Wow, Pennie! Your quilt is amazing. You even painted the logos onto fabric before sewing and quilting! No wonder it takes so long to create. But what a keepsake! Dianne in the Hudson Valley

You all do such beautiful work!
I am currently working on a reusable shopping bag that I am making for a swap partner. I have finished the embroidery and the outside of the bag. Today I would like to finish lining the inside and sew on the straps. Can't believe it is 1 o'clock my time already!! I still have "chores" to do!!

I am going to be making a carpet bag. A friend sent me the directions for an authentic carpet bag made in the 1800's. They are so difficult I cannot follow them. I looked up some directions on the computer and found a site in England that sells a pattern so I sent for that one. I am waiting now for it to arrive. I am anxious to see how it will look like after I finish it. Today I am finishing my Mail Art for April and will be sending it off tomorrow.

I finally finished the string art for my Aunt. The closest thing I can find to this is crewel [a suggestion from another farmgirl] or a sort of embroidery.
Got the flowers and ferns on the front part of the scene.
Just got to frame it now.
Smiles!

Teresa,
It took month's, because I could only work on it an hour a day.
I loved doing it though. It's a form of meditation making all those shapes and using the different colors.

Carla that is really nice. I used to do a lot of crewel work so I appreciate the labor of love that was. I'd be happy with that gift for sure!
I made an apron and laundry powder today. And did a ton of laundry. Again. :)
