16.6 – Button it Up – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING

This was a left over block that my fellow PQ Nancy I. gave me. I  loved the little blue hand appliqued basket but thought that it's tiny size (3" or so) was unseal for the size of the block (12" X12 "}.


I really wanted to try to make the button spider and I love it! I wish I should have used more colorful buttons. 

I've had this book in my stash and wanted to try some of the stitches! I have a steep learning curve when it comes to embroidery.

My collection of buttons.

Deciding which block to use for this weeks project.

Thank you for visiting!

  16.3 – Common Blocks – Challenge 3 of Project QUILTING season 16 I had so much fun with this challenge! I worked with my fellow Project Quilter and friend Nancy I. together we went through Nancy's collection of "left overs" or "orphan" blocks. We started with piles of blocks in various stages of construction and we worked together bouncing ideas off of one another.  We tested colors and block layouts. It was like working on a puzzle. It was a challenge to figure out how the blocks fit together. We couldn't believe that we finished our tops on day one! It was a wonderful day! Thank you Nancy for coming up with a great idea of using leftovers! I set out to make a blue quilt but I ended up with a purple and pink quilt. I love it! I'm spotting Minnie Mouse's bow and shoes. I found Peter Rabbit yesterday when I was binding! There are little orange crabs.  It is such a pleasure to be surrounded by a truly scrappy quilt-I was so cozy under my new quilt! S...

  14.2 – Pink Tint – Challenge 2 of Project QUILTING Season 14 For this challenge I decided to make a historical sewing kit, housewife, hussif or hussy I found a free pattern at   Ora Lin  's pattern shop and of course had to make it my own as most quilters do.  I love learning about antique and vintage quilts so making a historical sewing kit has been something I have wanted to do for a while now. Just to note its not a historically accurate hussy.  To learn more about historical sewing kits here are the two vlogs I found helpful, insightful, and just fun to listen to while sewing.  Check out  these links:  Ora Lin's Pattern:  https://youtu.be/0L7tIjQlf1c    Fun talk about housewives By Sewstine:  https://youtu.be/1v83LBYEDMY Finished Sewing Kit                                                     ...
