A Little Goth Christmas Apron

Posted on December 17, 2011July 28, 2015 by Martha

Since I finished the Water Drop quilt top one day ahead of schedule, I managed to sneak in one more gift which I thought of in the middle of the night.  This goth-ish Christmas apron is a little extra gift for my son’s girlfriend.  The apron is made from a black sheet, and the 8…

Charley Harper Water Drop Quilt Top – Finished

Posted on December 15, 2011January 6, 2012 by Martha

The Water Drop quilt top is finally finished, and I think it looks pretty good.  I just had a couple of problems.  Although I really like the shading in my background fabric, I wasn’t thinking about how the organisms were going to look as I moved up to the lighter area.  I had to rip…

Vintage-Inspired Christmas Apron and Table Topper

Posted on December 12, 2011January 2, 2017 by Martha

This is supposed to be my next-to-last made gift, although you never can tell with me.  My plan is to spend the rest of this week working on the Water Drop quilt top. Then I’ll have Christmas week to bake and wrap. This is the end of the fabric I used last Christmas to make…

Simple Gifts – 6 Heartwarming Stories by Famed Authors and Illustrators – Continued

Posted on December 12, 2011August 2, 2015 by Martha

Here are my three other favorite short films from this program. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it . . . it’s my nature to try and force others to read, watch and make things that I like. My Christmas (1:38) An entry in the diary of Teddy Roosevelt, age 11 Read by Dean Wareham…

Simple Gifts – 6 Heartwarming Stories by Famed Authors and Illustrators

Posted on December 12, 2011July 28, 2015 by Martha

Gordon and I first watched this PBS program in 1977, a year after we were married.  We loved these wonderful animated shorts, and never forgot them.  PBS at some point produced a VHS copy of this program, but unfortunately it was not broadcast again (to my knowledge) and has never been released on DVD.  Last…

Vintage Fabric Gallery – 1930s Greens

Posted on December 11, 2011May 6, 2012 by Martha

As promised, I have scanned a few of my green Depression fabrics. Some of these tend a little more blueish, while others are more yellow, but none of them are very Christmasy looking. Even so, they’re pretty great. Brenda just asked me how many of the prints are feedsacks, so I thought I would add…

Vintage Christmas Embroidery Transfers

Posted on December 8, 2011May 6, 2012 by Martha

Old Workbasket magazines had a sheet of embroidery transfers (red ink on craft paper) folded and stapled inside the pages.  On one side of the staples was a large sheet of transfers; on the other side was a little section (2 1/2″ x 8″) that had its own unique designs.  I’ve always loved these little…

Cross-Stitched Tulip Quilt

Posted on December 7, 2011March 21, 2013 by Martha

This little throw is made with vintage blocks purchased from Barbara at Oodles.  The blocks were probably from a stamped quilt kit, and they have been stitched with green and a combination of variegated and plain pink floss.  Many times in these old sets the background fabrics are yellowed or stained, but these were in…
