Scissor & Thread Holder

I found this wood scissor and thread holder at the thrift store for $1.00. It was a bit unkept but I knew it had potential. I painted it and fixed one of the broken dowels so I could put my bobbins on it as well as spools of thread. I decoupaged a sewing picture on the top, and ta-dah, just like new. This will look just peachy in my classroom.

Quilt Top Beauty

This quilt top has been in my closet for about 25 years. I bought it at a quilt show in Wyoming. I thought it was the second prettiest quilt top I had ever seen. One day I will blog about the prettiest quilt I have ever seen. Anyway, I took it out and decided I now have the patients to finish it. Someday, when I have my "big girl's camper", I will put it on the bed. I am going to quilt it by hand, and I will post a picture when I'm done. Let's hope that is not in another 25 years!

Yarn Bomb Lounge Chair

I am having a horrible time with photobucket. I can't get my pictures down to a decent size so please be patient with me. This picture doesn't do this chair justice! I am having so much fun working on different sized chairs. This one is so comfortable!

Stitched Top Cigar Box

I took a wood cigar box, and added some paint to the outside. Then I took some bits of fabric that I had sewn together and hot glued it to the top of the box. I made a pocket to hold a little journal on the inside lid, then filled it with art supplies. This was a little gift for one of my student's that helps me everyday without my asking.

Sewing Keeper

This little felt keeper was made with a pattern from BHG. It is simple, pretty and can be made in an hour. My kind of craft!

Pieces of Old

I found the cutest cabinet and I bought it. I painted it white and I am going to line the back of the shelves with these antique quilt blocks. I can't hardly wait until it's finished!

In the Round

Just a quick post today. I am going to make round placemats with these hand-pieced circles.
