Beautiful pictures of home & Kick Ass sewing room

Summer has been so hot as of today we have had 26 days above 90 degrees, last year we had 6, I'm so lucky because my sewing room is in my basement and with the air conditioner on the cool air sinks to the basement and I'm in 7th quilters heaven.  Just loaded a whole cloth quilt into my frame and started it today, this one will take me quite a while as it has a lot of stitches to be had.  Something to do while watching and listening to TV.  Hope your summer is going great and all of you are quilting up a storm.  pb

New baskets made yesterday.

I decided that i needed to use up all my 3/4 inch fabric strips and the last of the clothes line rope in the tote box --soooo--i got two very big baskets.  The rest of the strips will be crocheted into a rug then that tote box is cleaned out--feels good to get that completed. 

Origami Bag and Six Charms Pincushion

Origami Bag & simple pin cushion

At Quilt camp we made these cute Origami Bags, if you put the pockets on the inside you get one like the touquoise bag, the patten calls for the pockets on the outside.  the cosmetic bag pattern can be found on Moda site and look for Sweek Treat Bag.

New Red Work Baby Quilts

These are both Jack Dempsey embroidery kits, I used 498 DMC Red floss.  These will be for my great grandchildren ----way into the future!!!!! So I will keep them safe until that day comes.  pb

New Baskets

I made these two baskets yesterday, cleaned out a big tote box of 1/2 inch strips and remaining clothes line rope now i will crochet the rest of the strips into a rug.  This is a good feeling to have completed a project that has been going on for a couple years.
