Anna Maria Horner Needleworks Floss

So excited to see this in her shop! We saw it debut at the Quilt Market in Salt Lake a few months ago. I just love her color pallets. Now the really tough question-which one to get first?

 

I am excited to see if she puts out any embroidery or cross stitch patterns-that would be lovely!! I just love to crochet with the Pearl Cotton too-and you can't find it in such pretty colors very often. I am so excited to get a project going with these! Any one else? or I am out on a crafting limb here?

Cheers!

WIP

Working on some Make and Take projects for the Quilt Show and Expo that is coming to Kansas City in October. This is our first consumer show, and we are so excited! Just trying to come up with a fun quick project...harder than it sounds :) Also tossing around a kit for kids to learn-what do you think? How did you learn? Any good ideas out there?

I taught my middle niece last night with just a simple hand drawn design. We did her initial and some flowers on a satin ribbon. She LOVED it! It was so much fun and gratifying to teach her. I just love those girls-lucky me :)
Okay, off to more brainstorming in the Air Conditioning (thank goodness--its over 100 here today)!

Super cute embroidered chair

Dana over at Design Sponge created these cute embroidered chairs-I just had to share them. What a cool idea. I love finding new life for old things...now if I could just find the time to transform them :) I have a sofa table and 70's chair waiting at home for a facelift and I can't seem to find the time lately. Maybe this will get me jumpstarted!

Aren't they just awesome? What a cool idea. I love Design Sponge, one of my favorite blogs.  There are so many great before and after furniture redos--Go check it out here.

Happy Stitching All!

WIP....baby room (for a friend)

card from her young cousin at the baby shower...too cute :)

I took a bit of a road trip this weekend, headed east to St. Louis to see my good friend Pam. She is expecting twins in September and had asked me to come sew the stuff for the baby room and attend the baby shower. So with double the things to sew I wasn't sure how long it was going to take me......

two bedskirts....one boy & one girl

I got about half way done--the bedskirts are done and one curtain panel. I have the other curtain panel left to do and two diaper holders. Her Aunt surprised her with two crib quilts to match the room and stuff I had sewn, they are just darling.

one curtain panel...still needs the other  mate :)

The fabric she picked is just so cute--I love it. Can't wait to see the whole room put together. They are getting new carpets installed this week, so I don't have a picture of the whole room complete, but I will get some pictures from Pam when it is all finished!

What a busy (and super fun!) weekend! Hope you all had a great one too!

Cheers!
