We are enjoying a very wintery three day weekend here in beautiful Mt. Shasta, CA. Brrrrr! As you can see, the birds are fluffed up trying to stay warm.

| These cute little pincushions are made from plastic bottle caps. I made them to give as gifts to friends. The link below is to Craftysylish where you can find easy to follow directions: |
This next picture is of the unembellished crazy quilt block I will be sending off on a round robin for others to decorate.

I recently joined the Yahoo group, Crazy Quilters International. What a fun, busy group. There are lots of wonderful links, blogs, and a message board. They also host swaps, challenges, contests and round robins. I'm sure there is more too, that I have yet to discover. If you like this kind of thing, it is very exciting.

Finally, I want to share this blast from the past- a handmade, crazy quilted skirt. The entire thing was sewn with feather stitch using double knit fabric.

| Tammy spent nine months sewing this skirt and then she wore it to a friend's wedding. As you can see, 40 years later, it still fits! Way to go Tammy!!! |
Katy, the bottle cap pin cushions are so clever. You find the most interesting projects and make them so beautiful. I will check out the link to see how you made them. Hope you are having fun and thanks for sharing!

Cute pincushions! I'll have to try some of those :)
ReplyDeleteLove the block you made up for the RR, lovely colors and fabrics!
Great post! Brrr! weather. Spring has found NC. Hurrah! I love your block. I checked the rotation and I'll be third to embellish it. Any particular thing you looking for? Theme? I like Tammy's skirt too. What a flashback! I've tried some of the pincushions,no where as cute as yours.
ReplyDeleteLove the pincushions! How are you enjoying the snow, it's another winter storm here that just started a few minutes ago. Spring please!
ReplyDeleteWow the skirt. I don't know what else to say!
What a flashback! my mom made us both a skirt just like that with jeans material when I was in grade school!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you chose for your RR square, it's going to look lovely when you get it back!
