Beginning Sewing

Last month, we had a weekend that wasn't overscheduled. I pulled out my sewing machine to do some mending and to make some pillow covers. The girls were fascinated by what I was doing and wanted to participate. So I helped them make their own pillows. While we were searching for fabric, they were having trouble deciding, and I mentioned that we could make skirts, too. "You can sew SKIRTS?" Well, the challenge was on, and here are photos of the end products. We all had fun.

 

Looky looky!

Look what came in the mail yesterday. Karen at Pins and Needles did a fabulous job finishing my pumpkin sampler (and photographing it). Isn't it gorgeous? Thank you, Karen!

Versatile Tree

Here's my latest swap card. I wouldn't have guessed that Branch Out would be my "go to" stamp set. It is, however, quite versatile. I love this tree. Now I just need to make a summer one to go with the set. All products are Stampin' Up.

 

In Color Fall tree: Blackberry, Moss, Lagoon, Honey, Tangerine, and Rose Red
