KITCHEN TOWEL

Donna made me this kitchen towel from an Anita Goodesign pattern.  I have it hanging on my refrigerator.

SEWING MACHINE COVER

This is the sewing machine cover that I embroidered for Donna.  I also made one for our neighbor, Marge.

SISTERS EMBROIDERING

On Friday April 26th, Debbie surprised me and came over to spend some time with me.  Debbie is working on the Noah's Ark activity play mat. She came over to get some advice and to work on it.  Donna is also working on that.  I am doing the Noah's Ark wall hanging. it is taking me quite a bit of time for each square because there are so many appliqués and so much embroidering.  I am enjoying making it and looking forward to when it is done.

PROJECTS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON

These are a few of the book club markers that I made.  I made one for each of the ladies in the Book Club.  Donna will be taking them to Book Club in April.

Today is the first day of Spring.  I am so happy to see the warmer weather.  The first part of this week had record breaking temperatures in Seattle and even here in Sequim.  It is pretty early for a lot of hot days but I am thankful for the ones we have.

Right now I have been making sewing machine covers.  I have all the squares made for Donna's machine.  Our neighbor, Marge really wanted one. I told her I would be happy to make her one.  The one for her machine has smaller squares than Donna's.  No matter the size, they take 19 squares.  The smaller squares go a little faster. I have 13 squares done already for Marge's.  I will put pictures on when the squares get sown together.

FEBRUARY SNOW STORM TO REMEMBER

First snowfall on February 3rd

We got about three inches.  Little did I know how much more we were going to get.

Picture I took through the window in the sewing room on the 9th.  My car is still in the driveway but you cannot see it because it is completely covered with snow.

This is a picture of the back yard on the 9th. We had almost two feet of snow. The bottom picture is my car on the 8th.

Snow fall on February 8th and 9th

SAYINGS

Anita Goodesign had some really cute sayings pertaining to sewing.  I made this one for Donna while she and Leif were on their cruise. I gave it to her for Christmas. She loved that saying. Donna has it hanging in our sewing room.  I ended up making three more of this saying for some women in our ward. Anyone who sews can relate to this.

I Also did three more pin cushions for a lady in our ward. Also I made one for Marge, our next door neighbor.  She was so thrilled with it. She said the only pin cushion she had was a wrist one.

ADVENT CALENDAR

Donna and Leif hung up the advent calendar I made for part of the Christmas decorations . We got compliments on it.
