summer breeze


Summer breeze
makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind......

July is dressed up and playing her tune..... and I am going to take a break and get ready
for my trip to South Africa.  I will return to blogging in the middle of August.  I 'll still
be sewing, and quilting a few more baby quilts to take along on my trip.  I just
need to take a little blogging break for now.

There will be so much to tell you, and pictures to show when I get back!
Enjoy whatever season you are in at the moment and
I will be back soon : )

show off friday~~~simply solids


Show Off Friday

I have had a nice relaxing week after the exciting wedding.  I had a chance to sew one evening and
I chose to play with solid fabrics and my Accuquilt Go!Baby fabric cutter.

The more I work with solids, the more I love working with solids : )
The first one is a 12.5 inch quilt block using the tumbler die.


This is a picture of a mini quilt that I have started using my triangle die.


I haven't decided what to do next with this mini, but I plan to work on it this week-end.

Now it is your turn to link up something~~~~ what do you have for

Show Off Friday

There are no rules for this link up party....this is just the place to show off projects you are working on!

We had a wonderful weekend....the wedding was beautiful, and oh so fun!
This is a picture of my daughter before the wedding.  She remained calm and relaxed, and
I am so happy for her as she begins her new life with her husband : )

As you might expect,
I have nothing to show you today, but I am hoping to see some fun projects from 
many of you!

show off friday~~~ finished lingerie bags


Show Off Friday
Whew!  After all the planning, it is finally time for the wedding : )
I wanted to show the finished lingerie bags and then I have got to run!

They measure 10 X 15 inches.  The pattern is my original, but it is
nothing special.  I do think they will be practical.  I made two compartments
so the lingerie can be separated however the girls wish.   I imagine they
will come in handy when the girls travel.

The outside is linen, and the inside is polyester satin.

Well, like I said , I better go....I need to get some sleep before the festivities begin tomorrow!
We have pedicures planned, and then the rehearsal dinner in the evening......fun stuff.
Oh, I am excited.

show off friday~~~embroidery


Show Off Friday
I have been busy getting things ready for my daughter's wedding next week!  There are still a few 
gifts to make, and lots of last minute details.  I am embroidering these cute corsets on some lingerie bags that I am making for the bridal party.  When I saw this corset pattern on
Pinterest, I knew it was exactly the design that I should use.



I didn't use all the pattern details on these, but I still think they are going to
end up being pretty cute : )
