My sewing project for Monday

This is my project for today is to finish my pincushion that my quilt ladies did in the post below. I will post a pic of my finish work. I wanted to show you the fabric I chosen. I love the browns and hints of blue flowers. I am excited to sew this up!

A little tip see in the picture that I used the new cutting knife that you place you figure in to have better control cutting which I use for my scrapbooking and cardmaking projects. Well you see I couldn't find my rotary cutter so I had to use this and I have to say it was great, it cut the fabric like butter and I had better control of my cutting.

You can find this knife at you local scrapbooking store, for under $5.00's what a deal.

Quilt Group Project

Here are some pictures of our Quilt Group Ladies pin cushions that we made and had a show in tell a couple of weeks ago.

I believe this picture speaks for itself FREEDOM

Here are the cards that I said I would post. Enjoy

MORNING here from the White Mountains of NH, all is still asleep here expect me. I am enjoying my first cup of coffee and blogging this morning. I wish I was out yard sales but not today to much to do around home.
We are going to work some more on our living room walls today and hopefully finish getting the garden ready to plant. What a job and also loving it.
Here are some cards I made the other day please don't look to closely at the picture not a great one but still wanted to share them.
Be right back have to post of the other computer so stay tuned.

Pretty soon this is where you will find me and my girls up at Margie's Camp soaking up the sun and visiting with our favorite lady. I love to go up to the camp and listen to the water smack itself and it's pure country living.

Work I did up at Maine

Here is a stitchery I did while I was up at Maine helping my mother and brother out. It's a Christmas Blessing stitchery, I don't know yet if I am going to frame it or make a long pillow.

My daughter was laying on the floor watching me, not a good pic of me but great times at grams.

I still have to finish the little x's I scattered all over the picture not sure what color yet to stitch them?

June is a hard month for me, mostly because it host Father's Day and my Father's Birthday at the same time.
Here is a picture of my father George Tilley Sr. he was in the Navy, he has passed away and is resting since 1994, but June is bittersweet for me. Lots of wonderful memories of my dad, also it's my birthday month to. To think about him seeing me born and holding me in the same month is heart breaking. I love my father and miss him deeply.
Let's remember to celebrate our fathers even if they are gone from us now we can still remember and celebrate them.

love this photo out side our supermarket

I'm back (i think)

Sorry I have been gone from this blog in a long time, since I got home from taking care of my mother in Maine I have been right out straight. With catching up on all that I left behind bill, housework, projects, ripping wallpaper off, teenagers, my mans work schedule. Life seems to be slowing down now that I took the time to get caught up. Now I can blog about life and happenings around our home and primitive side.
First let me tell you that we got a new baby in our family. And she is driving me nuts she loves my studio/craft room and already has destroyed brand new scrapbook paper, ribbon and more. But she is so cute we love her!! I will post a pic soon I have to run to the other computer and email it to myself.

I did have time to go yard sale shopping I had so much fun with my daughter Olivia, it was great I got 8 chairs, birdcage, candle holder, old books, wash tub small one, fabric. Loved it. I am so ready for this season of morning collecting has I call it. There is nothing like cool crisp summer morning and a cup of hot coffee and pocket full of change.

Much more to tell you and show you, my kitten needs some attention right now, she won't let me type. bye

Here we are up in Maine, starting from bottom left is Emilee, Dylan, my mom Ada, Olivia-top left, my twin brother Peter, his wife Crystal and me Peggy.

Sweet 16 girl Olivia

Well I am home from Maine, I have been there for a long time taking care of my ill mother and visiting with my family. Oh how I missed my family who I left behind to help my mother. My husband missed his wife, and mother of his girls, see men do need us. I did get home in time for my oldest daughters Sweet 16 th birthday, Olivia we celebrated going out to eat, and cake, gifts. She and I are planning a friend birthday party for later on this month. I can't believe is May is already here, I had so much I wanted to get done in April but now I am mapping out a game plan for fixing up the yard, planting my first garden and deciding where to make my flower garden.

I did work on some stitchery while I was away, I will have pics for you soon they are on my daughters camera.

Oh I can't wait to show you, my mother gave me her old wash board that she starting using when she was first married at the age of 16, she is now 71 years old, and she even washed my clothes on it when I was a baby. gold mind.....
