A Little Bit Country

Well, i finished it already, Brent told me that it's his favorite quilt so far. I would have to agree. I can't wait to sit on my porch with my dog on a cool summer morning and curl up with this quilt. Mostly all of the fabric was from Mrs. Kimak's stash (thank you thank you). The back is flannel so it gives the quilt some weight, which i LOVE!! It's a little crooked but i think it's pretty darn good considering i didn't measure at all, i just cut stuff and sewed it together, no plan what so ever. Such a rebel, lol.

Bird Silhouette

This weekend i decided to do some applique bird silhouettes for the bedroom, we have lots of black an white photos up and needed some black and white on the bed to even it out. The birds are made from fleece because i find that it doesn't fray. I sewed them on hand cranking with my machine. lol. This white and silver fabric for the pillow and the quilt back was from my friends mothers stash that she gave to me. It ended up being absolutely perfect for this project.


I love the kissing birdies!!

Sewing 1901-2010

This is my beatuy that i sew with, my partner in crime. It was a Christmas present years ago from my mother who taught me how to sew and be creative. I love this machine more than it's probably normal to love a sewing machine.

The next two pictures are of two different Singer Model 127's from 1948. One is old and rusty and the other is in impecable condition and still works. I haven't used it much but it's a beautiful machine.


This is a Singer Model 28 Sphinx from 1901, I got it from an antique store in Two Hills for $5.00. Best sale ever. I find it an incredibly beautiful work of art and wish that everyday items were still made just as tastefully as they use to be.

Last but not least, this blue beauty is a Beacon machine from somewhere around the 1950's, i can't seem to find much information about Beacon's on the internet, so i don't really know much about this machine except that it works but is difficult to thread.
