
While in Franklin we went into a thrift shop and found 10 plates we really loved…
Here is the label on the back of the plates we found…
In looking to see if we could buy others like these plates to have a full set we found they were a bit pricey to buy otherwise! lol So if we ever need money we could sell our new china!!! We paid $5 for these 10 plates!!!! lol
I worked all week and rolled the quilt on Thursday morning…
I marked the outer border on the left side…
Soon that was filled with dark burgundy perle 12 cotton thread & the lines were spritzed away!
Here is my focus on the 2nd area of 6 areas across I will be quilting…
And here you can see the overview of my quilting progress and where I will be today … happily slow sitching…
And with that I will link this content of this post to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching HERE <<< Come see the wonderful pattern she is working on today and even an Australian link as to where to buy the pattern too ❤
I hope your tribe, like mine, is secure for you! I hope that you know you are awesome too ❤ Ellie received her quilt later this past week and loves it already her parents say! I am sew blessed 😀
