Happy Valentines 💝

I spent Monday evening and Tuesday morning working on this table topper.

Again I didn't have a pattern, just a picture, so it took some work figuring out the measurements but I think it turned out cute.

Hope you enjoyed Valentines day wether you celebrate it or not.

Happy sewing.

First quilt of the year is finished

Here is my first quilt of the year 2023 finished and ready to go to its new home. It's a gift for my nephew from his Abuela and I. 

I hope he we likes it.

I found the tiger panel at a local quilt shop. I did not have a pattern but saw a picture of someone else's quilt online that looked like this but with other border fabrics. It was so stunning, so I had to copy it. I'm so thankful for the creative people out there in the world who share there creations with others. So I take no credit for the pattern itself, only the construction of this quilt.

Well I best be getting back to my other projects so they don't end up in the UFO pile. 

Happy sewing.

New Year, New space

As usual the New year has begun and with it so much fun. I have a new sewing space, which is very exciting.

I have begun to arrange my space which is challenging yet enjoyable. 

So far I have setup a few shelves and two sewing stations. 

I am discovering that my stash has grown in the past year substantially. Or maybe it has been growing for many year 🤔 I just get to finally take inventory of everything and have it all in the same space.

Here is a peak of what I've done so far....

My friend Kathy, was over yesterday and she helped me sort through the boxes of fabric. I'm so grateful for wonderful friends.

I look forward to a fun year of creating wonderful things in this new space.

Happy sewing!!

Stitch n the ditch

I'm practicing quilting on my domestic machine. I have a EverSewn sparrow30s. I have been sewing a lot of quilt tops and making other small items with this machine, since I got it. I have just started doing a little quilting. I love the walking foot which makes quilting in the ditch fairly easy. So far I have quilted one baby quilt, three throw size quilts and I'm almost finished with my fourth throw size quilt. 

My lovely Aunt Barbara gave me a pair of quilting gloves. They help with this process so much. The gloves definitely relieve the strain on my hands and wrists that I was experiencing. 

Here's a picture of my nice gloves, machine and the fourth quilt.

I am definitely loving my machine. It is smooth and has so many cool options. I look forward to learning more of them this year.

Happy sewing!

Quilting fun...

Puppies...

Another quilt made for my friend. It is so fun to quilt with a purpose. 

I love making these for my friends grandkids.  

This quilt is for a young girl, who loves puppies and the color green. 

Hope she enjoys it! 

On to the next quilt...cats and the color red😉

Happy quilting ya'll!

Giveaway last weekend!

This is the view from my work office, I am so glad the weather is getting warmer. March has been sporadic, the temps have been up down up down but moving in a warmer direction. It was warm enough yesterday that I spent time triming my rose bushes. I have the thorn pricks to show for it today and my back it pretty angry at me right now.

I am going to add more to the giveaway today and will pick a winner this week. So you have a chance to enter again if you would like. You can like my instagram account for another chance to win.
I have a container with odds and ends in it and I will pick something from it. Maybe scissors or pins, what ever will fit into the package that I send.
