We Made Christmas Quilts!

Good morning!

Here they are! Our Christmas quilts!

Remember our Halloween Quilts from earlier this month?

 
These were made the same way 4 inch squares sewed in a 4 patch then sewed in strips..and then the strips sewed together.. I had quite a few Christmas fabrics in my craft room but we added some buffalo checks, plaid, and red and black polka dots....They are twin sized..

The queen has already claimed her spot..Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Halloween in a Tray!

Good morning! 

Only a couple days left until Halloween!

 I finished this Silver Creek Samplers Happy Halloween this past week.. This was one of my Stitchmaynia starts this year ..It is in the 2013 Special Halloween issue from Just Cross Stitch Magazine or you can buy the chart..

I changed all the floss except for the Ohio Lemon Pie and all the colors I used are above..

This is the wall in my kitchen filled with some Halloween and Autumn stitched goodies! On top is Lizzie Kate Halloween ABC's ..hanging are the Judith Kirby Halloween Victorians, on the right is the Chalk for the Home Sunflower Manor ( my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design..

I mounted the stitching on sticky board and then did another piece of sticky board for the back of black check homespun.. I added it with magnets and sheet metal to this tray from The Good will .. I made a bow from Halloween buffalo check fabric and the black check homespun.. the little ghost is a tulip wood shape turned upside down and painted white with a ghost shape..I also added some black glitter berries from the Dollar Tree to the bow.. you can click the colored text to read more about those things ..

Halloween Table Runner

Good morning!

Remember those Halloween Quilts we made ?

I had 3 extra 4 square rows ( because we were clueless when we were cutting out our fabrics) :)so I sewed them together and made a table runner! I didn't have a new bolt of batting so I used the scraps we cut off from making our quilts and pieced them together ..

 This is the backing ...you can see all my crooked quilting lines .. I know I need a walking foot to make that easier but they are expensive for my machine .. I think the binding got a little easier this time though! It is not perfect but it is CUTE! If you would like to see more about the tiered tray click here..

 Thanks so much for visiting!

Cow Cuteness!

Good morning friends!

Isn't this the cutest!?!

My daughter stitched up this cow from Prairie Schooler's Barnyard Christmas ,,and I finished 

 it up into a tart pan.. She found the tart pans on Amazon.. We cut a piece of sticky board into a round shape.. I added batting on top of that and then stuffing on top of the batting. I then added the stitched piece and hot glued it around the back ..
I ruffled a strip of torn red homespun and added that to the back so a little would peek out around the edge of the tart pan. I added some sprigs of greenery ..a bow from the homepun and a buffalo check covered button.. It is adorable and now I have to stitch all those animals!

The latest floss tube video..

Have a great day !

Trick or Treat Window

Good morning friends!

I finished this Bent Creek piece a couple days ago and finished it up into a vintage window yesterday..

 I dyed the fabric with tea and coffee then didn't think it was dark enough so I poured some brown Rit dye on it and rinsed it out .. All the colors I used are above .. this was a really quick stitch ..Long and skinny ..so I needed to find a cute way to finish it..

 I found this window at the flea market last time and added the stitching to the bottom..My daughter Chelsea cut me the Trick or Treat letters on her Cricut .. I have a Cricut too but she has a newer version hooked up to her I Pad so it's easier for her to use than dragging my computer down the basement .. I attached them with a little adhesive so I can remove them and add another piece to the window for a different season..I also added a crow from The Dollar Tree on top...I added a band of black check homespun to each end of the piece ..

Thanks so much for your visit!
