Finished Hat. And some inspiration.

Here's my first birdie hat. The only thing I'll change next time is to use a darker thread for stitching the bird to the hat. Otherwise I love it! And it was easier than expected. Expect many more of these in the Etsy shop soon.

Current obsession: fabric. In particular, Michael Miller Carnival Bloom. LOVE this print.

Pillowcases and a Bib

Having fun sewing and spending time with the kids. We all had supper at the Prairie Schooner this evening. Yummy steak! The kids were very well behaved. The kids go back to MN tomorrow, boo-hoo.

Hat In Progress

It's Sarah here, posting from hot and muggy Minnesota.

I'll be contributing to the blog periodically - my knitted items will also be for sale in the Etsy shop. Here's a hat I'm creating for my friend Ingrid's daughter. She's the "guinea pig" so hopefully it turns out well. If so, I plan to sell these for fall. I'm using bulky Lamb's Pride hot pink and chocolate brown and will add a felt bird applique to add a little flair!

Stop back to the blog often for project and shop announcements. Since our shop is so new, help us grow by recommending us to friends and family. Thanks!

Bright Color Quilt Top

Gaylene (sis-in-law) asked for a quilt top from left-over fabric from Mollie's quilt. Her mom will quilt it. Gaylene is doing a booth at the Morgan County Fair and she is going to auction it for the Relay for Life. I think it turned out pretty cute!
