Quilting

Yesterday was a perfect day to quilt! The high was 75, so I opened all the windows, kicked off my shoes and enjoyed the breeze as my sewing machine hummed along.  We went with purple binding to match the center embroidered, Judy Moody patch. I really enjoyed quilting. I have so much respect for the art. I would love to attend a quilt show. Might have to see the quilt show at the State Fair this year. Do you quilt? What are some of your favorite blocks or  designs?

Char's Beads 4 U

I love ordering from different Etsy shops. I have never had an issue with any of them and people there are so nice to work with. Recently, I ordered from a shop called Char's Beads 4 U . She had 1.5" swivel hooks, I needed for making lanyards. Lanyard Tutorial available here . I placed the order and waited for the mail. Then in the mail I received this! A beautiful bag with swivel hooks and something else. When I opened the bag up I found... a smaller second bag and a musical note zipper pull charm! When I opened the second bag I found... These beautiful musical note earrings! I love them! I am a music teacher too, so these will be perfect on the first day of school!  If you need any beads, zipper pulls, charms or swivel hooks please visit Char's Beads 4 U.  She has a wonderful Etsy shop. This was one of the best experiences I have had on Etsy yet.

Sew Spoiled Quilting

I started to make a small throw quilt for my daughters. We love to read together and I thought this could be our reading quilt. It is still warm here in the Carolinas but we used these summer months to gather quilt blocks and sew it together.  All of these blocks are little memories for us. Of course the Judy Moody embroidery block is in the center. Here we are sewing the topper together.  Placing the topper onto the batting and backing material we measured out what we needed. The fun part, quilting all three pieces together. The girls enjoyed this part the most. We haven't started on the binding yet. Can't wait to share more. Happy Sewing,
