Year end gift from 4S

 Hello ladies,

This year I had an amazing E.A. Who really went above and beyond everyday. I made a tall strip rag quilt and the kids valiantly snipped it without any help from me. I had other scrap quilts I could have gave him but I knew he would love that the kids were part of the creating. He loved it. Her

Year end gift

 Hello ladies,

  While I am not the greatest blogger in June I did get a bit of quilting done.  Mr. Her had an amazing E.A. This year so I finished up the scrappy/wonky  log cabin for her. She is a camper/farmer type of lady so she  has taken it camping already. I love it when you know a gift is going to be well used and appreciated. Her

Crafting with Her.

 The first craft day was chosen by her. It was a painting project. 

The next project was my choice (the Crafter).

We started with some small terra cotta pots.

Then we painted them.

Then we took some socks and filled with rice, stones and fiberfill.

Then we took a mop apart to build some beards. Her took the time to separate the mop strands, to make it fuller looking.

We added painted Styrofoam balls for noses, and some embellishments to the pots. 

GNOMES that is what we ended up with.

Quilt Cave Designs

 Good morning ladies,

Here’s the finished strip quilt from our Easter Crafty Retreat.  I ended up using a wavy stitch to quilt in the middle of strips 1 and 4 and over the seam of strips 2 and 3. The zigzag stitch was a little to linear for the wonkiness. I think it looks great. ( I accidentally set the colour on the pic as vivid so those pinks really aren’t as wild as they look.) Thanks for all the help, we make a great team.   Her

Feeling appreciated

 Isn’t it a great feeling when people appreciate your gifts?
