Autumn Cellphone Pouch - Stitching Complete

First, I know you've all seen hand-dyed ribbons before but they're just so yummy, I wanted you show you my latest batch:



Looking at the photo, I just realized that I didn't do any orange this time. I guess I didn't think about it because I don't use a lot of orange in my stitching. It's nice to have on hand though, so I'll do some orange next time around.

I finished the stitching on my Autumn Cellphone Pouch last night:



I'll put it together over the weekend and get it ready to send to Margaret.

For today, I'll be sewing up a storm! One of my favorite things to do is to just sew up blocks. I really enjoy foundation piecing and playing with all my fabric! Now if I could only stitch them as fast as I can sew them up!

More tomorrow.....

Vintage Crocheted Doily Pattern

This pattern is from a magazine called, "The Farm Journel". It isn't dated, but judging from the advertisements on the back, I'd say it was from the 1940's:



Again, I scanned this at 300 dpi so it should be easy to read. Just click on the image to go to my Flickr site where you can download the larger version.

Autumn Cellphone Pouch

I had hoped to finish this last night but unfortunately, we have to eat! I stopped to make a big salad for dinner and just never got back to it. But I do expect to complete this today:



I'll be doing some serious sewing this weekend so I'll have loads of things to share with you!

Antique Crochet Pattern

This antique pattern is from an old newspaper. I believe the paper was called,
"The Ohio Farmer":



I scanned it at 300 dpi so click on the image to go to my Flickr site where you can download the large image.

Enjoy!

Peach Comfort Kitty Doll

These stitch up so quickly:



I stitched this kitty in about 3 hours! I added a spider and web to this one. The Victorians considered spiders to mean "good luck" so I thought it would be a nice touch on a Comfort Doll.

I'll sew these last 2 kitty dolls up over the weekend.

In the meantime, my next little project will be this Autumn themed cellphone pouch for my mother in law, Margaret:



I bought the little pumpkin pin in Kentucky. Margaret really puts her cellphone pouches to good use so I'll pin it on and sew it on to make sure it's good and secure.
