Furniture and a finish from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

We finally purchased new furniture several weeks ago. I thought it would motivate me to "decorate" the living room. I can't seem to pull it together to accomplish that, but I did finish two pillows. And took pictures of them. In place. On the sofa. Amazing, right?

These are small Norman Rockwell panels that I bought ages ago. I always intended to make pillows but that just didn't happen. They sing on the new deep gray leather. Because the pictures are of boys doing boy things, I just couldn't resist. I also love Rockwell's work thanks ...

I May Have A Scrap Problem... How About a Tutorial, and a Giveaway Winner? from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

BUT - I did make a fun pillow this month using some random yardage from my stash, and I thought it would be a useful tutorial to share with you.

Wednesday's Word and Wrap Ups. Pressing On. from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Wednesday's Word

Many years ago, my family lived in Okinawa, Japan. One of the missionaries, Majetta Morris, shared this with me: "There is no safer place to be than waiting on the will of God."

I cannot tell you how many times her words from so many years ago have blessed, strengthened and encouraged me. Thank you, Majetta. Thank you, LORD, for sending her into my life!

My Day of Dusting off a Quilt Book from Stitchin at Home

It's my day too show ~~an old~~ a forgotten quilt book. This blog hop is being hosted by Beaquilter. The idea was to dust off, excuse me while I find the duster it's around here some place. Ahh dust bunnies be gone. Anyway the idea was to make a project from it.

After doing a big clean a few years ago, I thought I had given away my older quilt books. Imagine my surprise at finding a book from 1994. I think I kept it as I liked a couple of the projects in it.

Monday's Strength. Book Dating. Pressing On! from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Monday's Strength

I picked up this lesson from Jana Alcorn's book, Don't Throw in the Towel, Hope Again. She pointed out that perhaps by Hezikiah turning to the wall, he was turning away from distractions. Let us prayerfully turn into our wall and away from whatever may be distracting us from our precious LORD's voice. Then, after meeting with the Source of our strength, we can courageously fight the good fight (1 Timothy 6:12).

Pillow finishes from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

I couldn't write about these finishes before Christmas as they were gifts for the daughters-in-law. First the backstory: I made a pillow for our living room like one I saw on Pinterest, and they all said how much they liked it. So, I put that on the to-do list and finished just before Christmas. In fact, it was so close that, except for a photo shoot, they didn't make it off the worktable.

Rich just took them from the studio and handed them out. Unwrapped. Unceremoniously. "Here you go. DeeDee made these." Well, at least I got credit ...

One pillow or two? from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

As promise earlier in the week, I want to show you the pillow I made for a customer. Her sister lost a child recently and she had a couple of his favorite tee shirts, which I quilted and made into one pillow.

I used the backs of the shirts because both had beautiful wing motifs and challenged myself to use the wings for the quilting.

The backing is this green/beige knit that was in my stash. It worked quite well and didn't pucker at all despite having a good bit of stretch to it.

The background has a ...

Top 5 DIY Festive Pillows from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is get together with my family, and spend a day decorating the house while listening to Christmas music. We always split the tasks within our household. My mom always decorates the tree, my dad puts up the Christmas lights outside, and I”m always in charge of decorating the inside of the house. ‘Till this day, I love making my home feel all cozy with our festive table runners, fancy dinner plates, and filling the house with vanilla cinnamon spiced candles!

Scraps! We've all got them, and no matter how hard we work at it, they never seem to go away, do they? Well, today I'm going to share something a little different, but it's a technique you can use to use up those scraps, too, so it's all good!

I love the Target Dollar Spot. Every time the season changes, they put out new two packs of kitchen towels. For $3, you can get some really cute stuff - usually one towel with a saying on it, and one in a coordinating print. I love ...
