Some New Projects

I've been stitching, just not blogging much!  As Summer winds down, which it already is, I'll be online more often.  It's been a cool Summer here temp-wise so I spend a lot of time out on the deck, enjoying the birds and the breeze!

I finished this door hanger piece yesterday morning:

I'm planning on a sewing day either tomorrow or Wednesday so I'll get this sewn up and share another picture of it when it's done.

In the meantime, I pulled some lace and trim pieces for this block:

I think I'll take this out on the deck and start stitching on it.

In other news, as a reminder, the 2015 Crazy Quilt Calendar will be available on September 1st!  That's only a couple of weeks away!!!!

Finally, I will be getting back to working on my list of Crazy Quilt Resources.  If you have any links that you would like me to add to the list, please leave me a comment.

New Crazy Quilt Projects

I have a few new Crazy Quilt projects to share today.  One is started and the other is my next project.  First, a door hanger:

This is a special order which I usually don't accept but because the theme was birds and it's door hanger, I didn't mind doing this one.  I expect to finish this up today so I'll post another photo when I have it done. 

My next project will be a purse in shades of blue.  I don't work a lot in the darker shades of blue and I'm not sure why.  I guess I go for the pastel colors of pinks, greens and purples:

I think it'll be fun to work with this color palette for a change.  As I mentioned, this will be a purse.  I'm also working on some more little needle felted brooches.  So stop back to see where my latest projects go!

In other news, Mom gave me a few new things to add to our Etsy shop.  These are her St Patricks Day Door Hangers:

Finally for today, I have a new photo of my beautiful Lucy.  She was laying on my treadle sewing machine and I had the camera right there so I was able to grab it get a nice picture of her:

Isn't she pretty?  Lucy is 15 now.  Geez, where does the time with them go?  She has the early signs of kidney disease but we had her to vet on Saturday for tests and the special diet is working.  Her kidney numbers are in the normal range now.  Thank goodness!  She's tolerating the babies a little better.  There isn't too much pounding going on anymore but she has gotten really good at hissing at them.  Especially Cottonball because he tends to push her buttons!
