It's a pumkin patch!

Once again it was a NO SEW kinda Sew Crafty Girls night!! Norma has her house all decked out in fall decor. That is what happens when you retire and work at Craftique Mall you are motivated for seasonal decorating. Here is what we planned for the evening.

Then we began with instruction. You can use any size bowl to outline a pattern on to your fabric. We used 3 differny sizes. We had fall color/pattern choices for the circle fabrics. Then we chose 3 twigs Norma gathered up for free while waiting for her grandson at the soccer games. We needed felt leaves, flower wire, glue, stuffing, heavy thread, and these:)
Check them out, do you remember Winns?

Here we are working after our long day of work still loving every minute of it.
Inez we missed you!




This is our youngest memeber Mady with the pumkin patch...

Welcome fall, I just wish it were cooler here in San Antonio.

No sew flower power!

It's been a while since our last post. Sorry ladies it's been a difficult without my dad trying to get back in the groove of things. Then we moved into our new home in August. I missed Sew Crafty Girls' night but, here are some picures of the awesome work!
Charlene, Inez and Sofia (can you believe Sofia has sold about 20 no sew flowers)

Finished work!! There are many uses for the no sew flowers as you can see here. You can use them in yoour hair, on a purse, on your jacket, on your stadium seat and the list goes on...

March sewing circle

Howdy all!  I've been following blog land forever and always wanted to create one.  I'm not a writer I was more of the "math" girl in high school.  So this leads me to the reason behind the blog.  This blog is all about our sewing circle here in San Antonio.  We are a group of ladies girls who get together once a month and create a little something.  Ideally I'd like all the girls to write in this blog so let's hope it works out that way. This month's sewing circle was an egg runner.  Here are some pictures of us working up a storm.  Enjoy!!

Inez perhaps egg can be a bikini?
