Spread'N the Love ......of Sewing

Here are my 200 6" squares all ready to go. Rolled and wrapped together in 10 little piles. They will be mailed, dispersed to 10 others, and then i will get in return 10 piles of 20 squares of different fabrics!!! This is a collection of sheets + vintage looking fabrics.
I love collecting others fabrics.


Peek at the little sewing kit all put together and ready to go:





Little bag to tote all the goodies around....can't believe how EASY this one was!! might make some more of these babies! Thanks to those Japanese Sewing Books for that pattern.
I am sending the pattern from Black Apple to make a doll + everything she needs to make it. The felt hair, muslin face, a variety of fabric for legs, arms, body....Plus a bunch of buttons for eyes, embelishments, whatever and some lace and ric-rac. Recognize the fabric?! Thanks grandma for that great sheet....waaayyyy cute!




Needle Case to hold all the "pokies":




Pin cushion for all the "pokies" being used at the moment. Sending some cute flower flat heads with it and sewing needles along for the ride. I filled it with crushed walnut shells and look at the center button----hmmmmmm i made it with the little button cover kit i won way back!!! yay!!!




All-in-all I think this turned out cute!! I am excited....wait....Jerika.....is excited to see what kind of kit she gets in the mail :)

Here's to making some one new and young get hooked on sewing !)

p.s.- thanks for the help on the scrappy thing....still thinking....running out of time....hmmm.....

Scrappy Enough??

I need some help/opinion with something.

I had signed up for a scrappy little quilt swap (see side panel)..... i went digging through my drawer with extra/leftover blocks, ect..... and found these 4 blocks.

I sashed them and then thought they were too plain, so i added the ric-rac vine + some leaves and a flower. then thinking everything was a little to bright and stark: see it? too bright huh?! that's what i thought...

I decided to give it a bath in some Tan Rit Dye.

Here it is now:

Much better don't you think?! I do...... But here is what i am having issues with. Is it Scrappy enough? I am getting rid of some blocks and you know whatever.....but it is a scrappy exchange. What do you gals think?! Any opinions?

I will show it off after i get the quilting done on it. Right now it is around 18" square.

So whatcha think?

On a different note. Spent a morning hour ith Grandma. Doing the basics, making boxes, moving others around, labeling like 2 and taking what i would like. :)

So this is what i got:

2 cute sheets, a "lovely" briefcase (she thought i needed that one)---check out the interior of this baby. W-O-W!!

Then i took her jewelry she wasn't taking with her. She is a clip-on earing gal. There are many a sparkly things.....this is great for dress up or playing with.

I also took a stained glass of wheat that she made. I would like to hang it in my window in the kitchen, but it keeps falling off. Need to work on that.

I am currenly working on a sewing kit for a trade too. It is turning out sooooo cute. I will post it when i have finished with everything. I used the pink/yellow flower pattern sheet from grandmas + some vintage buttons. So far i have a pin-cushion, little bag, needle case... i am going to put a few kits to make together....maybe a stuffed animal, x-stitch something with her name... any other suggestions?

Back to the opinion.

Yes?

No?

Maybe So?

Let me Know!
