Quilting and Stitching!

 
 
I can't believe almost a week has gone by since I last posted! Boy oh boy time sure does fly when you are not looking!
 
Since last I posted Isabel has gone back to school, starting her sophomore year in high school. She has gotten herself off the crutches with a lot of determination, but being in school all day is a little hard. She is definitely ready for ice and a little R & R when she gets home!
 
I have been quilting and stitching!
 
A lot of hand embroidery going on here, I will have new patterns to release soon, and one will be a FREEBIE!!  More on that very soon!
 
I have been looking over my Etsy Shoppe and trying to figure out improvements. Mostly I am unhappy with my categories.
 
You know me, I love to do anything and everything, so 10 categories is  just never enough for me!!
LOL!
 
I have also been working away on my hexie quilt whenever I have a spare moment.
 
 
I'm afraid this one is going to be a lifetime project! LOL!
I have 29 flowers done, it will be a twin size. So working in rows across the width, I have 2 and 7-8 rows done. I have been working on this since last spring!
 
What projects do you have going?
 
Blessings,
Annie

Have a fantastic weekend!
Hope you get some time to sew!

Strawberry Lemonade

Is the name of this cute Dresden plate table mat!
 
 
Can you stand the cuteness?
 
I made it from the fabric collection called Sausalito Cottage by Holly Holderman
It is a gorgeous mix of florals and vintage seed packets~ I love it!
This little table mat will be for sale over at PFATT Marketplace on Monday morning.
 
The light pinks just reminded me of pink lemonade. I mixed them with some yellows from my stash and it just looks like summer to me!
 
So of course I had to mix up some strawberry lemonade to sip in the shade on the back porch!
 
I love to make lemonade from scratch in the summer. Here is my mix:
 
5 lemons, juiced
I do this by hand with a wooden lemon juicer. I squeeze them over a strainer into a bowl, this strains out the seeds and most of the pulp.
Pour lemon juice into pitcher and add 2 quarts water
Add 1 cup of organic cane sugar(you can use regular sugar if you like this is just what I use)
Stir well.
Wash lemon and cut into slices. Remove seeds and add to pitcher.
Cut caps off 5 strawberries and add to pitcher. Stir again.
Put ice in a glass, a lemon slice and a strawberry, pour and enjoy!
 
Let me know if you try it!
 
And on a side note, my daughter sent me a picture of baby Amy playing with the bear I made her! Isn't she a cutie!
(the baby AND the bear!)
 
 
Blessings,
 Annie
