Blog Hop

Starting on Dec 10th, you will be able to visit quilt blogs by clicking the Blog Hop
Party link.  For my give away, I have three handmade Tussie Mussie holders, perfect for Christmas.

 Please check out my blog and answer one question for me, leave a comment and please be kind.  I have had this blog for awhile, all I want to do is quilt, in one way or another.  I just don't have alot of time to do so, if you had one thing to add or say, what should I focus on. 
I want to improve my site so quilters will enjoy coming here and spending time.  Hope you will follow my blog.  Thank You and look forward to reading all your comments.  Hope you will follow me.
I will draw three names on Dec 17th.  My grandson (Briston) use to draw names for me, but they no longer live here, they moved to NC. :(  So, I'm going to let my husband draw for me, I'm sure he will be happy about that. :)  Check back to see if your name has been drawn and if so, please email me at grandmawillcox@zoominternet.net with your snail mail address.

Happy quilting,
RoseMary

Consignment Shop

Check out www.secondtimearoundconsignment.blogspot.com
This is what my husband and I have been up for almost a year now, June 3 will be a year that we have been open.  Hope you will follow us there also.
This is why I don't blog or work quilts much for the past year.  Just not enough time.
I do hope to finish the sunflower soon, maybe.

Wool Sunflower

 Here is the sunflower needle keeper that I used the dyed yellow wool on.  I still need to make the leaves for it, I'm not really following the pattern.  This is only the top outside of the needle keeper, still have to make the inside pockets for thread and wool to hold the needles.

I Love Sunflowers, they are not only for wool or quilting.  I plan on planting some under the front window.
And I love buttons also, this is a great project for both of them. 

I will post pictures of the other steps as I finish them.

Small things like this is what I try to work on at the shop, not much time to work on my fun things, I try to work them in.   http://www.second2timearoundconsignment.com/

Think I will make some for the shop also.

Happy sunflowers,
RoseMary

 

Dying Wool

Here is what I am using for the wool.

Here is the wool before dying it.

Here is what the wool looked like after dying, I wan to be able to be outside when I take my pictures, they look more natural.  The one of the left is 2 teaspoons of Sunflower Yellow and 1/4 of Poppy Red, the one on the right is just 2 teaspoons of Sunflower Yellow.  After they dry, I will heat set them.

I will show what I am working on when it's done.

See you later.

A Little Sewing

Here is a little sewing machine I picked up a few weeks ago.  But it does work, I don't know how much sewing I would get done, you hand crank with one hand, while holding the fabric with the other.  Not, really!  Just add one more sewing machine to my collection.  I love looking for these types of items.
