It was a good week. I feel refreshed and reinspired to sew.
I started with a few caps for Soulemama's new project Mama to Mama - Connecting families through the handmade. I love projects like this. Here are the caps I made. I wish I would have had some cuter t-shirts to use. I might drop by my local thrift and see if I can find some pretty stripes or printed children's shirts to use.
I finished my block for my Sew Connected group. This is Buffy's block. You can see all the blocks being made here.
I've been a busy Christmas elf too. My gifts for my partner in Chookyblue's SSCS are completed, wrapped and on their way to my partner. My happy little elf lips are sealed. It's a secret, you know. Since I can't show you those gifts, here's a bit of early Christmas cheer, a finished Santa's workshop quilt and a couple of Annalee dolls that I picked up at my fav vintage store this weekend.
Let's stay with the Christmas theme...finished several packs of cards. Used one of these packs as a hostess gift on Saturday. They are a wonderful project to use up those scraps of vintage sheets.
Lastly, it's been an exciting week for Tallgrass Prairie Studio. My Steely log cabin quilt was featured on Craftzine and my Music is Life mini quilts displayed on the vintage windows were featured on Craftgossip. I'm a happy camper.

Congratulations on being "published" on the web. That is great, and you deserve the recognition for your work.
You're motivating me to get going on some Christmas gifts!! And congrats on the web celebrity-dom!
The window in the block is a nice touch. I think I'll have to make some of these quilted cards as gifts. Great idea.
It great to have you back. I missed you. I kind of took a little unplanned break too, I just didn't feel like writing anything.
I love those cards! Congrats on all the publicity !!
I mailed my hats off too. All I have to say, my machine is not meant for knitted materials.
Have a good day!

Jacquie,
you always fuul of ideas...awesome!
Btw, I wanna ask you.. Is binding strip need to feel with dacron too so it would also puffy?
The second...
Did you there buy filler for your quilting, also dacron and had already layered by the factory or still like cotton? I had ever seen in someone's blog it was like a layer. Here, I found it just like cotton, not layered product.
Thank you as always :)
I love the pillow. Great design. I have to implement your disciplined approach to holiday gifts.
oh my!! such wonderful goodies to show!!
great job on all.
See I said you are an artisan....do you believe moi now?
