Fun at the Fair

                                                  

We had so much fun at the fair.

This quilt won a blue ribbon, best of class and Peoples choice!

The pattern is called Comforts of Home by Bee in My Bonnet.

                                         

This one won a blue ribbon! 

This is one of Lori Holt's patterns called Remember Grandma' Apron.

                             

This was one of my favorites to make. And it won't a blue ribbon too!

This was from one of Jenny Doan's tutorials on YouTube under Missouri Quilt Company.

                                                 

This is anyone one from Jenny' tutorials. And it got a blue ribbon too!

                                                 

Another Bee in my Bonnet pattern from Lori's calendar, and a blue ribbon winner too!

                                             

But I do have to say the fun on of the fair was my grandson Jackson winning a blue ribbon for the cookies he made all by himself! He was so excited.

Making A Vintage Pincushion

 

I just love Pincushions and making them from vintage pieces is one of my favorite things to do. My Daughter found several of these Milk glass candy dishes and brought them to me. I love how they can hold scissors and stitch pickers. So I decided they need to become pincushions.

 

I just sewed a few hexies together and stuffed it with walnut shells, lavender and batting.

And no pincushion is complete without a bit of bling.

Now I am thinking I maybe will give this one to a friend.

but which one....

 

 

 

These a few of my other pieces I just love!

The girl planter is perfect for pencils, rulers, scissors etc!
