Thrift store restores

I made this tied tutu last night for a late Birthday present.

Then this is made with some scrapbook paper that I got from a giveaway.

I spray painted an old plaque and glued the paper on and brushed the glue over the top to seal it. Kinda my version of MODGE PODGE.

I painted this old shelf and a plaque and made this set up.

We took our house off the market and wanted to just live here for now and hang up some pictures, here is another scrapbook project.

Silverware that I got FREE. It is Fiesta and I found it on clearance in Macy's and had a promo free gift card!

I am going to accent dining room and kitchen in red white and black.

I found these coffee pot salt and pepper shakers at the antique store. They had an ugly vintage Myrtle Beach sticker, I washed them up and LOVE

the new look!

Made tie backs out of red and whit scraps.

My new quilted kitchen rug!

Some fabric hoops.

I am using the middle fabric to make a table runner it is a linen and I am going to free motion quilt it to get more practice.

Cork paintings from thrift store!

I painted this red from a gold.

And hung it.

Here is my daughters new $8 desk. After trading in some outgrown furniture I paid $8 for this solid wood desk for my BIG girl!

It will be perfect for homescool and has lots of DRAWERS!

This is the pink color Genesis chose to paint her desk. Then the books and papers will be neat and organized!

My first quilt

Here is a picture of my first quilt.

It was fairly easy to make this rag quilt.

I didn't use a cotton thread and it did not hold up really good.

Also I didn't use a big enough table to sew it together and got a lot of pulling from the weight of the quilt.

Flannel is nice, but I didn't use quilter's flannel. I think it would be better.

Here is a more recent baby doll quilt:

And a baby quilt that I did emroidery on.

I loved the Minky back on this!!

This is a post for a parade of quilts!

Progress

Lots of meandering (stitches that cross) and trying to get a good stipple (stitches no clser than 1/4 inch and that do not cross) going here...

But hey, this is my first attempt...

And this thing is huge.

My little beginner sewing machine is doing pretty good in my opinion.

This is my binding cut. I may work on it at my quilting guild meeting tonight.

Also, I dyed my sheets and bed ruffle to match my quilt better, when it is finished. Dusty rose. That is my old quilt, it is store bought.

Fourth Fun

With out words...Fun day celebrating freedom!!
