Quick Gifts…

I need a couple of fast handmade gifts so I pulled these two little pennies that I had cut out earlier and started stitching…

I got the pattern for this little penny from…P1170945 ..this book, ‘Folk Quilt Applique’!  Love this book..it’s full of good things!!

P1190039

And this little penny (the white tongues are just paper as I experiment)…came from a free pattern… 

P1170922-001

P1170923

…which came from a blog which no longer exists…:o(

P1170924

So I shall be stitching here and there in between sorting and reorganizing and hanging and general cleaning!! Now that the painting and the flooring are done in the TV/computer Room, I have come out of my work mode funk to realize that the rest of the house looks like a bomb has gone off!!  YIKES! What happened?

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!~P

    Morning Paulette, what amazes me is that although you are decorating the one room the whole house becomes a mess because of it. We finished the kitchen, den and laundry over the Jubilee weekend and our dining room was used as storage. The Boys moved into the sitting room wholesale so all the rooms downstairs were in a mess!!! It is worth when its finished but I hate doing it too. Love the new sewing room. Susie x

    Very cute stitchin' projects. Having something fun to stitch makes everything else we need to deal with so much easier, doesn't it??? After we finish our 'chores' sitting down to stitch is like having dessert! (smile)

    Doesn't seem like everything can be in place at the same time, does it? Gotta keep reminding myself that the great homes in magazines are staged and the junk is all piled behind the cameraman!

    Stinkin' cute project!!

    Love your little project... why is it that one project leads to another... I mean the house but I guess it's the same when you find a good quilting book too!
