Then yesterday, Sunday, it snowed EIGHT INCHES! I wasn't planning to leave the house anyway, since I could barely walk from my soccer escapades. Know what that means? Time to sew!
I worked on my hand quilting a bit on the Charm Quilt, and then remembered that my mother's birthday is in about 2 weeks. Down to the sewing room I went. (Mom, if you are reading, this is your cue to STOP READING!)
Do you remember the summer coverlet I inherited this spring, made by my Great Aunt (or someone - I should make an effort to find out who made it), that was falling apart and needing to be repurposed?
Summer bedspread made by my Great Aunt Somebody or other. Flowers are made from french knots on muslin. |
I liked them so much and I had a tiny bit of the fabric left over that I made one more to be the first item in my new ETSY shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/mypatchworklife.
Yup, that's right, I've taken the plunge. I make more stuff than I have intended recipients. And besides, at the Old Middlebrook Village Day last year where I had a booth, many people asked for a business card. So now, I have a shop, business cards and labels to sew into my stuff. Cool, huh? Now, if I can just finish some actual QUILTS to put in there!
Anyway, today is a snow day for the kids, so I am working from home. I just finished reading a bunch of files, and now my bed is calling to me to come take a little nap. My bedroom is perfectly situated in the house, warm and sunny throughout the day, perfect for napping. YAWN! Happy Monday, everyone!

Love those cushions,, what size are they?? Gorgeous!
Hope your knees are feeling better!
Good luck with your Etsy shop. I love your little label with the block you designed.
Congrats on your new store!
I hope your aches and pains go away and your knees heal ;)
OK first off- I didn't know you had a nose piercing and I think it's way cool that you do. I always wanted one and didn't have the guts.
Secondly an etsy shop! I'm so excited for you!
Wow soccer! I wouldn't be able to walk for a week.
Congratulations on your shop and welcome to the club! I'm wishing you lots of success!
I feel your soccer pain! I played one summer in a ladies league. My knees hated me! Note that I only played one summer.
Your pillows are lovely! And, I love your labels. Good luck with your shop.
