How Many Ways To Do Grandmother's Garden?

I love Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilts.

There are so many different ones out

there it hard to decide how I want to do mine.

I love how they did the flowers at the bottom of this one.

I got this one from:

http://www.appleberryquilts.com/

Isn't this amazing!

I found it at:

http://patchworkchronicles.com/

I really like how they did the edge on this one.

I am not to sure I would do all the work to hang over a door...

but another cute edge.

I think the edges really make some quilts.

this one came from;

Another pin cushion...

Oh Yeah...

its like fabric

I can never have to many!!

Favorites

This is my favorite place to sit and stitch and/or applique.

 I have even been known to hide under a big quilt and just watch TV. 

I think our spot is just as important as "His" spot. I do share sometimes....

Where do you sit..

I Love doing dish towels While I watch a movie...

Here's a few of my favorites

The Gingerbreads are in my cookbook..

Have a great Day and may your needles never become dull!

Moving the Quilt

I changes up the quilts on the walls...here's one ....

Don't notice the computer cord ....LOL...I have to Blog too!

Sneak Peek

Sneak Peek...

This is my new pattern I have been working on.

Almost done.....

I am thinking I need to do it with part applique too...

I Love This Fabric...

Isn't this the cutest fabric....

I am thinking I need about 5 bolts...

It looks so fresh and clean I can see this as curtains, chair seat covers,

 tablecloth and so much more.

This is from Lori Holt's new line.

She has a post about one of her new patterns so click on over to:

You won't be sorry it is so cute!

A Favor for a Treat!

Does this look like a good favor...

These little cupcakes are really wash cloths folded into 3rds and rolled to fit in the cupcake paper and topped with a flower and button. Then put into these cute bags and tied off. I made them for a favor I am giving away this week.I am suppose to bring a treat to a meeting I hope these count! I had so much fun making them. I did light a sugar cookie candle to help the mood.

Finishing Touches

I have been finishing up this quilt and thought I would share .... I wasn't to sure about this one until now and I think I like it...

I can't remember the name of the line...

I used a Jelly roll for the center and the binding.

I was a very easy quilt to put together. And I got the pattern out of a Better Homes and Garden Quilting magazine. I have been making more and more from the magazines I buy than the books.I guess 7 dollars beats 22 dollars,,,LOL

Tea and a New Mug Rug!

I am having a nice cup of tea and enjoying my new Mug Rug!

I had so much fun making this I want to go find some cute mugs and make some more.

This is the finished piece without the tea so you can see.

I did make mine a little bigger, it is 6 X 10.

I already have another stitchery in mind for the next one!

I was Inspired!

I was over at :

http://sewdollswhosnext.blogspot.com/

And saw  her Mug Rugs I LOVE them... What a fun idea!

So I decided to make one.

I picked 2 fabrics to get started. The floral will be the main fabric and the white is what I did the stitchery on.

I started by quilting the the background. Then drawing and stitching the picture at the top.

If you want to see the results you'll just have to stop by again...I will will be so happy you did too!

Working On...

Here is what I am working on....I think it needs a cup of tea on 1 arm and a stack of books on the other ...

Still thinking.... Sorry the picture is a little blurry...but the next one will be better. Soon as I figure out what to add...

So Cute!

I was so excited!

This is the newest addition to my dress form collection!

I got this from Brandon and Lani.

It was the perfect gift!

Thank You!
