Saturday Sewings

It has been kind of a dreary day, here, in the Foothills of NC...so why not brighten it up a little bit?  :)

Today, I made...

(The appliqued front: "They call me...NANA")

(Patchwork back...)

But let me back up...this bright and cheery little pillow is for a sweet lady that my family and I have recently met.  It is a blessing to see her love for her family and grandchildren.  (Sorry, I can't say her name...it's a surprise!)  I hope she likes it!!!

I love this color combination!

This past week, I weeded my raised-beds...WEEDS ARE GROWING IN JANUARY/FEBRUARY?!!  Where is the snow???  :)  Anyway, we had some warm days this week and it was a great opportunity to weed and start getting the garden ready.  One thing I miss, in the winter, are fresh tomatoes!  Oh, how I crave tomato sandwiches!  :)

(Our tomatoes from this past summer. Yum!)


Hope you have had a wonderfully blessed week!!!


Let us prepare our hearts for worship...



"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD."
Psalm 122:1

Sewing-Baby Skirt


Introducing my most recent project...a baby skirt/diaper cover!!!  :)  Yesterday, I found this pattern and thought it was so cute.  I love making baby clothes...they are so precious and tiny!  This little skirt is size 0-3 months.


I love the attached, contrasting diaper cover...


I am hoping to make a pair of fabric shoes/sandals and a baby headband or hair bow to match!


Hope you have a blessed week!!!





Felt Rosette Wreath

I finally completed my felt rosette wreath!  After much tracing, cutting, pinning, and spacing, I am so pleased with the turnout...a wreath perfect for Christmas or Valentine's Day.

So lovely!

Tracing my circles...

Getting ready to pin!



-The Back-

Another view of the wreath!!!

It took me quite a while to make this...I started in December and have worked on it off and on, since.  I love the texture and fullness.  Simple, yet beautiful!

Many blessings!


P.S. We are still praying for snow!!!  We haven't had anything except a few flurries, but hopefully some will be added to the forecast!
