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

Spring Decor

 I decided that I needed something new when it came to Spring decor.  I got a wood sign and painted it. I have learned over the years it helps to paint the sign with white paint first, it acts like a primer. Then I chose some "Spring" like colors to complete it.

Cross stitching success

This is another project that was in the bag of projects that my aunts gave me.

This cross stitch project was my first attempt that included a diagram.




I started in the middle because that is supposedly how it works. They even mark the center for you, which I wouldn't have know about if not for my mom.

My mom also gave me this neat magnetic board to help keep track of where I was on the diagram.


The finished project. Of course, it is not exactly like the original. I chose not to do the outlining. Plus there is a few stitches that are out of place, but I made it work.


The project is only 5x7. I put it in a dollar store wood frame. Now it just needs to find a home.
