fun project

 Worked on a customer T-shirt quilt today  got all the blocks laid out waiting approval then will put together with sashing.
 This week I have been cleaning sewing area downstairs.  I found a section of strips sewn together left from a bargelo wall hanging. was going to put in scrap bin for strings but came across a wall hanging project on the internet  using strings. I decided to use this piece I found  as the foundation. Yesterday we had a sew day at my house, so I decided to make this wall hanging.  looked in the scraps for fabric for the pot and flowers.  then found fat quarter for the back and piece for binding.  All of it came from my scraps..  Felt so good to do this.   I put binding on it tonight and sewed it down.  Putt some buttons in center of flowers.  It is done...  here is a picture of it..  may look for a butterfly button to add to it.

Mother's day gifts

I found a free embroidery design for a Mother's Day mug rug  so I decided to try it.
It was easy and fast.   It was made all in the hoop.   So fun I made 5 of them..    Can use the same design and put Happy Birthday  or no saying at all  on it.    here is a picture of 2 of them.

also worked on putting the baby girl quilt together while this was stitching.   got rows together and 2 rows sewn together...  
Happy Mother's day to all
