Episode 34 Show Notes: Organizing with Crafty Projects


I can't believe I made a skirt!  If you want to see the original inspiration, check out Amy Hooper's tutorial from Moda Bake Shop.  I ended up coming up with my own design.  The fabric is vintage sheets.  Very comfy, and fun to twirl.

  

My Raggedy Ann "coloring book" embroidery project in progress - My sister Kelly will be so proud!


Check out all this thread I got at the Sewing Room sale held by my guild- only $8 for all this, plus a seam ripper, machine needles and a pair of stork embroidery scissors.

Here's the boxy bag I made, using Three Bears tutorial - I use it to carry all my chargers and cords when travelling.

Yeah... I figured out how to comment... I am listening to you while I comment. I find your quilting segments inspiring... even though I do not make projects I love looking at your stuff.

I do not understand twitter... do you do it from your phone? or do you do it from you computer. I can handle using the computer but I can not use my phone at work... TEXTING AND TWITTERING ETC is forbidden... Who would want a nurse on the phone while taking care of patients.

I also do not understand FLICKER I posted pictures but never got connected to your group.. not sure how to do it.

You would have to go to my blog to see my pictures... I finally figured out how to blog.

Loved your Raggedy Anne emboidery... If I ever retire I hope to get back into emboidery. Right now quilting and grandbabies use up my free time.
