I have been busy with life and some sewing.  Thanks to my friend Maria for the terrific quilting on my place mats for Easter and Wine.

Wish I could have been closer but while taking posy pics saw a hummer at the feeder.

 



Fruits of My Garden's Labor

I just picked two of my colored Cauliflower.  I have grown the purple, orange and white, but I could  not get the green to come up before.  The green is a trip of a spiral.  You can see some of the water droplets in the picture but enjoy!

 

 

 

 

My Sugar Snap Peas are coming along also...  A little Pyracantha in the back ground.

 



Bird Purse

This was the first BB purse I made from this pattern.  really fun.  I made it for my cousins friend.  Request a small, secure travel purse in blue and with birds... Here you go...

Recent Sewing

I had preciously posted pictures of the T-shirt Quilt I made for my friend to give to her daughter for Christmas.   I returned the unused shirts, jackets, sweats, etc. to Lynda (the mom) when I was done.... Or so she thought.  I kept a few of the items and made a tote bag for her.   She enjoyed receiving the surprise gift.

I embroidered some towels for friends to have for Valentine's Day. 

 

 

 

 

Our February Sew N Sews project was a microwave hot pad bowl. Sylvia showed us how to make the padded bowl cradle with a lid to use in the microwave.  You place your ceramic/china bowl with soup, leftover, etc. to be warmed in the padded bowl and warm it in the microwave.  When done you can lift out the hot bowl without burning your hands thanks to the padded bowl underneath.... It also has a lid to keep splatters down  (ie not having to clean inside of microwave so often)  It is all made from 100% cotton so no fires in microwave....

 

A special thanks to Sylvia for her expertise!

 



 

 

T-Shirt Quilt

My dear friend Lynda asked me to make a T Shirt Quilt from  her daughter's many  Ball Shirts, Sweats and jackets, etc.  I was so pleased with how this turned out.  It was quite large.  Lynda gave it to her for Christmas.

Attending a tea

My friend Cornelia invited me to the Christmas Tea at her church. Each table was theme decorated by that table's host.  There was elegant tea time  - ours - and a Polynesian, kids table and more.  It was a lovely afternoon and I also won a door prize.  Wahoo!

Christmas Centerpiece

Beverly sent this beautiful Christmas Centerpiece for our table.  The flowers lasted almost two weeks.  Such a nice gift.

Rest in Peace

Our sweet girl left us today at 1 pm.... We will miss her so very much.. Our hearts have a huge hole  - I am sure in  time they will mend just not sure when.


We love you Muchacha


Goodbye good girl

Flowers and the Garden

I just love flowers and right now some of the Geraniums, Petunias and  Alyssum are looking so nice. I know where you live may have lots of snow and cold - to me it is cold here, but...

Just had to share as they make me smile.

I also have some Herbs, Mint, Rosemary and Lavender Plants.

Here is a picture of my snap peas just starting their climb.

 

 

 

I have lots of different lettuce - Speckled Trout romaine, Butter Lettuce.. Rough Romaine, Carrots, Beets, Garlic, Broccoli and Purple and White Cauliflower coming around.

 

 

 

Such fun!

Sewing with Girlfriends

A few weeks ago three of my sewing friends came over to sew.  We worked on a Double Diamond Table Topper.    I think they turned out very nice.  I did not get mine finished yet. So more to come later.  We sewed, laughed and had lunch and dessert to keep our sewing strength up.
