ANOTHER SNOW/SEW DAY!


 
 It is another snow/sew day today and I have a little of this and that to show you.  Above is my bursting heart that I first talked about here.  It outgrew the pillow form so I made it into a table topper.  Today, I finished the binding.
Yesterday I posted about how to make a pressing bar.  I had a reader write and ask what it was for.  I’m so sorry I didn’t explain it further.  I’ve posted the picture above to show you how I use the bar to press open the seams on my binding.  Hope this clears things up.
Above is a pillowcase that Misti made.  She picked up the kit at the shop.  I love these fabrics.  Thanks for sending the picture Misti.
And this is Moe who insists on sitting on my cutting table and watching me work.  She’s such good company. 

ON ANOTHER NOTE:
  • Bumble Beans has a nice tutorial for making curved geese.  Check it out.
Until next time,

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!
