Glorious Day

Hi. It is a glorious day of the Lord! Wow, I just got back home from church. It was a great message and wonderful songs to our Lord Jesus. I so much enjoy seeing my friends, and my family members there all together. We have such a great place to worship our God.
We are in Revelation, and it is great to hear the news of our Lord Jesus Christ who is coming for his people.

I love Autumn time, and we are in it now. Beautiful trees changing color, and the coziness of putting on a warm sweater in the morning, especially a Sunday morning. I hope it is cozy and beautiful where you may be too. As for my sewing projects, here is where I am with my new quilt I'm working on.

 They are a bunch of 6 inch squares that came together to make this twin size quilt. As you will notice, I still do the pinning with safety pins, haven't started using the new adhesive sprays on the market, but maybe I will try it out sometime. Any helpful hints are welcome.
I tried to stay in the pinks, mauve, color palate but threw in some yellow and light blue. I'm thinking of putting some yellow for the binding. We will see how it turns out.
Since I haven't put anything new into my store for some time, this one will be going for sale on my
Etsy shop.

"Hi everyone, Mom has her camera again."

Here is my sweet lab, he loves my attention.  Always wants to play with me, Who could resist this face?

Well, hope you all have a glorious Sunday. It's off to the kitchen to prepare some brunch for me.

Hopefully I will get a chance to work on my quilt today.

Keep looking up to the sky! KS 

Joyful sounds!

Joyful sounds of my big wind chime outside my house is so lovely.  My favorite place to sit is on my park bench after a long walk back home when the two of us can hardly wait to get there after we walk up to 2.5 miles. Something about wind chimes like this makes me happy :).

 It is starting to remind me of the pretty times of fall. Already I see pumpkins coming in at our local Trader Joe's store. It's wonderful and I'm thinking pumpkin bread, hmm, so good! Our weather this week is great, sunny and a slight wind. The cool breeze is very welcomed, such a blessing!

As for my sewing, I started on a new quilt, and can hardly wait to finish it. I have another one that needs quilting, very soon I hope. It seems that I have little projects always going around here, its either hand sewing, embroidering, or sewing hexagons . I also just finished and sold a very cute skirt to a lovely lady. Sorry but I completely forgot to take a pic of it. Oh well.

I'm looking forward to attending the Pacific International Quilt show this year, it's held in October and in the city of Santa Clara, the place where you find "Great America" the amusement park. A fun place to go if you haven't gone yet. Can hardly wait for the quilt show!! All the vendors, quilts and people to see, it's amazing!

Here is a pic of my doggy, he got a new toy yesterday.

"Love it mom"

Time to go do some sewing, Adieu! KS

Happy Labor Day!

 Hi. It's good to get back to my computer and write a little bit. I know it's been a while. Today I'm just hanging out at home all day, so I used my labor day to finish up this really nice bag. It is from Lisa Liams, A bag for all reasons book.
 I found the fabric at Birch fabric store. I visited the store a few weeks ago and spotted this left over piece of fabric, I new it would be nice as a purse or bag and here it is, just finished it today and so happy about that.

The lining is also a  nice color of blue. The bag was pretty easy to assemble once I got all the pieces cut out and labeled. Then I used many of my saved up magnet closures, D rings, all the metal pieces were recycled from old purses. It feels great to finally use up these items that I saved for a new bag and I love it!, what do you all think?

Here is a pic of a little dress I made for a little girl who turned 2 years last week and just loves the Cars theme.
Of course I said yes to the request for a dress. I added some bows, and checkered fabric. I think it is very cute and easy to wash and wear, just what little 2 year old's need.

Cute little dress

 Something I enjoy is baking. I especially love the smell of the cooked peaches, or apples. It reminds me of being home, a calm time, Here I made a peach pie. I'm still working on getting the crust just right, it always seems to be the most difficult for me. Any hints are welcome. Take a break and enjoy a piece of pie. Keep looking up at the sky. KS

My favorite is peach pie!
