Wool "Crazy Quilt" wall hanging...


Trying to get rid of scraps !! Oh..I think they reproduce on their own.... :)
I clean out my scraps over and over and the pile never seems to diminish....Soooo..
I started cutting pieces of my scraps and hand stitching together and ..VOILA ! this is what I came up with...I want to make another one, but with more muted colors...I like the bright multi colored things to decorate my craft room with....
you should try it...Dig into those scraps and just start sewing together and see what you come up with !!
Hugs,
Robin

A little organizing....a little moving around.....









Every so many months, I have to totally re-organize my craft area.... I am officially going to call my space, my "studio" .... Why ?? Cause I like the sound of that better....When I say craft room, I think of hot glue guns, lace, duck stencils and straw hats and plastic flowers.....lol
I bought a black bookcase to display my wool and I'm looking for primitive cubbies to display my cotton print fabrics and homespuns..
Thanks for peeking !

My tiny bit of Easter Decorating ....




I don't have alot space or areas ( cabinets, shelves, etc ) to decorate for Spring or Easter ...I downsized some of my furniture for need for room to move around....lol
So...I wanted to at least see some Easter decor, so I threw things together in my craft room...so I get to look at it....:)
I'm working on re-organizing and re- decorating my little " studio".....I need help ...I have a vision, and know what I want, but just have nowhere around here to find what it is I need...grrrrr.. Who knows ?? I am not giving up ....
Hugs,
Robin

Found a Rug Hooking Class nearby and some new goodies...








I am so excited to say that after much google-ing and searching, I actually stumbled upon a nearby rug hooking class !!
The woman who owns a small quilt shop ( part owner ) I happened upon in a little town not too far from us called Pittsfield, Pa. , is holding one in late Spring...
I was initially just l;ooking for some wool yardage and this was the only place I could find within a 100 mile radius....So after finding her shop and finally being in "wool heaven" , I mentioned how it is my dream to learn to rug hook...Well dontchaknow, she is going to be holding a class soon..I almost fell over....so anyways, I did some shopping while I was there and we also stopped at another great Primitive shop in Corry, Pa. called " Something Special "..I grabbed a few things there also....
It was such a nice day even though the weather was awful..It was cold, rainy, windy ...just plain wet wet wet and cold!!
Hugs my friends !!
