4th of July

WOW!  It is almost that time of the summer!!  We will be celebrating out independence and freedom.  Let us not forget our men and women in uniform while we are eating hot dogs and hamburgers.  Bow your heads and send a prayer for their safety winging their way sometime during your festivities.  If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be able to enjoy our independence and freedom!!!  Thank GOD for our Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines!!!

Now I will get back to the sewing theme!  I spent the morning with an absolutely wonderful woman named Jenny!!!  She wants an embroidery machine, and I do believe she will be talking her hubby into one in the near future!!  We sewed out an eagle on mine in a little over 43 minutes and she was so impressed.  We talked about clothes, fabric, thread, quilts......and before you know it, it was 2pm.

Now I will be working on another tablerunner for the 4th of July, really must get busy and get it finished so I can post a picture of it here!  I have embroidered 4 blocks to go in it.  One of them is the eagle with the word Freedom in it.

Have a great day and remember, the will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you!!!!

Rain in the Hill Country!!

It RAINED!! last night.  Oh joy oh JOY!!  We so badly needed that here in the parched hills of Canyon Lake of Texas.  It is only suppose to get to 90 degrees today, which is cooler than normal for us.  But, back to the sewing! I have lots on the table, nothing finished at the moment.  I have plans to post some tutorials for everyone. So watch this blog!!  Hugs to all of you that are following.

Patriotic Tablerunner

Well the weekend was productive!! I finished two table runners for the 4th of July.  It was to hot to be outside and my hubby was way to interested in the US Open. So pictures are added!  Post and let me know what you think.

Hot Enough to Cook in the Car!!

Even the weather man is showing us how to cook in our cars!!!  I for one am staying inside and sewing up a storm.  Making patriotic table runners for the 4th of July.  Will post pictures of them by tomorrow.  Sooooooo, wait for it!!!

Friday!!!

It is hot, hot, hot here in Texas!!! Probably why sew many of us stay in and play in our sewing rooms all day! So I will post some pictures of what I have been up to here in my room while it has been so hot outside!   The first one is a note pad holder for keeping your grocery list!  Let me know what you think!
