Tea Towel

Rhonda at Ravelly1 had a give away to kick off her Tea Time Teapot BOM. I was so pleased to win the towel, I just love it.

If you are interested in the Tea Time Teapot BOM, August was the first month so you have time to get that one done before September's block.

Happy quilting!

Chick + Rabbit = Chabbit

How about a chabbit towel?

Happy stitching!

More towels

I did some more towels, some bath and some kitchen.

 

Have fun!

Shopping

Nice little shopping trip yesterday. Oh and it was a beautiful sunny day.

 

6 tea towels, 6 hand towels that I will embroidery on. Cotton for dish cloths, sticky stabilizer to use with the fluffy hand towels, regular stabilizer, potpourii and a basket that I had to have.

Where am I today? I'm sewing, cutting, stuffing and embroidering. 

Happy stitching!

Sewing kinda

Sunday night I could hardly sleep because Monday was finally sewing day. I was making all these plans on the things I was going to work. I rushed around Monday morning picking up, cooking breakfast, getting dressed and then the phone rang. I should have just let it go to voicemail. Whoever said "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" is full of pooey. My day was ruined. Everything I needed to sew with wasn't where I thought it was. I didn't break one needle I broke 3. I sat and cried looking at my embroidery machine for a bit and I said loudly "I will sew and the rest of the world can jump off a cliff."

Well this certainly isn't the prettiest thing I've ever made but I FINALLY got to sew. You can see on one of the strawberries I clipped to closely so I have to figure out how to sew it down.

Tuesday was a wonderful sewing day and I can't wait to get to continue working on it.

As you read this I'm on a little road trip to see my mom, she just isn't getting over breaking her ribs very well at all.

Happy Wednesday!

Etsy, artfire and the economy

I have always said I would never have an Etsy store as I have never cared for Etsy. However, with the economy the way it is currently and my husband getting laid off and being unable to find a job, our financial situation is in a downward spiral.

By now I'm sure you are saying "Why is she telling us this?" Well, because I wanted to show you some of the items I have been making for my etsy store.

I hope to have some tea towels applique'd and uploaded soon. I will post pics of the tea towels then after that I will be posting about them on my quilting blog.

I am also making reusable nursing pads but my daughter's friends are buying those pretty fast.

I've also made several can cozies. The cozies work up fast and I think they are pretty cute.

If you have any ideas of items that I could make to sell, please let me know.
