New Pattern..."Sew she Did"...

This is my new pattern that I've been

working on for the last little while.

It's a project that would be fun to have

 in your sewing room...

After all...sewing does take a

little bit of faith...

And we all need some encouragement

now and then...

Especially when we're trying something new.

Do you ever wonder if what you're making will really turn out the way you have planned?...

Or if your best will be good enough?

Well I do.

I think we all do.

But the very first step you take is

believing that you can...

And the next step is doing it.

"She believed she could...

SEW she did."

This project was "sew" much fun to design, draw and then to applique.

I've always wanted a turquoise sewing machine so that's what I made!

I used assorted red buttons...my trademark ric-rac for the cord...glass beads for

the pins...woolfelt for the pincushion top and I added vintage embroidery scissors

 just for fun!

My List of 6" block Tutorials!!!...

Have you been wondering where I have been?

I still have been working on 6" sampler blocks here and there inbetween everything else that's been going on this summer...

Although for the last couple of weeks...

I havn't been able to even take the

tiny-est peek at them!

I've been working on a new design and

pattern that I will show to you the

first part of next week...

I can't wait for you to see it!

So anyway...

back to sampler blocks.

Do all of the above blocks on

 my design wall look familiar to you?

That's right!....

they're all of the blocks that I

have done tutorials on.

Have you finished all of them?

A big "A+" to ya if you have:)

Above are 3 more blocks that I have used

the easy corner triangle method on too.

Strawberry = Blossom Berries

Stripe = Cherry Fizz

Green Dot = ?

Fabrics used:

Blue = Sew Cherry

Seed Catalog Print = Annie's Farm Stand

Red = Dresden Plates

Fabrics used:

White = Nantucket Summer

Pink = Bubble Gum Basics

Here's what they all look like together

so far...

BTW...I have had several people ask me 

if I would list all of my

6" sampler block tutorials

in the order that I did them,

starting with my

 Mini Design Boards Tute...

so I have listed them at the

bottom of this post...

First Day...

It's the first day of school for my

 Kassidy Grace

today!

I can't believe the summer is

coming to an end....

boohoo.

It's not only the first day of school for Kass...but the first day of 7th grade too.

The 7th graders start a few days earlier so Sterling will start 9th grade on Monday.

Kassidy is now officially in Junior High...she just walked in the doors.

Wow!...I can't believe it. Kass is my youngest...no more Elementary School Days.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Where has the time gone?

And where is my little girl?

I'm having a happy/sad morning:)
