June Catch Up

At the retreat last fall, Sew'n Wild Oaks had kits for these table mats.  I couldn't pass this one up for my friends roostery kitchen.  It was fun and fast to make. 

With leftover fabric and blocks from the black and white quilt, I sewed up this little table runner.  I still have leftovers I'm playing with.  More later...

And from Confessions of a Fabric Addict...not only are we blessed with the good feeling of creating and giving during the Hands2Help event...there are sponsored gifts.  I was treated to this bundle of fat quarters. Beautiful fabric and colors!  Thank you, Sarah and thank you to the kind sponsors cheering us on!

In the sewing room, I've been working on my Lil' Orphan Scrappy.  I finally have all the blocks sewn and am trimming them up.  I'm hoping to get it sewn together this week.  Here is my Marianne, assistant to the stars ✸

June Starts

I'm trying to work in more sewing this month so I'm starting with my Lil' Orphan Scrappy blocks. My fabric choices are looking a bit bright and ...pink but as I'm adding an edging of darker blocks I'm hoping it balances out.

Marianne is helping me.

I won a giveaway from Okan Arts. This is such a beautiful gift to receive.  The fabrics and thread are just lovely.  Thank you, Patricia Belyea!

We had birthdays here last month.  Luke turned 6 and Sammy is now 14 years old.  We celebrated with treats and trips to the beach.
