Some of my sewing

Rate this Entry
Goodmorning:) So here are a couple pictures of some of the sewing I've been working so hard on. The first is of the placemats that I made for my Aunt. I just finished them last evening, and I'll be mailing them out today. I managed to finish them just in time to get them to her for Thanksgiving. The second picture is just a close up of the embroidered roosters on them.

This next picture is one of the quilt blocks that I'm making for my daughter's quilt. There will be 20 in all, and they are all banded by a really deep purple. It's hard to tell, but that is the fabric it is sitting on.

Finally, this isn't my handiwork. It is actually my husband's, but I wanted to put it up anyway. It is a little hard to tell the color, but it is deepblue with tiny golden lines running through it. If you know what lapis (the stone) looks like, then you know the color that the pen is. My husband hand turned it in his woodshop for me to use in writing and whatever else I want.

That is it from me for the moment. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    Wonderful! I don't know what I like better. I hope you post a pic of the quilt you make from the block.

    These were lovely. In her prime my motherwas pretty good at that sort of thing but never passed the gift along to my sister. My dad was very good at woodwork too but I know he couldn't have done the pen.

    Your sewing is totally gorgeous, you are a girl of many talents, Meg. And that beautiful pen made my eyes go ga-ga (you see I have this thing about rocks, stones and minerals) -- you are blessed with a lot of talent in your life! Cheers, Kizzo
