Feed Me First...


Enjoyed making this fun postcard for a pink challenge that brings back fond memories of feeding my 3 young grandbabies who were very close in age and were hungry at the same time.  As they got older, milk bottles have been replaced by donuts, their favorite new treats.

I also challenged myself to use recycled materials. The background is  made from a white dryer sheet that was colored pink.  A pink bubble wrap envelope was reused as the border and the wrench handle.  The silver wrenches are from an aluminum foil circle from packaging. Embroidery floss scraps make up the nest. A rubber toy donut was sliced in half horizontally and finally added beads for the donut sprinkles to attach to the fabric postcard.

Hand embroidery weekly challenge

Learning new hand embroidery stitches each week this year with  the TAST Facebook group. Hope to learn and improve with each week. Started with a prequilted pillowcase to have a sturdy base and focus on the stitches.

Gratitude Box


Made a box for my mom. Wrote small notes of gratitude and appreciation of why she means so much to me, put them in a small giftbag and then in the box. She reads one note each day..a great way to start each day this month...

Still Wish You Were Here!


 


Still Wish You Were Here!

 Life today is a huge adjustment from being a couple for 4 decades to being all alone.  Not a single day goes by that I don't miss you, your cheerful smile and the sound of your awesome laughter...

My grief postcard to my better half is my interpretation of the Project Quilting Season14.1  Theme :“one”
