Sunday Stitching

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. As I mentioned in my last post, I am attempting to clean my sewing area (aka my dining room). I keep on getting distracted with some great things I am finding that I have forgotten about like this Sashiko piece. 

I picked this up at a Quilt show back in 2011!

Sashiko is a 350 year old Japanese hand needlework technique using a thick cotton thread to create a geometric pattern against a solid background fabric. 

I am going to make this my Sunday Stitching project and will post updates on Sundays.

It will make a nice wall hanger.

Happy Stitching!

Wednesday Morning

While I was attempting to organize my sewing area (aka dining room). I found these cute English Paper Pieces kits from Paper Pieces.  I was trying to remember where I pick them up from....I either got them from a Quilt Show or from a lecture/truck show given by Jessica's from Life Under Quilts.

I found 6 of these kits.

On Wednesday, I work the late shift so before heading off to work, I was able to baste six 1/2 inch hexies. I thinking these would make cute pin cushions.

Happy Stitching!

Monday Morning Star Count 7/7

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I finished my Tula Pink 1 inch hexies piece. It is 10 hexies by 10 hexies. 

I am going to quilt this piece and than make it into a pillow.

This is the fabric I plan on using for the back.
