Mending

Mending my favorite quilt in the whole wide world.
My grandmother made this for me....pieced and quilted by hand!
When I was first married we used this quilt for a bedspread and it has a bit of wear on the binding.



 
 It's raining today..... so we may not see
many more scenes like these.

Pattern Giveaway

My friend Randi over at i have to say is having another fabulous giveaway!! An adorable jacket pattern kit. Give her a visit and take a look at all the lovely fabrics in her etsy shop while you're there!

Check out the awesome make-up bag tutorial over at Noodleheads blog too!! I love making small projects and this one is great. Step by step instructions with pictures, how great is that! Great gifts for the holidays, which is right around the corner girls. 

We have been very packing. My mother has sold her house and she will be moving in with us for now. We are excited for this new adventure and look forward to having her with us. God does great and mighty things when we least expect it!!

I will leave you with a cute picture of "Packing Day."

Scraps


Using my scraps to make this cute little mat that I found here
on the quilting gallery.
Although you can't see it very well I've hand stitched
this one to give it a more handmade look.  

Here, I'm adding the binding.
