An Apple A Day

Hello everyone! I have another wool project to share with you! I made my son's teachers this candle mat. I really love how these turned out! And these really were super easy to do! A great beginner project! I had wanted to frame them but didn't get around to doing that part before we needed to give them away. But they will be fun to set out on their desks and use for a mug! I ordered this as a kit from Winterberry Cabin


I am still working on my Fun & Done quilt! I have four rows attached! Now it's time to cut some more fabric. I will have to try and take a photo of my progress on that. I also have a couple of wool projects that need to be finished up. I am currently taking a class on a big project and need to get back to stitching so that I will be caught up before class tonight!! Ooops!! Better get back to work! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

My First Wool Project!

Hello everyone and welcome to my newest adventure! I have been wanting to start a blog where I can share my sewing creations. I also want to share progress on my sewing creations. 


This past January I took a beginning wool appliqué class with my friend Becky. I was instantly hooked!! We both were!! Actually, Becky really took off and she is really going strong - lol! But I love it, too! Anyway, the class was three sessions (one class per month) and we finally finished up in March. Since then, I have taken on more projects and have started a quilt! These are things that I will share as time goes on. Anyway, this particular mat is the Daisy Table Mat. This was my very first project and the only one that I have that is completely finished. It is really hard to see the stitches but that's o.k. - lol!! I didn't do too bad but I did learn a lot!! I bought this as a kit and it came with all the wool needed for this project and the backing. I just had to find thread to match. I used a combination of DMC Pearle Cotton and Valdani. This is a Primitive Gatherings kit. 


I am hoping to post at least once a week - for sure once every two weeks. It just depends on how far I have come on my projects. I do hope that this blog will help keep me sewing!! I am really excited to be sewing and sharing! Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
