diamond stars

 Happy Sweet Day!

Hope that you have had a lovely week! It has been a busy one for me stitching up lots of diamond stars! I finished this sweet blue and white one for a mini quilt that I am working on. I decided to just do a small one, since I still have my hexie flower one that I need to finish.

And, I just finished these patriotic star flour sack tea towels that will be going into the shoppe at the end of the month! I am also working on some star coasters and some more patriotic pretties, along with some summery strawberry and cherry items, too. So, if I get quite you know where I will be! ;)

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and may you have a lovely time celebrating the sweet fathers in your life! xo

                                 

a good weekend for treasures

 Happy sweet day to you!

I finished another pretty star, and am loving how quick they are to make compared to the hexies, but I still love making those, too!

 These sweet pinwheels arrived for my quilt from the lovely Kerri of Sew Deerly Loved!! Aren't they pretty!

 Well, it was such a good weekend for lots of sweet new treasures!! The two estate sales I went to were so reasonable with prices, which was such a nice change, and no tax! :)

I found some Christmas goodies, linens, a beautiful lace tablecloth, plastic roses, a darning kit, and...

 One sweet item that I was excited to find was this darling rose hankie wash bag, with this cute typed poem attached.

 My cute new puppy pillow all washed and bringing some charm to my home!

 The second estate sale I only went the second day for half-off and came home with these adorable quilt blocks. I just love the kitties!!

  Some Halloween goodies!

 Wooden checkers, honeycomb bells, crocheted books,buttons, cards, and some lovely blue and silver ornaments that will be great for 4th of July!

And, these beautiful bread doilies, and a neat cook book from 1925. So, I think I am good on treasures for the next month! 

Well, wishing you all a lovely and creative week! And, sorry if I haven't come by to visit with you. I plan to be catching up and seeing what you have been up to today!

                                          
    

quilt blocks and a vintage baby quilt

 A happy sweet day to you!

Hope you had a lovely weekend! I have been working on some custom orders, and planning some new items for my shoppe. I had a little me sewing time yesterday and made my first diamond star! After seeing all the gorgeous ones the lovely Jessie of Messy Jesse has made, I was eager to try my hand at some. My little hexie flowers will have to wait while I make some more stars! I need a little practice with the centers, but happy with how my first one turned out. 

 I made this star block for Jennie of Clover and Violet for her Sew Sweet Bee block. It is such a sweet block and hope she likes it!

 Last week I found this little gem at the thrift store! A vintage baby quilt all hand appliqued and embroidered with sweet fruit kids!

 It has real cotton inside, that is balled in the corners, so maybe one day I can redo it, but I think it just give it charm.

 The pattern, Pee Dee Fruit Orchard kids, is from the 40's and it would be neat to find it so that I could make one, too! A sweet find!

I had some happy mail with these pretty fabrics from sweet Donna and her fabric shoppe, Donna's Lavender Nest! So pretty and I can't wait to play with them! 

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my great grandma's pot holder! I need to get some brown yarn to make one, just like hers!

Wishing you all a beautiful and crafty week!! xo
