Felt inch worm toys - Georgetown, Texas - June 2012


Hello there!  Using the Evelyn Inch Worm pattern from a pattern book by Wee Wonderfuls, I hand stitched these felt toys over the course of a couple of weekends.  The bottom image was taken before accessories and facial features were added.  All but one are gifts and were sent out today in the post.  This is the first felt worm I made and this is Emma-Leo, the pattern was also from the same book.
Work begins tomorrow on the bathroom and bedroom upstairs. They were the only rooms in which the walls were not re-textured and painted before we moved in.  We are also having new flooring put down, it will be nice to get this checked off our to do list.  The project should be completed by the end of the month (if not sooner). Hope the weekend was a fun one.  Enjoy the journey.

Something For Me

Echino whole cloth quilt - melmade - spring 2012


Another session on the long arm quilting machine this week. This time around it was quilted in meandering loops, in a lime green thread and the quilt dimensions are 57 inches by 104 inches. The quilt front is one whole piece of fabric and the back is made up of the green and tan fabrics.  I am looking forward to snuggling under this one. *The binding is now attached and here is another view.
Hope all is well in your corner of the planet.  Enjoy the journey.

Quilt Complete

Finished hand stitching the binding onto the quilt featured in the above images.  It always feels so good to finish up a project.  The raised beds are all in and have transplants or seeds in them. Will share images very soon. Wishing each of you a wonderfully magical weekend. Enjoy the journey.

Quilting Results

 A long arm quilting session was completed yesterday in just under three hours. I used orange thread and a meandering pattern. I really enjoyed the process and with practice will be able to tackle more complicated patterns. Now to attach the binding. Enjoy the journey.

Front and Back

This project is coming together nicely. Both pieces will be quilted together Wednesday. I have made an appointment to use the long arm quilting machine I recently had a lesson on, should be interesting. Hope the weekend treats each of you very well.
Enjoy the journey.

2000th Member Cover Contest Entry

Letter Writers Alliance (LWA) - 2000th Member Cover Contest
As most of you know, I love mail and although I don't write as many letters as I would like, I do try to send cards and the odd letter quite often.  Which is why I found the LWA interesting and joined. Above is my entry to a recent contest they held, a collage of stamps and a cut out drawing of mine with a few extras added for good measure.  It was fun putting this together.  Wishing each of you good mail days ahead.  
Enjoy the journey.

In The Works

Wildflowers

Wildflowers are blooming in our back yard after the much needed rain we have experienced this past week. As evident from the image above. Finished a little project this week, an iPad stand (see above), using the following tutorial. You might enjoy the following granola recipe, I sure did. I may like it best without yogurt, just dry, eaten out of hand as a snack. I do hope the weekend is most enjoyable. Enjoy the journey.

Giraffe, Sock And Hat

Have a wonder filled weekend!!!
