Embroidery Find

Thinking I was getting a deal on a table cloth, I snatched this beautifully embroidered piece without opening it. Little did I know, it was a hand embroidered top or summer coverlet that looks to be in perfect condition. What a fun find!

Farmer's Wife

Yay! Mr. Fabulous watched the kids & helped with dinner 

so I could have a bit of time in the sewing room.

One done and it feels great.

I've been missing the colorful Kaffe fabrics, the FWQAL blocks

{and playing in polka dots, too}.

Happy Stitching,

Treasure, Aye Matey!

I found a locked box at a garage sale and had to open it up and find out what was inside.

Once I did, I clutched the box and couldn't wait to bring it home. 

Can I just say I love wooden spools? I'm not sure where my fascination came from but they're so much cooler than plastic. It's so nice to add a few to my little stash. 

Thimbles?? Seriously...is there such a thing as too many? 

I love all sizes, ones I'll never use, metal, plastic, themed or not. 

The new additions have me completely giddy.

Vintage needle cases, too?? A box of goodness on a slow sewing week is just the boost I need to get back to my projects. 

 Now if only I'd have purchased her iron collection.... 

Hexi Love

Long before I started blogging, there were a couple projects that I started. 

I even finished a couple....but not my favorite one.

Sorting this weekend found me nostalgic for my very first pieced project, 

a grandmother's flower garden.

It could have a bit to do with the 

HEXALONG at Lily's Quilts

{or, it could just be that I am trying to avoid my Jane}.

Ok. Maybe both.

Modern FWQAL

I've been having a blast with the modern selections from Sew Fresh Fabrics. 

I have Kaffe fabrics selected, too....wishing there were more hours in the day.
