Busy Busy Busy!


I finished my quilt that I did 2  weekends ago with the girls in "Sewknots". 
This picture was taken just before I did the embroidery.
But...Its done. When I hang it I will show you the pictures. 
We have such a fun group its always so fun when we get together!
After this I spent this weekend figuring out my embroidery machine!
All I can say is its a good thing I knew a little about computers.
Putting the the pictures into the computer and then to a thumb drive then to the sewing machine as no fun. But I finally won! And it works like a dream!

WHAT?!?!!!


This is me this week! 
My stitching husband is so far ahead of me it isn't funny. 
I have at least 10 new patterns that he has stitched for me, but I don't have them in pattern form yet.
So look at the picture above and that is me when I walk in the house and he is done with another one!
I thought if I drew a fluffy duck it would take him longer but nooooo....


I keep showing you the new stitcheries and the patterns will follow I promise.
But got to go my Husband needs more to stitch!

My Turn on "It's For the Birds" Hop




Thanks again to Mary and Samm for all the hard work that goes into hosting a blog hop.
I love doing these and seeing what all the girls come up with.
Well...I bet you are so surprised to see a dish towel.....
hahahahaha... I love dish towels!


I couldn't decide just what to do...
I was going to do an applique...
Then....I was going to do paper piecing....
But you know when it cam right down to it ...
I had to do a stitchery....


I love to do pretty dish towels.



And its so fun to crochet around the edges. Its such a nice touch. On dish towels it is so easy.
I just push the hook thru the flour sack and single crochet all the way around the edge. Change color and single crochet again all the way around. No I don't turn. Then chain 4 and single crochet in every other single crochet. See Easy!

Now for the fun part...the Giveaway!
Everyone who adds me to there blog roll and leaves a comment will get a free stitchery pattern.
That's easy too!
Oh but there is a catch .....
you can only do this until midnight may 15th 2013 then the offer flys away.

Ta Da Half Square Triangles


I bought several packages a few years ago and never did try these....
Why....who know ....
maybe they were for one of many collections.
Anywho  I decided to pull then out and give them a whirl.
Oh my gosh I love them....
You use them with fat quarters and thats the perfect size because it makes them very easy to manage. I will show you my quilt  later ...I just had to post about how cool this product is. And it was easy and fun.
I did go and order more because they were so easy to use.
When trying to decide what pattern to put them in I did get better results from google images than their website. SO I guess I would say that was my only complaint....oh and if they were smart they would do a few "Free " patterns on their website that would probably help the sale of their product.
