Stitches and Ditches: Key Chain Tutorial
http://stitchesandditches.blogspot.com/2013/02/key-chain-tutorial.html
Trying to find a way of squeezing more minutes and smiles out of my day. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Old jeans from the scrap bag cut into 2½"x14½" strips. I happen to be fortunate to live with a couple of XXXL guys and I have found that you can get 14 to 15 key chains per pant leg, but really, if they're in the scrap bag, does it matter? Feel good about that! Focus fabric cut to 2½" x 14¼". Steam a Seam Lite or similar fusible cut to 7/8" x 14". 1¼" swivel snap hook. Now its time to slip the snap hook...

http://stitchesandditches.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Trying to find a way of squeezing more minutes and smiles out of my day. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. This was a first. Never did this before.interesting, Olfa blade too. Bright side, new blade is much sharper and may not require me to press down so hard :-). Sunday, October 17, 2010. So I have been known to pick on DH for the number of hours he spends on Craigslist and eBay.I think I'm going to hold my tongue from now on. LOOK AT WHAT HE FOUND! Side view showing tiger grain oak and wood carving. Primiti...

Trying to find a way of squeezing more minutes and smiles out of my day. Wednesday, February 06, 2013. It will be a few weeks more before I have my quilting machine back from repair and although I am sooo tempted to start something new, I am trying to be a responsible quilter and turn my energies to finishing some things up. In my attempt to be organized and ready to pump out some finished projects I have been preparing everything needed to finish the quilt once the big machine comes home. Penny rugs and...

Stitches and Ditches: Fun sewing
http://stitchesandditches.blogspot.com/2013/04/fun-sewing.html
Trying to find a way of squeezing more minutes and smiles out of my day. Monday, April 22, 2013. The challenge for this years May retreat is "Earth, Wind and Fire" meaning you could draw on one or more for your project inspiration. Initially my mind went to my favorite block, flying geese, however it seems my time went flying away with those geese. I needed an alternative quick project so I made this guard owl for next to the front door. I found this pattern from Toad's Treasures. And so cute I might add!

Stitches and Ditches: Wooly work
http://stitchesandditches.blogspot.com/2013/01/wooly-work.html
Trying to find a way of squeezing more minutes and smiles out of my day. Saturday, January 19, 2013. A penny rug I have been working on. Thought the square shapes were interesting to work with and the stars just really made it folksy. Now to decide how to finish it off, since its wool appliqued onto cotton its pretty flimsy feeling, maybe I need to find some nice stiff wool for a backing and add some buttons in the middle of the pennies. Looks great I cant wait to see it completely done!
