I made this little black dog from the thrifted wool blanketing I got this weekend. The pattern is from this book
Vintage Fabric and Visiting the Japanese Bookstore
On Saturday Charlie took the baby for the morning so I could do some things by myself. I decided to check out a Japanese bookstore in Waltham, but it didn’t open until noon. I drove over to Waltham at 10:45 and stopped at the farmer’s market and bought sugar snap peas (yum!), fresh strawberries and…
Tea Time Mod Doll
Sometimes I feel badly that I spend much of each evening up in our room with my sewing machine, instead of downstairs with my husband so last night I tried staying downstairs for a while. I was hanging out on the couch, starring vacantly at the baseball game on T.V. and starting to doze. So,…
Patchwork Tote
I’ve never been much interested in making tote bags. They seem like one of those things that mass manufacturers do pretty well. But, after I finished my pink lemonade apron, I felt like doing some more strip piecing so I made a big enough quilt top to form two tote bags. Here is the first…
Tie One On – Pink Lemonade
Here it is – my apron for Tie One On. I’m pleased with how it came out. I got to use up a whole bunch of pink fabric that I had in my stash (why do I have so much pink fabric anyway?). I strip pieced a quilt top and then embroidered lemons on it…
Happy belated 4th of July
We had such a nice long weekend. The weather in Boston was perfect. We went to a barbeque on Sunday and saw our friends Jay and Carrie who are about to have a baby any minute now. Charlie and I went out on a date to the book store and out for sushi and ice…
Owl (the first of two)
I finished the first of the two owls from the gray and yellow vintage fabric. Sewing the brocade for the face was easier than I thought and I like how black it is. I added two white vintage buttons on each wing from my new bag of vintage buttons. This owl is one in a…
I’m back
Last night we arrived home from our vacation. We survived two very turbulant flights. Traveling with a toddler is also pretty crazy, but we made it. The weather was very sunny and warm and we had lots of beach time. Roxanne got to spend time with grandma and grandpa and interact with both of their…
Vacation!
We leave for a week’s vacation to the eastern shore of Maryland tomorrow so no posts for a while. I’m excited for my parents to spend some time with Roxanne and I’m excited to see my awesome sister, Rachel. I love going to Bethany because we spent a week there every summer when I was…
Fabric Postcard #2
I’m practicing embroidery stitches. For this postcard I chose an image from my book of Japanese Family Crests, modified it and drew it on some white canvas leftover from our wedding chuppah. I love the crazy black and transparent button on the top right corner. The back, which isn’t pictured, is green and white floral…
