Vintage is the Best

 

I am working on my kitchen and I think this will be perfect for the pantry door. I brought it home today. A good sanding, a coat of paint and a vintage door knob and it will be ready to hang.

I think a lace curtain and some kind of French Bakery vinyl and it will be perfect!

You'll have to stop by again and see how it turns out!

Trying a New Pattern

I love trying new patterns!

And Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt Company always has the best ideas.

This is her Spiderweb Quilt with the wacky template.

I loved making this one.

You can see how to do it on her YouTube channel.

Or just search Spiderweb Quilt using Wacky Template.

I will suggest after making each block to pull the paper off then. I waited until I had it all sewn together and it took forever!

Even Norris loves this quilt!

Off to quilt it now!

Silhouette Fun!

This was the door in my sewing room in Salt lake....

I love this saying and now that my kids gave me a silhouette cameo for Christmas I can do this to my door in Washington!

I loved my sewing room in SLC and it was hard to leave it. But my husband made me one here that I love just as much. He is also working on a studio for me so I have more room and I can't wait!!!

I am sure the silhouette will be getting lots of use out there.

 

 

This is my sewing room now....

 

 

Decorations....

 

 

This was when we were first setting it up.....

I wish it was still that clean....lol

 

 

my quilt machine fits but its a tight fit...lol

can't wait for the studio....

 

I love my ironing board!

 

 

I love Hollyhocks!

 

I love Hollyhocks and I plant them every year and the deer keep eating them...

or maybe its the chickens....

I took this picture a few years ago as my inspiration picture and it just makes me want to grow them more....

Comforts of Home

 

I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have my design wall covered with all the squares I have done so far.

Doesn't it make you just want to slip off your shoes

and climb into that chair.

 

This is one of my favs....

Opps I say that after I finish each one.

 

This quilt had been so fun to work on.

Who doesn't love sitting by a warm fire.

Saying that are so true are the best!

I have the best stitching husband ever!!!

Making this quilt and having my husband stitch it has been

The most fun.

Keep looking there are so many more.....

See best stitching ever!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These blocks are so fun to do.

I can't wait to get this one finished.

Quilting

I have been working on finishing up UFO's and I am so glad I am.

I love this quilt I am working on, its called Comforts of Home by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet.

Its an applique quilt and it has been so fun to work on.

When I do these quilts I really enjoy them because my husband is my stitcher and so we work on them together! It is so fun to see them once he adds the stitch work.

These are just a few of the squares  you can see all of the ones I have done 

on my instagram account.

Every time we finish one I tell Kelly "That s my favorite one".

But I think when I am done it WILL be my favorite quilt ....

until I start the next one.

Lori has so many fun applique quilts it is hard to decide which is my favorite.

I loved playing this game as a kid so stitching it made me think of all the fun times I had with friends and family.

I can't wait to finish this one!

Stitch It Up

I thought I would share one of my favorite pieces my husband stitched.

When we were looking for houses and decided to put an offer on the one we bought, my husband started this before the couple even accepted our offer.

He knew this was the place for us!

So our house number is in the bottom left corner.

I think this is one of my all time favorites!

Oh and the quilts he did the stitching on too!

This is where it hangs.

Love that stitcher of mine!
