WOW July 15, 2014

I finished the make-up bag for my mother and she really liked the way it turned out. 

 I have been meaning to share these two blocks I made.   It’s a block exchange I’m involved in at the end of the year I will receive 12 more blocks made for me.

Sunday I went hiking with my husband, son and nephew.  It was a beautiful day we had lots of fun.

WOW – July 9, 2014

This has been a very busy week I managed to get a little sewing done.  I finished the embroidery on the front of the bag I’m making and I hand quilted it.  This is the first time I have ever hand quilted it’s a lot harder than it looks.   I pieced the back of the bag and machine quilted it.  Now I can start the construction of the little make-up bag. 

Hope you all have a great week our weather is wonderful right now so what more could I ask for.

WOW – July 2, 2014

The weather in Seattle has been wonderful the last few days, and the forecast looks great for the next week as well.  My husband took the top of our Jeep so we will be flying topless for a while.

I have been doing quite a bit of sewing the last few weeks. I started this quilt in December and pieced the first six blocks out of 20 and then it sat.  I decided I should put some work in on it.  I finished all 20 blocks and now I have to do the sashing.  Maybe I will finish this before the end of the year.

I made a bunch of make-up bags last month and my mom expressed her desire to have one so I just started this special one for her.  I still have some more stitching to do before I can start the construction of the bag.  I think she will like this.

Hope everyone in the States has a wonderful 4th of July.
