Another Puffy Pouch.....

I just love making these little pouches for gifts!  My niece is graduating from 8th grade this year and will be attending a charter school.  She also made varsity cheerleading so I wanted to make this one using the school colors.  Hope she likes it!!

Sewing Room Pics for Etsy Conversation




Yes, it is a bit messy!  But I know where everything is! I have TONS of fabric, but still I am always looking for more. The pic of the closet only shows about 1/2 of it and the pic of the drawers shows just  3, I keep little scraps all color coordinated for easy finds.

My Newest Jar on Etsy - quilted heart....


A fellow Etsy seller sent me this quilted heart that she cut out of an old quilt.  I just loved it and had to make something special with it so I hand quilted it onto a quilted cover for an upcycled jar and I think it came out so cute!  Click on the link below for more pics and specifics.  Thanks so checking it out!

My Goodwill Find.......


I was looking around Goodwill yesterday for some shirts to turn into skirts (will post those pics depending on how they come out!) and found this beautiful quilt. I thought I would cut it up and make pillows since it had some light stains. However after 2 washings it came out nice and clean!
 It is only a twin, but looks nice laid across the queen size bed in the guest room and perfect for summer! 

 The tag says it is from Lands End so I imagine it was pretty expensive originally, but I only paid $8.00!
