I promise I’ll post pictures of our place soon, but here are some shots I took on the drive up of our new home. Enjoy! (and ignore the bug guts on my windshield).
Cupcake Potholders
31
Aug
During my last week in Tennessee, in between packing and painting, I did a tiny bit of sewing. I decided my new apartment would need some new kitchen potholders! I used two different patterns from my two sewing books that were birthday presents: One-Yard Wonders and Amy Butler’s In Stitches. The fabric came from my stash. The pink cupcake fabric and brown polka dot material comes from Jo-Ann’s. The colorful stripes fabric was a clearance fabric at Hobby Lobby.

My dear friends, Lelia, Katie, and Misty, took me to the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum last Saturday, August 21st. It was wonderful.

A Quilter’s Ark and The Perfect Apron.

I had to visit my beloved Jo-Ann’s one last time before leaving for Michigan. I wasn’t expecting to purchase much, but I think the Devil was at work with a new shipment of fabric. Read the rest of this entry »
Bible Story Quilt

Aug
A missionary came to our church in Tennessee (West Hills Presbyterian). He had a Bible story cloth with him. The International Mission Board makes fabric panels of forty-two pictures of stories from the Bible. These panels are used to spread the gospel to the non-literate peoples of the world. Missionaries teach the stories of the Bible using the pictures printed on the fabric. Each panel comes with a paper listing the corresponding scriptures.

I absolutely LOVE my paper craft book from Japan. Thanks, Jeremy and Kristin!
aren't they pretty?
Misty already requested some in yellow for her bulletin board. I’m too happy to oblige!

More Lanyards

Aug
My sewing circle (and English teacher friends) decided to tackle lanyards. I made each one of us a cupcake lanyard for our school IDs and keys. This way my sewing circle friends can remember me when I’m in Michigan.
Cades Cove

Aug
Before Brendan left for Illinois/Michigan, I asked him to take me to Cades Cove one last time. He was happy to oblige since it meant he got to drive his new truck. =-P
