Zipper Bag from a Vintage Quilt

October 3, 2015 By Faith Leave a Comment

Of the two quilts my friend asked me to repurpose, one was a wedding ring pattern. The former colorful patches that made up the wedding ring were almost totally destroyed leaving the white space of the quilt the most intact.

Some of the pattern around the edges was still good enough to use and because I wanted to showcase the patches,

I decided to make a small project – a zipper bag.

(Re) Purposed Sewing

October 3, 2015 By Faith 2 Comments

When I decided to take the challenge to Write 31 Days, I had to consider what topic I was going to cover. The challenge is to write about one subject. My first thought was sewing but that is a very broad subject; I knew I had to narrow it down. The answer came from a good friend of mine – (Re)Purposed Sewing.

Write 31 Days – Taking the Challenge

October 1, 2015 By Faith Leave a Comment

Untitled design (1)

I’m a participant! A tradition started several years ago by The Nester challenges writers and bloggers to consistently write for 31 days straight. Crystal Stine has capably inherited the task of adminstrating this challenge. Go visit here to see a list of participants writing on a plethora of topics. You can find Crystal for a sampling of her own wonderful uplifting stylography.

Admittedly, I had to strongly consider this challenge, mostly from a standpoint of time. I work two jobs, three if you count the sewing for hire that I do. At the moment, the pipeline is cleared so I cannot use that as an excuse to pass up this challenging opportunity.

Neither can I justify the fact that I am so new to this blogging thing to pass the chance by.  I have so very much yet to learn and tweak.  What I have in this little space of mine so far is very elementary at least in some folks mind, but not to me.   I would really like to grow this blog and need to put myself out there for the practice and the hope that I might inspire someone.

I have heard about how hard bloggers work so I am just going to jump right in and see if I’ve got what it takes to actually post for as many of those 31 days as possible.  I know its going to be difficult but I’m going to give it my best shot.

Won’t you join me please for the month of October and 31 days of writing? Of course it will be centered around sewing – my favorite thing to do. I’ll add a link for each day at the bottom of this post so you can come back right here to check out the projects I plan to write about.  Check out all the other great bloggers with whom I have the good pleasure of their company. Thanks for coming along and for your support!

xoxo, Faith

Brown Quilt

Brown quilt (1)

Hello, fellow quilters. Thought I would pop in to show you another brown quilt top that I had completed in the early spring.  As I mentioned in this post, I had a lot of browns in my stash for making quilt tops for our Prayer Quilt Ministry. On this top, I used a fair amount of browns while throwing in some orange along the way – a perfect quilt for fall.
