"SEWING UP" April...

Good-bye to April.
Thought I better finish up my April posts,
so here is a little of this & and a little of that.


First is the April Dear Jane Secret Pal gift
that I received...I actually  received it a couple weeks ago,
but I forgot to share.

Beautiful fabric, which is actually double the size shown.
I may need to share this with some near and dear
to me, who also has chickens in her kitchen:)
Now to figure out what to make, ummm...
Another super great Red Barn pattern, and
a wonderful April digi card:)
I am so blessed to have such an awesome Secret Pal:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is a picture of the my design wall with
the blocks from the Red & White block swap
of which I was participant.... 

I am considering black sashings and borders
for this one...thinking that black will really make them "pop". 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My April Mug Rug

These are so addictive to make
and soooo very easy & quick.

Take & Go Sewing Kit
and
Needle Case


I have wanted to make this sewing kit "purse" for about 3 years now.
Ever since my Secret Pal made one for me .  (Thanks You Susan)
Finally I sat down and did it!!!  The envelope needle case I have made before.

Here they are open.
I am trying to get a "Gift Stash" created.
So when I need a gift quickly, I might have one on hand:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And last, but not least some visitors
to my backyard this morning.


The BlueJays were feasting this morning.
They must have called a corporate meeting:)
I counted 17 out there at one time, but
couldn't get them all in one picture.





 And then Woody Woodpecker
came and scared all the Jays away.









Don't forget you should be able to click on
each picture to get a better view.

Well that's it for April...
see you in May :)

Hugs & Blessings,
Terry

Great idea to get a gift stash happening, something I need to work on also! Love the chook fabric, but that goes without saying LOL Can't wait to see what you do with it it! The sewing bag looks like a winner. Oh, & the red blocks - yep, agreed, the black sashing is needed.

What a nice interesting post. All your different projects are a feast for the eyes. I especially got a kick out of the roosters. Nifty. Wonder what you will do with them.
Your April mug rug is just too cute! Love it.

Hi Terry,

How nice to be remembered. 8) I've been out of pocket for months now (as you've probably noticed). I've really missed my blogging buddies, but life definitely just takes over sometimes. This is the first weekend we've spent at home in about 3 months. It feels nice to be lazy for a change. 8)

Take care,
Susan in Texas
