flower friday

after ogling beautiful flowers on a gazillion blogs this spring/summer, just had to post another of mine from long ago....

the short concrete walkway into my house from driveway begged for some color...planted these tulips and they didn't disappoint...

the binding is ready to go on baskets I so popped another UFO into the hoop and it just might get done before july arrives....

with june winding down, almost time for christmas in july....daughter and i are going to make another try at a craft table so pulled some ideas to use up more christmas stash...



and maybe some strip-pieced placemats as well...long ago i made large bells and tied little jingle bells to them for door hangers...have to see if that pattern is still on hand...from a 1980s woman's day mag back i think....

with house chores caught up and exercise done for the day, it's sewing time!  have one for yourself why don't you???

  1. Ogling gorgeous garden photos all season long is the ultimate motivation, and looking back at that throwback photo of your bright walkway tulips is the perfect way to join in on Flower Friday. Knocking out that basket binding and immediately popping a new UFO into the hoop shows some serious dedication, especially with the June clock ticking down toward July. The plan to tackle a Christmas in July craft table with your daughter sounds like a blast, and digging up a 1980s Woman's Day magazine pattern for those jingle bell door hangers would be the ultimate nostalgic stash-buster. Trading the house chores and workouts for some guilt-free sewing time is the absolute best way to head into the weekend.

  2. The Christmas tree runner is a great design. I especially like the in-the-hoop project.

  3. Tablerunners are lovely. Hopefully just the right sale item for your region of the country! And seriously, what little Dutch girl doesn't love Tulips year round ;-)

  6. I think it would be delightful to hear the bells jingle every time the door moves. Great idea!!
