Happy
Blue Monday Everyone!! Thanks Smiling Sally for hosting Blue Monday. After going through my contribution, head on over to
Sally's to visit the other Blue Monday participants.
Today we'll start with Justin's NC Panther's pillow. I started on this pillow way back in December while my dear hubby was home visiting. He sort of suggested I make some Panthers stuff for ' the boy', as he calls him. I made the applique myself from a pic I googled. This pillow is lucky enough to also be a part of the One Project a Month Challenge, and gets on my finished WISP's list. Yeahhh!!!
Okay, so the next item also gets on the One Project a Month board and finished WISP's list. It is a hanging Sunbonnet Sue Quilt. I love Sunbonnet Sue and all of her friends. This started out as a child's quilt, but being self taught I had no idea how hard, but fun, quilting can be when I started it. So since I wanted to go on to something else, but wanted to finish this as well, I decided to make it a hanging quilt. I did the binding last night while watching The Closer marathon. Boy was that hard.
Here's a close up of the blocks. The stitiching on her hat is a stitch I just recently learned on my sewing machine that I had for over 6 years. I have 17 stitches on that machine and have been using only 9. I couldn't figure out how to get to the other 8 stitches until I started on this quilt a few months ago.
She is made out of scraps that I had from other projects. The back of the quilt is made from the dress above.
The background is muslin.
I love the orange dress. So that's my Blue Monday. Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by. And don't forget to go by
Sally's and visit the other participants.
Good morning all. It's been a long time since I've done a blue Monday post, but here it is.

This little boat is a picture holder. A good friend of ours gave it to Anaya over the Christmas holiday because she loved it so much.
I got this vase from my boss. She was cleaning out her office and was about to throw it away. She asked me if I wanted it. Well of course I would take it, and thank you very much. This blue beauty did nothing to warrant being thrown away. I know it will make a wonderful addition to our house somewhere. To see more wonderful pictures of something blue today, head over to Sally's.
Today is Monday, back to work day, and thanks to Smiling Sally, Blue Monday. Sally hosts Blue Monday, and on this day participating bloggers share something blue on their blog. Doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's blue. My favorite color just happens to be blue, so I decided it would be kinda fun to participate. Today I'm sharing the Overalls Bill pillow I made for Justin. The background is blue and the button on his overalls is blue. So now that you've seen my contribution, head on over to Sally's blog to visit the other participants.
