JAB Lovebird

HOT off the q-snaps, I loved stitching this and it only took me 2 days! This is JAB Co Lovebird stitched on a pale yellow 28ct fabric from my stash with DMC with the called for buttons. I think I'm going to use the fabric in the back ground to make it into a small pillow/ pin cushion. Not sure yet if this is my final fabric choice it will have to lay on the pressing board for a while and I will keep checking on it and it will tell me when its ready. LOL

If cats could talk...

Just finished stitching this very cute chart. "If cats could talk..." designs by Lisa. The fabric in the background is yardage that goes with a charm pack I have that I will be using to make either a sewing machine cover or tote bag not sure yet which.

pillow quilt finish

Just finished up the binding on my new pillow. Since I stitched this to look like a quilt block I also finished it like a quilt with binding around the edge.  I love how it has turned out, now on to my next finish.
Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by.

crazy quilt pillow top

The pillow top is done now I just have to put the zipper in the back and sew them together. This has been fun and while stitching on other projects I'm thinking how to finish them in a quilt project so that I can work on both of my hobbies, counted cross stitch and quilting.

stitching finish


Not much blogging going on for me but I have been doing some stitching. I finished up this on Friday last, now trying to figure how I want to finish it. I did go to the quilt shop and bus some pretty green fabric that goes oh so good in case I decide on some kind of sewing project.

edited to add:  The chart is from Imaginating designed by Ursula Michael called "Let's Sew"
stitched on a white even weave with green variation DMC floss.

mug rug

I wasn't sure what I was going to make with the little stitched heart flowers, but I figured it out as I went. I did a crazy quilt square and made it into a little mug rug when all said and done it only measures 4 1/4" X 6 1/4". I just used scraps from my sewing basket. I really like how it turned out it makes me smile for some reason, I think I will have to make some more of these.

3rd RR


This is the 3rd RR that has come my way. I've finished stitching and have also stitched a 2nd part for myself. This RR is so fun because you never know what is going to be waiting for you in the envelope.
