Friday Update

First I thought I would start by sharing this picture of a quilt that I believe to be made

by my DH's grandmother. It was found among the belongs of a uncle who passed away this pass March. I don't know for sure and no one else seems to know, but from the other quilts

I have seen of hers, this one is her style of quilting. She made the most

of the scraps she had and although they are not perfect or exactly color

coordinated, they were made for use. To keep her and her family warm on some cold nights.

Unfortunately, some of the quilt is in need of repair and I am going to do the best to repair it

for our family.

I have been hiding from my blog lately.....I am thinking I need an overhaul and just not sure where to begin. I call it "Rosinton Cottage" because I live in the little community of Rosinton in Baldwin county, AL. But to tell the true, I haven't done much around and about the cottage lately. Most of my doing has been in the sewing room. So I am posting some pics of what I have been doing lately!

Also I have been a little under the weather, I have RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome) and they have been giving me a lot of pain and sleepless nights. Doctors running test by still have not found

what is going on yet. Go back to doctors this week for more test..OH Boy!!

Here are some pics of Maddie in her "Feliz" from this book. She loves to loved to wear and twirl in her dress.

Also the latest dress I made is her "pumpkin" dress. I wanted to make a fall/Halloween dress without the scary designs. Found this great little pumpkin in Etsy here

Til next time and maybe I will work on that blog restyle....

New Christmas Fabric

Home yesterday from Pensacola and a great sew/quilting shop, A & E Fabric store, actually inside a drug store, but has the largest selection of quilting fabrics I have seen in this area...Mary Jo's would be the next closes I know of...
Had to pick up on a few Christmas fabrics for a Vida dress doing for DGD.

Then ran across a couple of "filler" fabrics for maybe another Vida dress if I don't change my mind..Will post later.

Feliz Sew A Long

It's a "party" dress...that is a "feliz". A sewing forum is hosting a "feliz sew a long" and I am having so much fun now that I have finally picked out my fabrics and got them cut out...here are some sneak peaks...haven't gotten it sewn together yet....what looks like may be sewn is just pinned for the time being until DGD gets to try on and adjust the ruffles and shoulder straps..

Too much sun light in the second picture......truer colors in the bottom pic.

Hope to soon have finished for the weekend!

GPS....

Well if we are going to start traveling one of these days, I needed to get our GPS device to use. Trouble is it wouldn't stay on the dash, so instead of buying one of those holders I decided to make one, seeing I have a closet full of fabric and surely I can find something to stuff it with...and I did find some florist "mung beans" to use. I thought about using rice and then found the beans..I can eat the rice, but not these beans..(for decorating use only)!

So here it is in use and it turned out pretty good for just usings scraps from around the house.

Now to the next project to get us going...still working on the truck camper..must make some curtains next!

Rainy Thursday

We are getting some much needed rain from what was a tropical distrubance in the gulf.

At least it is cooling down the temperature alittle bit!

36th Anniversary

Spent last evening listing the rest of my tableclothes on Etsy. I love selling on Etsy, but it does

take some work. It is so nice to sell something.

Today is my DH and mine's 36th anniversary...so hard to believe it has been that long....boy time flies...we are celebrating by going to lunch and a movie. The movie is something we don't do very often. We say we are going to go for an "outing", which means a movie and a meal, but some how we just end up staying at home..which isn't a bad thing either...guess we are just not as into it "movie going" as we use to be. I kind of like staying in and watching a movie at home...cheaper and no body around to be loud or bother you!
