Being Creative

                                                   Creative Sewing      

 
Sometimes  it's  easy to be  creative  ...other  times  it;s  like pulling  teeth...you can't  sew  a  straight  seam....this  past week  I have  been  on a  roll....some  red  fabric and   creative   juices and  you can do all  your  projects  in a  easy manner....this  week I did  a  few  fabric  baskets  and   more  fabric  baskets.
 

 Marilyn  Panel  From The Fat Quarter  Shop

Love  the  panels  ....a  lot  of  sewing for  the  money spent....$7.00  and  a  lot  of  baskets  or  purses  or  quilts ....on and  on.

A Quilt & Some Quick Projects

                                              Christmas  Pin Cushion

                                                       Great buys  on  Christmas fabric  now...I love  this new  fabric panel I got at the  "Fat Quarter Shop"
                                      
                                     I will add the decorative stitched  ribbon  on the  next one  I do.  


                                                       

                                                         
 
                                                         


                                               A  Baby Quilt  I am  trying  to make....a  little  harder  than I thought...it's  hard  for me to handle  and  keeping  the  stitches  straight  seems  to be a  problem !!  I love the  colors  on this  jelly roll....oranges and  greens and  cremes.

                                                            
 
                                                     Chickens  .....still making  a  few  chickens  once in a  while....pin cushions  for my gift box.......they  are  so much fun  to make  and  everyone  loves them.

Sewing Table Runners

                                               Table Runners

 
I finally finished  these  two  runners....I made the  brown one sometime  last year - I need  to go in my basket and  finish  some  of  these  projects ...after all it's only 11  months  til Christmas....I really like  to make  things  and  put them in my holiday basket - I gave  so many things  away this  Christmas....
I'm  on a  jelly roll  "roll" ...so hung up on jelly rolls....this  is a  runner  that  has   two different  sides  that  I can use differently....a  holiday side and  a  regular  side  is  good  to make.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sock Snowman
Tried my hand  at the sock snowman....I love snowmen and  now is  a  good time  to make  some  !!!
