No red and green this time around :P

This time I made a little vintage looking yellow,orange,pink,green and blue number. Creativity arose from scrap bed linens and a little Dream On thrown in there.

Quick project to release some of the urge to create with fabric for a bit!


Out came the pretty colors of finca threads......

All crinkly from the dryer.

some Kona orange and a Denyse Schmidt print...such a versatile print to tie it all in too I feel.
This was so fun to hand embroider along all the little seams of the triangles and squares throughout the bow tie pattern;)

Then I did some machine quilting in dark blue Sulky thread to hold it all together.


Bow tie Mini will be in the shop today.

I did a little hand embroidering on some Tula Pink fabric as well in the past couple of weeks.


Sorry about the unclear words on this one..click on it for a better view;)  I is supposed to say I will obey,right away,every day, in a cheerful way.  It's a little phrase Ayden and I are using to instill obedience into Ayden in our Christian home.  Something light,easy and fun to say!

Besides quilting and embroidery.....

we have been celebrating the birth of Jesus coming soon on Christmas through this Advent season. 

Ayden enjoys lighting the candles each night;)












Enjoy your weekend.....................off to decorate the tree and show off my new tree skirt underneath it.  I will have to come back with some pics for ya'll to see.
