Purple Roses

I finished up stitching my Eagle Door Hanger yesterday:

It's very colorful and very Patriotic!

I started a new piece with a purple rose:

The rose is from a vintage handkerchief.  I love the soft colors on this one!  I'll do some stitching on this later today.

I have some new door pillows that mom made so I'll start adding them to the shop today and post photos tomorrow.

My plans for the week are to sew up my 4th of July hanging pillows and to sew some new blocks since I'm down to just one or two in my stitching basket. 

Today is opening day at Wilmot Flea Market in Wilmot, Illinois.  I'm going to straighten up and then Scott and I head up there to walk around for a little while.  Maybe I'll find some goodies!

Stars And Stripes

Not feeling well this morning so I'll just post an update on my current Patriotic door hanger:

When I finish this one up, I'll be getting back to some pretty flowers.  Have a nice day everyone!

Crazy Quilt Eagle

I started one more Patriotic door hanger.  This one has a vintage image of an eagle with the American flag:

I'm going to work on this now for an hour or so before I head over to mom's for some coffee.

Beaded Scissor Fob

I have loads to share with you today!  First, Kathi made a pretty beaded scissor fob:

If you're anything like me, you need this!  I'm forever putting my little embroidery scissor down and then I can't find it!  This is a nice large scissor fob with a big clasp!

I also added 2 more of my crazy quilt door hangers to the shops:

We're also on Etsy!

 I started a 3rd Patriotic door hanger yesterday and will have a photo of that tomorrow.

Also, the latest Shabby Lane Shops magazine is now available:

The Spring/Summer issue can be found at Barnes and Noble, Bookworld, Hancock Fabrics or at Shabby Lane Shops website.

Finally for today, if you're interested in my Elegant Crazy Quilt Seam Treatments, you can take a class!

Visit Maureens Vintage Acquisitions to sign up for my Waste Canvas class!

And if you need crazy quilt fabrics, I have that too!

Okay, it's time for me to straighten up and get to the grocery store!  Have a great day everyone!

Red, White and Blue Stitching

My latest red, white and blue crazy quilt project is completed and ready for assembly:

Little Betsy Ross looks quite content stitching on her American flag!  I have one more patriotic piece that I'm going to do and then I can sew them all up into hanging ornaments.

In other news, I added some new earrings by Kathi to the shops:

Pretty pink enamel flowers dangle from very comfortable to wear, sterling silver leverbacks!  Kathi thought these would make nice Mothers Day gifts!

In other news, and this is big!  Allison Aller's beautiful lost crazy quilt has been found!  It was MIA for over a year and now it's safe and sound, back in Allie's home.  Hop on over to her blog to see it!
