Snowman Door Hanger

I worked on these diligently before Christmas and just had to stuff them and sew them up.  Didn't happen in time for Christmas

But snowmen are winter things.  Right?

These were so much fun to work on.  I found the pattern out of an issue of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.  It is by Kim Diehl.

You can do the pattern to and it can be found at Allpeoplequilt .

Hand Sewing Tools Organized

A little more organization in my sewing room.  Organization is such an ongoing process.  I like the suitcase my friend gave me for my appliqué but I don't like not being able to see in it or be limited for the amount of things.  Sometimes I want to add beads and such and that really bulks up the suitcase.  So, now, I have switched.

I like my new plastic case.  I can add or take away as needed.  That means if I need my beads to go on some appliqué thing, I can just add them on.

My practice rug mug here.  I did some needle turn appliqué and wanted to practice before I did my bigger piece.  More on that later.
