So this is my summer.sewing.project.
All of these materials were found ON SALE on July 4th. After fireworks were displayed that evening, I locked myself up in my room and began sewing away. Do you ever wonder if you missed your calling? Well - as I was sewing, it made me wish I could spend every minute of every day simply sewing. It was relaxing and so fulfilling to see the ideas one has in mind turn into something tangible.
My to-do sewing list
1. 4 pillowcases
2. 2 accent pillows
3. a lamp shade
4. 2 Euro sham covers.
5. quilt top
As I look back at the list, I can successfully say that more than 1/2 of the list is completely finished!!!!
Here are the finished products :-)
two of the four pillowcases :-) blues and pinkish-browns :-)
this lamp has been in the family for a long time - just updated the shade!
"new" bed!!!
the quilt i've been working on for many months - all that's left: quilting the top & the border
a queen size quilt. these are my favorite colors - reds, browns, and whites
So perhaps I haven't missed my calling....maybe it's simply beginning :-)
