Trapunto

I've been trying my hand at a little trapunto lately. I've always loved the dimensional look and feel of it and anxious to try shadow trapunto, too.

Here's my first attempt, a sweet little yellow baby quilt. I think I should have quilted closer but I like it.

Oh my goodness, I was just thinking I need to diet and look what I found. This is over-the-top delight.

Look at what Pam found at etsy yesterday. It's this a riot or what! I hope they make more crochet doggy patterns for more dog breeds.
Check these out at etsy.

Are These Bags For Sale?

Tell us Chris...are the new black jean purse bags going into our Etsy Store? Check to see what Chris accomplished over the weekend! Our MadCreekDesigns Esty Store connection is in the left-hand column on this page.


I didn't finish ANYTHING over the weekend. But I did go to see Grand Torino and I highly recommend it! I think it is now my favorite show ever. I loved it! Clint Eastwood plays the grumpy widower and we were comparing him to my husband - grumping about the neighbors, grumping about the traffic, grmping about his own children, etc. But there is a heart in there somewhere and OH MY! I never expected the ending! I'm still in awe of the ending. Go see it! ~Pam

What I've forgotten.............

I need to make a list of all the projects I've forgotten so that I won't forget them again.

At the moment, I'm so excited. I finally figured out how to set up our slideshow to show you some of the goodies that Pam and I have for sale in our etsy shop. The slideshow will only take you to flickr but you'll find a link to our etsy shop in the left hand side bar, also.

Well, what should I work on on this fine Sunday. I see we've gained more ice from freezing rain last nite. That's always a good excuse to stay in and sew. I made more headway on the black and white quilt last night. But I really need to put my Christmas decorations away and straighten up my sewing room. Remember, Pam is coming over one day this week to buddy sew. That's much more fun with a clean sewing room. I'll have to remember to take pics of our progress, if we make any progress.................
