Adding the Binding from Life in the Scrapatch


I have added the binding to my current project!


I am really turning a corner in my quilty life with this project.

Tomorrow I shall hand stitch the binding to the back.

I love to do a hand stitched back binding.
It is such a peaceful and happy way to end a project,
sitting an sipping a cuppa and stitching.

Sweet Quilty Dreams!

The Daily Blog for 2019 ~ Day 365 of 365 from Life in the Scrapatch



Today is the last day of the year,
 a time to reflect, give thanks and look forward.

At the beginning of 2019 I decided to challenge myself:

"I am going to make an effort to post everyday for 365.
Most days may just be a photo or short message.

My plans are to take things one day at a time
and one stitch at a time for 2019.


I have resolved not to make any resolutions 
but to sew and stitch whatever catches my interest at any given time ... 
which is pretty much what I always do in my sewing ...

Freebie Christmas Countdown # 10 ~ Decorating the Outdoors with Wildlife Gifts from Life in the Scrapatch


Gifting Gifts of Love for Winter Wildlife Friends

My mother always told me her grandmother told her,
"Feed the birds and you will never go hungry." 
My great grandmother survived epidemic and famine 
and being cast out of her homeland with only one younger sister 
when she lost the rest of her family
and she helped raise my mother.
My mother taught me to string popcorn, 
make peanut butter pinecones 
and suet balls and decorate a tree outdoors.

I Like Thursday # 36 ~ Home Sweet Home from Life in the Scrapatch



I like to be Home.

I have been home since late Sunday night and have been doing lots of snuggling 
under the quilts with the kitties. 


Katniss, who is older and whom we have had the longest,
met us at the door with her big eyes.
Katniss takes these things in stride.

My Boys  alternate house sitting, coming and going and feeding and petting them.

All My Kitties love My Boys. 


My kitties are happy we are home.

Nutmeg has strong memories of a traumatic life in shelters
or being abandoned by someone she loved.
When we came in she ...

Sitting at Home and Christmas Stitching from Life in the Scrapatch


I am making progress with my Vintage Christmas Cross Stitching.

I started this project last December and after much thought ... 
I decided to use the blue Aida 11 that had been in my closet for years.


The pattern is 

This year when it came time to stitch the motifs,
I decided to limit my color palette to white, red, green, golden yellow
 and gingerbread brown.

My motifs are a variation of those in the pattern.
Some of the changes are intentional,
some are a "design option" created by a counting miscue,
like the left ...
