Squares and more squares

It was a snowy, windy, cold day...perfect for cutting out squares.  I cut 1 1/2 inch, 2 1/2 inch and 3 inch beauties.  These are the littlest ones made from scraps of feed sacks.  Aren't they cute?   I need to think of a good way to store all of them.

And then I sewed them up into these blocks that will probably morph into hot pads soon.

Farm Boy Baby Gift

When I found this material, I knew I had to have it.  So far, I've made three bibs and two diaper keepers.

Newest Christmas Stocking

Love the newest stocking in the line-up for little Mr.

Used the tutorial found here 

I tried a new technique on this stocking for the embroidery and I LOVED it!  I printed out the name on water-soluble stabilizer paper using my ink-jet printer.  The brand I used was Pellon and it's called Stitch-n-Washaway.  It has an adhesive side which I pressed onto the fabric (with my hand, not an iron) and then embroidered right through it.  When I was done I cut the extra stabilizer away from the letters and then soaked the fabric in warm water to remove the rest of it. I was so pleased with the results.  I couldn't believe how professional it looked.  Not bragging though...except on the new product I found!

The Minions

Rag letters and fabric basket

These letters have tiny magnets inside and look so cute on the refrigerator.  Next time  I think I would make the back side of each letter a solid color to help kids more easily get them turned the right direction.

Kid Aprons...times three

 Little waitress apron

 Made this one reversible which makes everything so easy

I've been saving this little piece of cuteness for something special.  It's Japanese fabric and I love it.
