A little bit of this and a little bit of that..






It's hot!!!

Indoor only for this lady...

This means more sewing with the grand. Pillow case covers, key fob chap stick holders, a purse is next for the 11 year old and another pillowcase for the now 6 year old.


While being too hot to iron I have been working oi cutting felt  for two projects,

The beginning of a tea mat for mu daughter and the grand girls for their tea parties:



 Just because it tickled my fancy


And yeah--this clock hasn't worked ...in forever ...who wants to track time in the sewing room? Well, actually I do, but I set a timer on my phone :-)



The pony was a gift from my daughter may years ago...Do you keep trinkets in your sewing space for inspiration?

And the granddaughters requested extra sleeping masks...so....



What's under your needle?

Some hand sewing lessons for the Grands...

Making chap stick key fob holders...closing the turning hole...

5 year old







11 year old

















almost the last of the blah blah blah fabric---4 more mug rugs..





















and I guess after 6+ years I need to order some more wonder clips...





Do you have a wool pressing pad ye? if not --yes they ARE worth it!



This quilt for my Grandson is finally done-yes-hand quilted





And remember when I told you that I use the low tech solution to remind me to change the needle plate when done with the single hole? I did--but forgot to change my quarter inch foot..crunch!! A $30 error (cost to replace the broken foot) :-(

Whats under your needle?
