call me crazy.

Another "hoop up" embroidery done for the swap. The theme here is ' into the forest'. I got this pattern from a color page, but didn't put all the details in it.

And I am working on my 2nd block for my "A Boy's Story" quilt. It's a boat and my little guy loves sharks, so I just had to add a shark swimming around the boat. :o) Call me crazy.

embroidery and I've lost my mind. :o)

I received my first embroidery block back from our 'Hoop Up' Swap and I just had to post it. Dena stitched this up for me. My theme is Sew~ on ~ Wednesday. I choose the vintage 'days of the weeks' for tea towels... Wednesday was usually 'sewing'. I love this pattern and now I have it stitched up for me. Isn't it the cutest ever?!


And O m g, I am starting a new project. Yes.... I am crazy in the head. But I love this new book , " A Boy's Story" by Hatched and Patched. So I am going to start on this adorable boy's quilt in hopes that I get it finished in time for a grandson one day. LOL

Sick baby this week.

My sweet baby boy has pneumonia and a double ear infection. So I have been stuck at home since Tuesday, ( Except for the outing to the doctor's office, the imaging center for x-rays, and the pharmacy for medication) But I have gotten some sewing done.

I finished another one of my "hoop up" embroidery's. This one is for Ryan, who's theme is owls. Can you tell? :o) The pattern is from a coloring page. I did change it a little. He looks a little ''Dr. Seuss' to me, but I love Dr. Seuss.
I stitched up a block for my sewconnected 3 group. Gretchen wants to make an Amish quilt. This block is called the 'Amish Diamond' so I thought is would be perfect.



And I finally finish my row for my row robin. The rows are turning out to be scrappy Autumn. So I did a scrappy star Autumn sky. The stars I made by using Thangles.
Have a great rest on the week. Going to go take care of my little guy now.

2 finishes

I finished an embroidery for a "hoop up" swap I am doing. It's happening over at Flickr. My theme is " Sew-on-Wednesday" from the vintage sew patterns.

And I finished the commissions quilt. It's a wedding quilt for 2 VW bus owners. People will sign the boarders at their wedding. :o)
Did you see that Rob Appell posted a comment on my last post? OMG! Thank you Rob! And I would love for you to teach my how to surf if I am ever your way.
