Buzzzz

Things that buzz, that is this month's challenge for the post card swap. Here's mine it will be off in the mail in the morning.
  I bought these buttons just for making bees. I have used a few different ways for making their wings. On this one I used silk ribbon in a lazy daisy stitch.
I used will ribbon and embroidery floss in French knots for flowers in the grass.
It's always fun to play a little and create these post cards to share.
We will be lost without these little guys.

A stitch at a time




Always feels great to get a project done.
Quilted hug done.

It's  amazing what one accumulates over the years of left overs from quilts , either kits or fabrics purchased. I am working on the third quilt from such fabrics bought for one baby quilt. I decided it's time to get at them and maybe even sell them when done. I'm using a pattern on Mods Bake Shop called Jungle Path baby quilt.
With a cheddar accent
The other 2 with white and grey accents


And a weekly challenge on the design wall

Sew one stitch at a time and I hope to get a few more projects completed.
In stitches until next time

Stitching along

Well we are slowly bring our camping gear home, just the camper left. Kinda sad as this means summer is coming to a close. Falls not sew bad, shorter days may bring more quilting.
It's been a very wet day today, sew I was working on a few projects I have on the go. Binding is sewn on the Christmas quilt , now to finish by hand. Good tv work I think.
 I was trying out a pattern for a bag with some sample fabric my niece gave me..... just need a piece of hardware, a slider and it will be done.
Also working a little on a quilted hug made from fabric given to me , I think it was leftovers from a quilt. Working up nicely. I hope to make a few of these Quilted hugs to give to the nursing home here in town. I'm sure someone could use a warm hug.
