April Showers bring May Flowers.....

I am all for the May Flowers but when these April showers are threatening to turn in to 2" of snow, I am so over it! Let's hope mother nature takes a turn and the snow misses us.

I have been doing a little sewing this past week along with some customs. Here is a little look of what I have been up to!

This bag is made with some pretty prints from Tanya Whelan of Grand Revival Designs her new Darla Line of fabrics !

I am doing a fun little "Matchy" Dance set with my good friend Sharon of Mimisgirls we will be listing on ebay very soon!

I tried something new for the top closure, I think it turned out pretty cute!
Check out my fun little Easter Pillow Tutorial I did for FaveCrafts.com
You can find the tutorial here!

Hope you have a Happy day! Meg

More Mini Quilts!

I am addicted to these mini quilts they are so cute & fun! Here are a few I sent out for some recent swaps!

I almost kept this one I love the colors & design.

I paper pieced this one using freezer paper! I love this technique!

This one was for a swap using only solid colors! It is called a stained glass.

This is a mini hexagon quilt I received from a swap

I am now inspired to try a hexagon design!

These are mini quilts from my Great Grandmother

These hand sewn Mini quilts were received from my Great Grandmother in 1998. She was in her late 80's when she made these for me. I Love the little note it says

Dear Megan,

I give this pretty gift in every stitch a thought, for hopes you'll like it better, than the one I might have bought.With Love Great Grandma Palsgrove

Have A Happy Friday! Meg

March of Tools

This is my tribute to Heather Bailey's March of Tools!

Check out the March of tools Flickr Group!

My choosen tool is a Singer Ball Bearing Hand Operated Pinker.

My mother is guessing it at around 50yrs old, but we can not place

where we got it from. It has a metal clamp that clamps to the edge of a

table to hold it in place while you crank!

I remember at a very young age sitting at my mothers kitchen table

cranking everything I could through it just to see the wavy edge!

My sons little hands find it just as fascinating!

I have such great memories & now we are creating more!

Have a great day! Meg

My Little Dolly Daisy.....

So it has been a pretty slow week around here not much going on which I guess is a good thing! So today I got the itch to make something, after I took my son to pre school I got to work. I have always wanted to design a doll! After 8 hours here is what I came up with.

(Also in the photo is my new Mushroom I got for my birthday I love it, it is a lawn decoration but I am not sure I can bare to let it outside to get dirty so for now it sits on my counter where I can see it. I think it is the perfect backdrop for my new dolly!)

I named her Daisy!

I love her little red shoes & Pop Garden Dress!

She has flower petal hair.

So I still have some design issues to work out with the overall pattern but I am sure you will see more of these in the near future!

Have a Happy Weekend! Meg

That bag has a great use of angles...love the diamonds and how you continued that in the quilted design on the linen. Where do you get your linen? I have begun to wonder about using linen in some of my projects.
