This One Is Mine.

I have three quilts going right now.  One is my daughters Hawaiian quilt, Two, is my granddaughters triangle quilt, and three is MY QUILT.

I am using fabric that was given to me a couple of years ago by a friend that I met on Facebook.

The center fabric is a raw silk with little tiny embroidered roses and the backing is a complementary cotton fabric with roses of the same color. It makes for a perfect match. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with the raw silk as it was too pretty to cut at all so my friend Monica from the Quilters Cottage in Toledo, Oregon, suggested doing a one on one quilt.
Perfect and when I found the backing I was so excited. She helped me to lay it out yesterday and this is what I have accomplished so far. I am going to love this.

The raw silk fabric seems to be a vintage fabric and three of us are in agreement on that. How do you like my combinations?

I am using the vine of the stem and leaves as my quilting guide.



Of course Baxter has to keep an eye out for visitors and then a much needed morning nap. Lab butts make great pillows.

So till tomorrow. 

Have a perfect creative day .

Punch Drunk Needle Works: Saying Good Bye to 2013

Punch Drunk Needle Works:
Good Bye 2013 and Hello 2014
 Okay, well, like I said I am going to spend less time on Facebook and more time on my Blogs and doing things that are important to me. My family and sewing, quilting and when the weather turns warmer, working in the yard. I have been blessed with this house but it is a lot more work to keep up with. I love it. The hubby loves it and so do the dogs. The bird, Pete, not sure. His space remains the same but he has a much nicer view now.
so I hope you will stop by and say hello and see what I am up to now and then. Happy New year to you all.

A Few of My Current Projects.

I made these for my granddaughters and I hope that they like them.

I wanted to share the purses that I made for two of my Granddaughters for Christmas. I found the instructions on Pintrest and although they are a bit time consuming they really turn out great, I think. I will get the instructions and share that info with you in a little while.

I am going to be starting yet another quilt just for me. I love working on the Hawaiian quilt but I also have a plan in mind for a new bedroom scheme and it includes a new red and white quilt. Not absolutely sure which pattern I am going to use yet though so will also share that with you as soon as I decide.

I am going to make red and white gingham checked curtains to take me back to my childhood bedroom that my mother had done for me when I was having my tonsils out and then came down with the mumps too. I was a very sick puppy. Right now I have a dark paneling in my room and I am going to paint it white.

So I guess you might say I have a lot of projects in the pan and I need to get busy so I hope you will enjoy reading and watching my adventure for my new bedroom.

Have a wonderful day.
