Doodlin’ With My Sewing Machine

Life’s Quilt by Olive Woodward MacDonald:

Our memories hold in life much that is sad, discouraging and difficult
but also much that is happy, hopeful and fulfilling.
Each memory is a patch in Life’s Quilt.
The light squares are the happy and the dark represent the sad.
So we just have to rest under it as a whole
and we will be warm and comfortable
and taken altogether it won’t be too heavy.

Vintage Modern Upcycled Quilts

I always work on more than one project at a time.  I just finished making a play mat for a special new baby and am working on quite a few new quilts.  It seems that all of my best friends are going to be having their first babies at about the same time, so I’m very busy designing and making their quilts!

Sewing Patterns – Making Sewing Simple and Fun

I can’t even wait at the doctor’s office without analyzing the seams and construction of the clothing worn by everyone around me. Everything around me every day made of fabric, or that could be possibly made of fabric, is a constant inspiration.

Life’s simple things inspire creativity.

Today’s featured crafter is a heart attack survivor. She said, as a result of the experience, “It has made me appreciate life more and has inspired me to eat healthier, more carefully and include exercise in my routine. Also has made me appreciate living.”

Thank you Linda for sharing your story and being a part of Heart Handmade Blog.

FYI – You look just peachy in your picture – hard at work :)

The Blow Off of Embroidery

The Blow Off of Embroidery

We have both been creative in various forms from the time we were kids…but our collaboration started when James gifted me with another one of his amazing hand-drawn cards. This particular card featured an image of General Tom Thumb (since he knows I LOVE the circus) and I proclaimed “this would make an awesome embroidery”.
