Vintage Spool Wreath

June 15, 2016 By Faith Leave a Comment

The ladies of the Quilt Ministry and I have started a sewing ministry. It all came about when Connie became gravely ill a few years back.

It was a scary time first, because my dear friend was so sick, and secondly, I worried about the fact that our quilt ministry would suffer. We still had Barbara, my other precious friend and mentor, who along with Connie keeps us going in the right direction but I feared that Connie might not be well enough to continue on with the ministry. I have come to rely on the both of them as friends and mentors.

My thoughts turned to the fact that sewing is not widely practiced among the younger crowd which made me worry for the future of the quilt ministry. So after Connie recuperated, we sat down and hashed out some ideas for this new ministry. Our church trustees welcomed our proposal for a new ministry with open arms and dedicated a room specifically for us.

Patchwork Star Ornament/Door Hanger from a Vintage Quilt

October 25, 2015 By Faith 2 Comments

This project is in the same vein as the patchwork teddy bear. Just a simple primitive star shape that is stuffed and finished with a raw edge. A torn strip of the binding was used as the hanger.

A Painted Flag

Paint stick flag (1)

Yes, it’s another painted flag with more yet to come later this week! Seems like I’m stuck on painted flags for this year’s 4th of July celebration.

I made this flag years ago out of used paint stir sticks. After their intended use, I sanded off the blobs of old paint just enough to make them smooth and painted them with craft paint. I used six sticks for the flag itself, broke another in half and hot glued those pieces vertically across the back to hold everything in place. Then I drilled two small holes at the top and ran a small wire through for the hanger. The little jute rope with wooden hearts came wrapped around some stationary. Nothing goes to waste around here!

See you tomorrow for more patriotic inspiration! God bless America!

Celebrating America’s Birthday

Scrappy American flag decor

In honor of the upcoming Independence Day holiday, let’s celebrate with a weeks worth of patriotic inspiration. I’m getting a little scrappy for today’s project – as in scrap wood, fabric scraps, and some leftover (aka scrap) paint.

I came across a square piece of plywood in my wood pile that I painted blue and stamped with some stars in white. I drilled a few small holes across the bottom of the wood, tore some red and white fabric scraps to length and inserted them through the drilled holes affixing with a lark’s head knot. I drilled a couple of larger holes at the top corners and fed a piece of rope through knotting it in the front to use as a hanger. Done. Quick and easy.

Join me again tomorrow for another easy project. Happy Birthday, America!!!

xoxo, Faith
