AN old Door Show -N- Tell

OK, I know what you are thinking, I'm NUTS....but I really like this door !

Husband and I headed to a flea market. And, look what we found. I liked the full walnut one that said, "Boys Locker Room" on it, but he picked this one, not worth a discussion, SOLD.

All the glass is perfect, I cleaned and cleaned.
paint or not to paint, I didn't.

He had to move the hinges to the other side
They look great, old and a bit of rust. Love them.

The door handle, love it !

Old Wooden Door has a Head Board

Old Wooden Door has a Head Board

Looking at the pictures on the blog, I didn't like that there was no headboard.

Husband takes one day off during the week and we headed to a flea market. I mentioned a queen size headboard, but something different. And, look what we found. I liked the full walnut one that said, "Boys Locker Room", he picked this one. I think I'm rubbing off on him?

All the glass is perfect, I cleaned and cleaned.
We had the discussion to paint, I didn't.

He had to move the hinges to the other side so they could be left on,
They look great, old and a bit of rust. Love them.

The door handle, Stop back tomorrow and see the room on Quilt Show Saturday,

Turquoise Fabric made in to a My Quilt

Going through the closet I found this turquoise fabric, the cheater's cloth was in the back of the sewing closet and I love it too.

I draw out the blocks and set the fabric placement and just sewed.

A fun couple of days in the sewing room. I think I'm going to tie this quilt for Florida, a gift for myself.

Little Pink Quilt in Log Cabin Pattern

Little Pink Quilt, machine pieced and hand quilted.

The quilt finished to a size of 7" x 7".

Using cotton batting and all hand quilted.

The white thread pops on the green fabric.

The quilt back. I think sometimes the backs are beautiful without the fronts.

Quilt for Christmas for Son and Daughter-n-law

The second quilt I did, this one for Son #2 and wife

for the holiday.

I decide that we are nuts with gift giving and had to simplify.

Doing 2 queen size quilts was nuts of me to do, I pieced them,

sent out to have machine quilted and I did the binding,

took pictures and shipped. I'm rethink this plan for next year.

The front side - it's a queen size on my king bed.

Sewing binding on

I like to hand sew the binding down, just looks nice.

When they said, "Yellow" for the back I was not sure, but, oh my, I like.

They gave me a picture of a quilt out of a magazine and I just did my thing. The best is hearing that they remember what some of the front pieces of fabric are from, old quilts, baby quilts etc...

The back of Son #1. I love the red. I called from the store and asked color for the backing. I was leaning to blue or green. I loved hearing red.

The quilt front, after long arm quilting, by an area shop.

Binding done, ready for wrapping and shipping.

A new home ! ! Perfect.

This Quilt Ladies Favorites - A Vase Problem

I have this Vase problem, I love them.

I'm going to show my little problem.....

They all hold water and look great with flowers. But it's cold here, so no flowers.

An auction find, the color is great.

This is smaller than the picture shows, with tulips in it, Perfection.

On one of our moves I was in a garden club and I think I started collecting then. I never spend very much, Goodwill is always a stop for me !

Sew Happy with my Vases,

Quilt Wall - Red, White and Blue Little Quilt

Long ago, (so long ago), I did this quilt. When my father was very sick and after he lost his battle, this is the quilt that I worked on. I quilted and quilted it. I filled so many hours. I remember having so much to do and not being able to do anything but sit and quilt on this little wall quilt.

It was some months later and I put it in an area quilt show and over heard someone said, "You'd have to be nuts to quilt like that." You know I was, but in it's way this quilt brought me back.

Stitches and more hand stitches.

Years ago, (12 years) this magazine was very popular, and this little quilt of mine was on the cover, a very large honor, for me and dad's quilt. Both hang very proudly in my sewing room, this little quilt of mine.

Sew Happy, Beth

Dress it UP for a Party - Grandma's Plastic GREAT jewelry

There is an annual Gala here at one of our local hospitals, the Mercy Hospital Gala and my husbands company always buys a table (this past Saturday Night). It was very nice to be asked to go this year. I was going through jewelry and started taking pictures for Show - n- Tell Friday.

Long ago my folks were very involved in Eastern Star Chapter ??? At 51, I still don't understand, but they always dressed up, I've had this necklace forever and it goes perfect with a simple dress.

I always think I'm going to wear these, but I've never made it out of the house with them on. The are clips and they hurt. Women before me had stronger ear lopes.

I know in a family you are not to have favorites, but I had a Grandma G who broke the mold. She was one of a kind and this is something she gave me, her charm bracelet with all the grands and greats names and birthdays. I seem to take it out when I miss her.

Grandma G, wore this and I called it her sand paper necklace. So many memories..... I wore my own designed beads and stub earring. But I had a ball going through everything.
