The jacket collar is done. Now I just have to finish the facing edges and put in the hem. S will have to put the buttons on her self.

I should have taken a picture of the jacket and skirt. I will tonight.

Now for the kitchen window.



I no longer want anything to sit on the window sill. It looks to cluttered.


I have this cotton mesh type fabric that I thought would be great for the window but I did not have enough of it. Then I remember this printed fabric that is determine to become a apron. It is very lightweight so If it does become an apron it will have terry cloth on the back so it can be reversible.

I love the little woman in the print. My sisters think it is too country looking. I like country looking.



Isnt she cute!



This fabric will be put with the cotton fabric I think it will work. Regardless I will have new curtains in the kitchen.





I think this combination will work just fine.

My discovery!

As a little girl I did not play with dolls, did not play house. I climbed trees and explored how things worked. Tried to make my bike do things it was not meant to do. My mother complain when I was a toddler she would dress me in frilly dresses to play and I would prompty find mud or dirt. My mother and father had a loving relationship but I really did not see my father much. He worked the night shift. I had a close relationship with my mother. She taught me to crochet and make clothes. She kept a beautiful home and was a great cook. I felt that my father did not appreciate her enough so I decided that I would not get married and deal with someone who did not appreciate me. When my mother died it totally crippled my father. I realized just how much he appreciated her. When she first died he would just sit in a chair and just stare for hours. Finally I started talking to him and he revealed just how much he needed her. Then I decided that I should not get married because I wou...

Quilt finished!

I have pictures of the unfinished quilt but I forgot to take pictures of the finish project. Betty and her sisters are planning a anniversary party for their parents and this picture quilt is a present from Betty. I remember her finding the picture putting the images on fabric and getting everything pieced together. This was to be a birthday gift for her mother but when everything was put together it did not look right and she was so disappointed. The block themselves looked find it was the framing of the blocks that threw everything off. The green sashing was sew on all four sides of the blocks and since the blocks were not squared off some the block was not attached to the sashing . Basically the blocks need to be trimmed and squared to size before sashing was added. So as stated in the previous blog I took on the job for my friend. So at 3:00 am I was finally finish. I have it with me at work and as I look at it I am happy with the work I did but I also see where it coul...
