I made a charm square quilt with the same fabrics and did the meander quilting on my LA machine, my quilt looks just like yours. :) <br />I too have a dress form in my LA room but she doesn't have a dress on (yet) ... I have some of my late Grandma's old "housedresses" and may try one out. Right now I have felted wool purses draped over one of the shoulders and a potato chip scarf around the neck with a matching sock hat perched on top. I love your energy, Kris, you are amazing!!! xo cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-70926285411491147132013-06-30T12:32:19.380-07:002013-06-30T12:32:19.380-07:00Kris,

I have attempted sewing before but need some "formal" lessons, I get frustrated when the string comes off the needle...so I have given up after several attempts, lol, but I just love homemade items. That was so sweet of your blog friend to send those pillows to you. They are beautiful! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904921240840944999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-9661768336821150322013-06-30T12:20:49.383-07:002013-06-30T12:20:49.383-07:00Hi Kris!

It was almost 90 yesterday, but we have 2 ACs going in the house for relief. But we're spending time on the deck and D and K and T are working on building the play structure, I can't wait to show photos of it! I *LOVE* Shell Seekers.. thank you so much!

Maybe if we harvest enough tomatoes in our tiny garden I can be making some of that.

As you know I am preparing to try my hand at this. I may have to ask you a lot of questions as I get going. I think it seems quite fun and somewhat relaxing...I hope I am not sadly mistaken, haha. I LOVE your little lap quilt. I think I am going to make some Christmas tree skirts (as gifts) as some of my first tries. We will see. Got to get my machine first. How I would love that sewing room...it's perfect!

I had to stop to see if I could find hubby an airline flight(he is at SFO and there were no standby seats and no flights on the airline until Monday-they were sold out too). Guess it doesn't save money to fly standby, cause now he'll have to try to purchase a last minute flight and pay big bucks. Anyway, I love your quilt projects and great job machine quilting. I tried it once but hated it, so prefer to sit and stitch by hand.<br />Always love seeing what you are up too.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-85109404977801396072013-06-29T14:22:42.970-07:002013-06-29T14:22:42.970-07:00Great post Kris!

It is always fun to see the things that someone surrounds themselves with that makes them happy in their work space. I love the shutter idea. I have a set that my daughter was going to pitch out. They were once on a closet that she had her dad convert into a bookshelf space. I grabbed up the doors much to my husband's grumbling, "What ya gonna do with those?" I have seen them used in family rooms where you can hang and display family pictures from the louvers, or made into room dividers, etc. Now you have given me another great idea. I haven't been doing much of anything except yard work. It has been hot and steamy here too, the kind of weather that all you have to do is stand in one place and the sweat drips down your face. Our corn fields are not knee high by the 4th of July, but head high from all the rain. I feel for you guys though, it must be so miserable with triple digit temps. <br />Keep cool, <br />Susanne ♥ Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-7391271228378581962013-06-29T12:47:48.138-07:002013-06-29T12:47:48.138-07:00Such a wonderful craft room!
