my very own happy blanket....inspired by a trip to Pass A Grille Florida...and thanks to lucy at attic 24...I had the perfect pattern...which I tweaked just a little...the pillow cover was inspired by the lavendarwildrose blogspot...I absolutely love how my prairie point pillow cases turned out...leftovers from making the quilt....oh what joy sewing/crafting/needlework brings to my heart... Speaking of Pass A Grille...it has given me LOTS of inspiration here is another piece I made after visiting there the first time which was such fun to make...it was one of those projects that told me what to do...I knew which background fabrics I wanted to use, cut out the sand dollar and birds free hand and then just started stitching the details of the sand dollar with small chain stitches and colonial knots... it hangs in my beachy themed bathroom
Here are a few pics of my things for sale at earlywork mercantile...forgive me as I am still learning how to take good pics...so my lighting and staging is not yet what it should be...
a button/buton box using a pattern found in the Summer 2014 issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects
designed by Liezbeth Gottschall of Thistles....thank you Liezbeth for such a beautiful design...
Honeycomb was designed by me..I love to use Bible verses or inspirational quotes...and there is something about a little counted cross stitch mingled with a little bit of wool....I also love the primitive irregularity of stitching on osnaburg...I like the affordability as well...
Next are two needle cases/sewing kits that I created...all hand stitched...I used some vintage quilt blocks my great grandmother left for me...I think these would make great gifts for young girls going off to college...include some small scissors, needles, pins, safety pins, buttons and a variety of threads so they can do a little mending in a pinch...
Hope you all have a great day and Blessings to you all!
