Copper Wire Garden Jewelry

 I watched videos on YouTube on how to make copper wire plant jewelry.  This was fun to make.  I made three others with beads and some aurora borealis crystals.

Wallhanging

 I saw a wallhanging with the word quilt spelled out in squares so I made a small version with 1.5 inch squares.  Not the best but I can always fix the design when I get the chance to do it again.  

 

Still Nesting.

     I replaced the dull green curtains that covered my closet in my craft room with a pretty blue and white floral.  I finally decided that my craft room colors will be blue and white.

     I also put a blue felt heart banner up over the closet door.  I have two other blue heart hangings in here.  Pictures below.  

    I'm hoping I can get organized in my craft room soon so I can sandwich and quilt a few quilts.  I think I have 5 tops that need to be finished.  Not including the blue and white hexie quilt I only have one row sewn together on.  

Foundation Paper Piecing

    I bought this star pattern from Ten Cow Quilts on Etsy.  It was a very nice pattern.  I made this star to place on the back of my denim jacket.  I used fabric from my stash and it was fun to put together.  

Scrappy Pillow Cover

   The last couple of days I spent cutting and sewing up 112 -3 inch squares to make the front and back of this scrappy pillow cover with my fabric from my stash.  I made the front with 49 squares (7 rows of 7 squares) and after sewing them together I quilted it to a piece of white fabric to stabilize it.  I used the rest of the squares for the envelope back, one piece had 5 rows and the other piece had 4 rows.   It was fun to make.  I want to make more.  

Nesting In My Craft Room, Finally

    The windows are finished and I've been nesting my craft room.  I set up my corner shelf unit for my African violet, which is loving the north light from the window and I set my irons on the shelves.  The entire bottom shelf is empty now.  I want to put something special on it.

   

   I also spent some time organizing my straight pins.  I needed a clean out. I spent a lot of time getting stuck by pins before I even grabbed a pin.  It was annoying.
