2nd Annual BLOG PARTY to Share Your Creative Space

WELCOME to The Party

It's exciting to know we will be visiting blogs from all over the world ~

being a fly on the wall in that most sacred creative space we all share ~

our studio,sewing room,kitchen table ~ wherever the beauty happens for you!

Be it Big or Small, it's special and it's Ours!

I had big plans to do a redo on mine before the party but it was too nice outside

unfortunately I never found the time.

 The mascot of my space is Teddi.

You will see him in almost every picture somewhere ~ the tapestry chair in the photo belonged to Jake

who just passed away this April.

I had a red metal love seat that matched the room much better but replaced it with the chair for Jake so he would be more comfortable and I don't have the heart to change it for now.

The red magazine rack was just $10.00 and holds my most loved books and magazines for inspiration.

Storage Places

Wicker baskets with supplies project ready,

 threads for machine embroidery,

dowel rods glues to a wood block for ribbon, 

a red Chanel box filled with vintage pearl buttons,

a closet cubbie with stacks of fabric,

 box of thread for crazy quilting,

plastic bin of velvet ribbon from my Aunt Gert's hat making business in Chicago,

silk ribbon stored in a barbers glass,

my 4 favorite trays to use when beading.

What Do I Create ?

Like most of you ~ 90% of what I make I give away.

Most times for me ~ I feel the Lord inspire me to create something for someone and often it

is someone I don't really know. I love that ~ am thankful that He trust me to touch that person.

He has also sent people along the way that have done the same for me ~

Pat Winter has been one of those people.

Her work decorates many areas of my home ~

to the left of my threads above you will see 4 of her beautiful pouches.

SO what do I create?

Crazy Quilting, sewing and machine embroidery are my favorites.

I desperately want to learn soldering ~ I have all the supplies and just can't get the hang of it.

I like mixing machine and hand embroidery.

I made these little purses about 6 years ago. 

What started it all 10 years ago ~ my first crazy quilt ~ still not finished!

The most recent things I have made ~

this lavender heart last week for a special couple.......

and this Mini wall quilt 2 weeks ago for my Aunt Shirley.

And here is a sampling of my unfinished crazy quilted items ~

All my work in between is posted somewhere on my blog but you don't have time for that ~

There is a long list of blogs to visit from all over the world so get going!!!!!!

And Thanks for Stopping By!!!!

Love you Lots ~

Come Back Soon!!!
