From March 2019
So 7 years ago when a new grand baby was due, I started sewing again after a few years hiatus. I used to make a lot of my clothes from Junior High on up and then my daughters toddler clothes and several home projects.
So for grand #3 I made bibs, burp clothes, and receiving blankets and enjoyed it so much I bought a new sewing machine. (My Elna from Junior High days was frozen from lack of use, couldn't be repaired, too bad, it was a quality Swiss made machine)
I started making a few shopping totes and then made a few with vintage lace, trims and linens and also added the same to aprons. Quilted bibs came next, zippered pouches, eyeglass cases, journals, needlebooks and checkbook covers.
I got so much of my inspiration from following sewing blogs and Instagram feeds that I finally succumbed to the quilt making realm.
Just a sampling of fun projects the last few years.

My pincushion with tiny patches chosen for my garden love, sewing love, my initial in the center and a chick for our chickens.
