SIMPLESEW: A STITCH IN TIME FEBRUARY

About my header

My shed is my header by my son Darrell, He painted the Robin for me and said that it reminded him of me. Because Robins use other birds nest and if there is an egg in it, they will take care of it just like its their own. He said thats what I do, I have always taken care of others in need of a home when I come across someone in need. Isnt that Sweet, I had told him I wanted a bird and this is the one he chose. Robins have solid blue eggs which are the symbols for him and his brothers and the speckled egg are the others I have taken into my home. It was very touching to me because he researched his piece, He is a true artist and has lots of great jobs. my neighbor had hers done to

SIMPLESEW LINKING UP WITH A STITCH IN TIME

I FINALLY COMPLETED A MINI WALL QUILT FOR MY DIL, ITS A PICTURE OF HER PREGNANT IN HER COWGIRL BOOTS, I STAMPED LIBERTY'S NAME ON IT, WHICH IS THE BABIES NAME. I CROSS STITCHED A LITTLE HEART, QUILTED THE BACK FIRST AND MADE LITTLE TRIANGLE POCKETS ON THE BACK TO INSERT A STICK IN IT FOR HANGING. I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY CARRIE PAYNES BELIEVEMAGIC HERE IS A LINK TO HER GALLERY PAGE FROM ONE OF HER SHOWS. THE FABRIC FOR THE BODY MADE ITS ON FACE DESIGN, IT WAS STRANGE, NEXT TIME I WILL PAY CLOSER ATTENTION. I LOVE THIS RED BRICK FABRIC, IT SYMBOLIZES A LOVE STORY TO MY SON AND HIS WIFE. THEY WROTE THEIR NAMES ON A BRICK WALL WHEN THEY BECAME ENGAGED. I AM GOING TO POST ON FLICKER NOW.
