There has not been a lot of sewing lately, but a few things have been accomplished.
I am doing another row quilt with some local friends. My theme is, "Summer in a Small Town". For my row the following town buildings have been built: Church, Quilt Shop, Bake Shop, Dress Shop, and a house.
I have made a small start on my friend Angie's row quilt. She is asking for houses. Her blocks were all made from Lori Holt fabrics, so I am using ones from my stash. I am trying to make a little row of houses that are scaled down quite small. That is easy to do with paper piecing. You can see the one little house I built next to a much larger fish block. It really shows how small that house block is.
Two of my grand children chose to be baptized, and I was asked to make them each a scripture bag.
Well I think you have been busy. The bags are perfect and I love your little houses. xx

Those houses are very detailed. Well done and the bags are a lovely baptism gift.
ReplyDeleteYour row quilt looks like it will be amazing and I love those bags
ReplyDeleteOh I do love those shops/houses. You go to so much trouble decorating them with the coolest fabrics. The dresses/cakes and quilt fabrics. They are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter looks beautiful
Your row quilt houses are simply delightful and I am in awe of those beautiful scripture cases for your grandchildren. Did you use a pattern to make them? I remember being frustrated when I was shopping for bible covers with handles and pockets for my kids years ago and couldn't find anything near so nice or as personal. I ended up with plain canvas mass produced versions that I personalized by embroidering their names on the handles with my sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteYour houses are really cute. Those bags are also pretty cool and you granddaughter looks lovely.
