Grateful and Blessed

Here is the first project of the 2017 Super Saturday with my sister. 
This was inspired by http://kimberdawnco.com/hand-lettered-grateful-and-blessed-free-svg-cut-file/ 



I found the base for this project here http://www.joann.com/fab-lab%238482%3B-plank-with-hooks-natural/15330392.html

Fun, easy and satisfying project.

Garage Makeover

What a difference it makes. Brian filled in holes, did some sanding on the drywall and painted the Garage white. 






These hooks on the wall gets the ladders off the floor.
Than we hung these shelves and put our supplies into clear plastic bins. Smart.
Storing the bikes in a way that is easily accessible means we might ride our bikes more often.




Next step: scrubbing and sealing the floor.

Snow Flake Runner

Sew much fun! I learned to make the half square triangles. Don't look too close. I got better as I went along. I'll be quilting this free-motion style on my own sewing machine.

T-Shirt Quilt

When a friend asked me to help her with a T-Shirt quilt, I had to work up a pattern and make one myself to test that pattern. This is what I came up with utilizing 9 of my daughter's Ts. To make the twelve block necessary to make this a twin sized topper, I created some designs on the back of the shirts with my embroidery machine. Can't wait to have it quilted.

Plaid Scarf


Here is a fun project. It is crochet with a seed stitch called color pooling. It uses a variegated yarn to get the effect of a woven plaid.
