On the go!

Recently, I added some remnants to my stash and had so many possibilities of things that could be made with it! Seeing all of the fabric into a big pile just puts a smile on my face.

There is a craft fair coming up at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds on May 4th and 5th. I adore this fair. I grew up going to and competing at this fair. I had received many ribbons from this fair. How could I stay away? That's right! ThistleFire will be there! OK, time to make the list of what to bring. Let's see, a bunch of my Car Seat Cozies, of course... a couple of quilts... some scarves... scented pot holders would be nice...

Awesome! I had to get out my patterns!

Double Delight - Close Ups

The sun finally came out from behind the clouds today! And quilts look amazing in the sun! Take a peek.

The front, or at least most of the half of the front...

Virtual Garage Sale - Make an offer

These sets are the oldest ones I own and have had a lot of use. I was experimenting with different ways to mount the stamps on the blocks and may not have cleaned the stamps as soon as I should so some of them are stained. But they still work and would love a new home.

Car Seat Cozies - Quick Peek

The Car Seat Cozy has been checked out by quite a few people now and I am getting favorable responses over it! This means I must make many more. Some of the color combos I have put together are rather interesting. Here is a peek of a few in the works-

 the "sizzlin' western" look

 

 

 the "fab flowers"

 

 

 

and the "cool blue cogs"

 

 

Well, that is what I got cut up in my sewing room at the moment. Another night, I'll sew them all together with the wonderful flannel backing and there will be cozies ready-to-go. It's always a good time to be cozy! Which fabric is your favorite?

New! The Car Seat Cozy

Developed in my sewing room for you and your kids!

 

I was talking to a few people about this idea that I had. I asked some moms about the practicality of a blanket that can be used to cover a child while in a car seat. The responses I was getting were favorable so I began to develop it and here it is!

 

Don't you love this color scheme that is so bright and fun? Who says winter has to be dull? The back is lined with warm flannel in a toasty, chocolate brown and is soft enough for the most tender face. It's so cozy, I want one for myself! The unique part is there is an opening in the center (along the orange pieces) so the car seat buckle can be snapped in to keep your little one secure and to keep the cozy in place. No more kicking the blanket off with wiggly feet.

Speaking of feet - I made the top binding nice and wide. You can always tell which side goes by the face.

Nothing worse than putting the stinky-feet end of a blanket by your nose.

 

So there it is! Let me know if you want one. This size (32"high x 29"wide) is $29. Other color schemes can be done upon request, but not every scheme can be made forever. I only have so much fabric! Tell me your favorite combination and I'll make it happen. Can be made taller, for older kids, for an additional cost. 

 

Casserole Carrier

We made Casserole Carriers in the quilting club I belong to. They were really pretty! Check mine out. I have a 9x13 baking pan in mine that is full of Apple Crisp that I made to bring to a birthday party for my Dad.

The Ring-cupine

When you need a pin, keep them right at your fingertips.

The pins won't poke through but will be nice and secure in the Ring-cupine until you need them.

Wear it at the cutting table or at the machine. So easy to pull a pin out or tuck one away.

 

 

I make these and am offering them at $5 each. Custom made with your favorite color fabric.

Leave a comment here or email me to let me know how many you would like to get.

We can work out the payment online! This is a great gift for you and for your crafty friends!
