Wooden Quilt Address


The quilt block is finished and attached!


The darling DH getting the job done! 


The big picture...


Our sweet little dream cottage on the golf course; near the beach 
now has a beautiful quilt to showcase the house numbers!
The neighbors probably think it's part of the Christmas decorations.
Won't they be surprised when it stays in place forever!


BTW... The window above the quilt block is my sewing studio.
I get the whole room over the garage all to myself!
I'm just a happy camper up there ;-)

Keep stitchin' for the ones you love!

    That turned out really cute. You really nailed it! I'm adding this to my pinterest list. Now I want to make one for my stepdaughter's farmhouse.

    Oh, yes! I love it! Well done!
    And the perfect spot as that is your sewing studio.

    Nice, nice, nice. My studio is the room over the garage too and I love it. The terrific natural light I get in there just warms me so.

A Ghastly Party... It's BYOB!

Image
Welcome to Crooked Gulley's Ghastly Project! If you go into the city tonight you're in for a scary surprise! For every Ghastly that ever there was Will gather there for certain because... Tonight's the night the Ghastlies are having their GALA! What's that you say?? It's BYOB? I need a wine carrier that's made just for me? I've got it! I've found it!   It screams, " LOOK and SEE !" It's chic and carries the best Chardonnay, There's even more room for Merlot and Cabernet! Sparkly with pockets and secure compartments. And think of all the marvelous compliments! There's room for a cheese board, knife, and bread, Oh what a marvelous, delicious spread! Check out the pockets for napkins and corkscrew. How about the backside? It's cute and chic, too. It's simply sublime, and I'll look divine! And... now, I'm done with this silly rhyme!!!      Well... I can hardly wait for the next BYOB party at my golfing ...

 I don't have my beautiful sewing studio anymore. We decided to get out from under the mortgage. That means we sold the house including my awesome sewing room above the garage! Bummer! But we're going to Italy in the Fall for a month.... not a bade trade off at all. Italy always inspires new quilts. So we got creative with space. This house is 1400 sq' compared to the 2800' we sold. There are two bedrooms. That's it! The "guest bedroom" is my new sewing room. DH converted the closet into a lighted sewing center with my thread racks on the back closet wall. Not too bad. From now on I'll make smaller art quilts :-)  But, what to do about a bed in the center of the room???? DH to the rescue again. He built a Murphy Bed from a kit and directions off the web. His next project is a large work table that will fold up and go under the lowered bed when company comes. The picture below is of the Murphy Bed. We've already had several overnight guest...

April Showers Mug Rug Blog Hop

Image
Welcome! So happy you could stop by to visit on this beautiful spring day. Erin Davis  and Madamme Samm  have done a fabulous job of scheduling and coordinating this event...  To them I send ~   A Grand Thank You! My mug rug is a bit on the large size and does not have a thing to do with rain, showers or April. In fact, I should have saved it for next month's bird blog hop. But it is the one and only mug rug I've ever made, and I just love it.  (Oddly enough, so does my DH) It all started with this litte table located in our cozy reading corner of the kitchen.    It's functional because it holds magazines and has a lamp.  However, the top is not real wood! Tacky!  And, our kitchen is pretty nice... We love its open style and views.  Enjoying coffee there in the morning is quite nice. I wanted a nicer looking table. That little table was just screaming... MUG RUG! We have a bird fee...
