Happy Monday and June!
Hope that you had a wonderful weekend! It sure went by fast. And, can you believe summer is almost here! I am definitely going to enjoy these cool evenings while they last.
Over the weekend I worked on some sweet little makings, including another barn block!
I decided to do the pretty maple leaf, which was fun to put together.
I have only two more to do, and then I will be making them all into a mini quilt! I just bought some red gingham for the sashing strips! I can't wait to see it finished and maybe I will be on my way to the country when it's done!
Another hexie flower is finished, and I have one that is almost done. I've decided to only make 12 flowers, and then add white and light aqua hexies all around the flowers. Maybe one day I will be brave and patient enough to make bigger quilts. So, three more flowers to go!
And, a little sneak peak at what I have been playing around with for the vintage embroidery kitchen line for my shoppe. Simple and cute is what I am going for! I have some hand stitching to do around the inside border, and then the final touches will be made for the pot holder.
I am still working out some more small details and kinks, such as the red floss making the area around the bow reddish and I am not really sure what to do. Any suggestions? So, luckily this one is prototype. And, I ran out of the same white fabric, so I ordered some more and will have to wait before I can stitch up any more of these and other animal cuties. I am also waiting for some white flour sack kitchen towels to arrive that will be getting sweet embroideries on them, too!
Wishing you a most lovely and creative week!!
Love it all, but the little dog is priceless! The hexie flower is so much fun.

Everything is so pretty. I enjoy seeing your things so much.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind sharing where you get your cloth and teatowels to embroider? I was looking online this weekend. I looked at Martha's.
I just love the lavender and yellow together. That was my grandmother's favorite color combination. Happy memories.
ReplyDeleteSew very adorable! I just love it all!!
ReplyDeleteYour new project is so cute. About your problem with the red floss. A few weeks back I was watching a sewing show on PBS and someone put some floss in a solution and kept it there for quite a while to show it wouldn't run. I am sorry but I don't remember the name but do know that they sell a floss that does not run on your fabric even when laundered. Hope that helps a bit.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week. xo
Evening Heather, Oh, that little piece with the puppy in the pan is soooo precious!! (wow, that sounded like a nursery rhyme) It is very cute!! I believe that will sell easily! Vintage kitchen is so popular! Blessings and a wonderful week~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE the puppy holder! I can't wait to see more animals that you make. I really want to learn to stitch like that. First try didn't go so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Heather!

Hello sweet Heather, The vintage image is so cute! I love your barn block and hexie. The colors are so pretty! I can hardly wait to see both of the quilts completed. I know they will be beautiful! I love the puppy embroidery! So sweet and perfect for the kitchen! You always make such sweet and charming things! Have a lovely rest of the week my friend! Love you, Paula xo
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Heather,
ReplyDeleteI just love all your squares. I am going to teach myself to make hexagons. Have you tried coloring your stitch work ? I will send you information about how to do it if you would like. Makes the colors of your floss really pop. I order my blank stitching items from a company call All About Blanks. They have great prices and low shipping cost.
Thank you stopping by to visit me.
xxoo,
Elizabeth
These kittens of yours are so cute :D
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful as always! I'm in love with your vintage embroidery pup, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOH my, I can't wait to see your barns all put together, I am totally loving your embroidered puppy, I can't help with your embroidery question though. I used to embroider a 100 years ago, you make me want to pick it up again. flower sack towels with your cute embroidery will be adorable!!
