Embellishing FUN

I am trying to complete all of our projects that we started at the quilt retreat. Today I finished embellishing the wool pincushions that we made. These turned out so very cute. The color's in the pictures don't give this pincushion it's due justice. I truly love this little project! Wish I needed more than one just so I can see the colors meld together. Yummy!

Happy Anniversary

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

TO ME! AND MY HUSBAND

This month my husband and I will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been that many years. I don't feel old enough to be married for that long. I am sure I was a child bride when I got married. Ha Ha. Anyway, I was able to choose my anniversary gift. Below are pictures of my new Janome!!!!

Am I lucky or what?

I am so excited to start sewing with it. It has a great applique stitch and some different decorative stitches that I haven't had before. Fun, Fun. Isn't my husband great? I made a great choice 27 1/2 years ago. Thanks honey!

Notice the great felted wool pincushions! We made these at our recent quilt retreat. If you would like to make one for yourself, go to Quilt Taffy blog for the website of the creative lady who is selling the kits for these. They are so easy to make. Thanks to Betsy for showing us how to make them.
