I’m Staying Focused!

Well after showing you some CRUMBS of Button Town yesterday, I was hoping to give you the full meal today but alas…the bread needs to brown just a little more! (in other words…I am still stitching…just need to sew on the BUTTONS and do a bit more hand quilting!)

Lately we have been talking a lot about all the FREE STUFF on the Internet…(Thank you PINTEREST!)  Over at The Noble Wife I stumbled onto some dang sweet FREE Stitcheries…and they are VERY appropriate for this time of year!

~ Pumpkin Bouquet ~

~ Pumpki w/ Tag & Bird ~ Free Pattern....

To see the rest of this sweet snowman you are going to have to go over and have a chat with The Noble Wife!

Also RUSH over to Life Is a Stitch Blog…as there is a wonderful and detailed tutorial on how to make this beauty… out of old men’s shirts!

She makes it look SEW easy! 

Have you got time to start a new BOW called Grandmother’s Choice…compliments of Barbara Brackman!   The blocks are VERY nice and of course, all have a historical story behind them! 

                         Grandmother's Choice<br>Block of the Week

And because Gay (Sentimental Stitches)is so nice she is going to be giving away her own BOW blocks that could be used to supplement Barbara’s blocks (they are the same size) …just in case you might want to add a block or two of appliqué!  How sweet and very generous of her as she normally sells these appliqué patterns in her online shop!  OR you could just make her appliquéd quilt…called ‘Sally Post Floral Sampler’!  She’s a beauty!

Now you know why Button Town still isn’t finished!!  I tell you, you go into Pinterest for a couple of minutes and an hour flashes by!!  NO Pinterst today!!  Buttons ON…Buttons ON…stay focused!!

Have a Magical Monday and Happy Quilting!~P

  2. Yep, I have to agree with Shakerwood! I'll never get finished...I'm too old...I still have to work full time! All my sewing calls to me while I write about maternity clothes and mens' socks! Okay, enough self pity...seriously, you are so great about finding new, fun projects. Thanks for sharing! Have a happy holiday! xo

  9. I like the first pumpkin stitchery and the quilt made from shirts! So many creative people out there keeping us so busy! I did not finish my stitching yesterday either... I went into baking mode and made some pumpkin oatmeal cookies! :-)
