Pin Cushions

Yesterday i went to the Thrift Stores and i found these cups and bowls. This morning i could not sleep so i was up at 3:00 am and i fixed my self a cup of Java (coffee) and made my pin cushions. Inside the jar is novelty buttons, I think the Pin Cushions are so cute. Well, i guess i need to join a Pin Cushion Swap somewhere. i have more cushions to make today it look like rain again, it suppose to rain all this week so i better get busy sewing and crafting. I need to call my sewing buddy and see if we can get together sometime and sew/quilt. Holly (sewing Buddy) taught me how to quilt about a little over 2 years ago, she also have 2 blogs called http://www.fabricmom.blogspot.com/ and http://www.fabricmom.com/ , Holly makes some beautiful quilts, stop by and read her blogs. Well, i better get busy working on my Cushions and making my Double Wedding Ring Blocks. Have a Cup of Java

1. Thou shalt not do buttons. 2. Thou shalt sew 1/4" seams. 3. Thou shalt leave no bolt unturned. 4. Thou shalt not rip-only un-sew! 5. Thou shalt not envy their neighbors stitches. 6. Thou shalt not ever pass a quilt shop. 7. Never quilt tomorrow what you can quilt today. 8. Thou shalt cool and clean but once a week. 9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors stash. 10. Thou shalt not reveal funds spent on quilting supplies

What I am working on

Today I woke up at 5:00 am and fixed some coffee, got on the computer then started working on some quilt block called the Wedding Ring, I liked this quilt for a long time even before i knew how to quilt. So, now i have 5-6 WIP. By the end of the year i will try to have them finished into tops. and next year work on quilting them. I been thinking about redoing my kitchen into some other decor , now i have it into Red Apples as you see, I throught about doing it into Cafe Latte (Java), since i love coffee. will keep you posted on what i will do.
