Welcome to my blog...it's day 2 of the Think Ruffles blog hop
organized by the amazing Mdm Samm at SewWeQuilt and
Amy at SewIncrediblyCrazy. Both are amazing cheer leaders.
Thank you ladies for all your hard work!!
My first project is a clothes pin bag...I just love hanging my laundry outside.
When I lived in Canada...
one of my neighbours commented many times...on how neat my clothes line looked.
The socks were always pinned in pairs and
the heels always facing in the same direction.

I have always had a clothes line until we moved to Michigan.
I do cheat and hang my laundry on 2 portable lines
on our covered deck.
Am I crazy??

Am I crazy??
I will have a real clothes line at my next house...for sure!!
We have a Home Owners Association now and
we am not to hang laundry outdoors in our subdivision...
I think they refer it to be...unsightly!!!

I knew I wanted to make a ruffled Tammy bag and
I've made lots of them using Mdm Samm's pattern but these

They make the perfect sewing bag.
Luv the lambs on the bag on the left...too cute!
I really should have taken a picture of the inside...it's soft pink with lots of little lambs.

The last of my projects...a tea towel...and after I made one...
I had to make another...
when I found some black gingham for the trim...I luv them both!!
I do not have a red kitchen...maybe I'll have a red kitchen in my next house.
All the fabrics for the projects and the tea towels...from IKEA, were from my stash.
The panel had 15 chef designs.
I don't remember buying it so it has been in my stash awhile.
It's called Chefs International by South Sea Imports designed by Tara Reed.
I hope you enjoyed my ruffle projects.
Remember to visit all the ladies ruffling with me today
leave them a sweet comment...make their day!!

Your projects are all so pretty and the clothespin hanger is so cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI adore your ruffled projects. It is my decision that ruffles are fabric's way of smiling. Thank you sew very much for Hopping...
ReplyDeleteSew pretty projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat great ruffled projects! My kitchen is sort of neutral, but I spiced it up with art glass hanging lights. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your projects, that clothes pin bag is just the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteLove your projects. I want those chefs although my kitchen is blue/grey. I live in the country and feed birds so no I don't hang out my laundry. It would be covered with you know what.
ReplyDelete(Outdoors, of course! Well, not during the winter... I'm a fair-weather clothesline user...) love, love, love your pin bag! Perfect for Spring!! All of your projects are wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteWaouh, you were very creative and productive! Your clothespins hanger made my day, it is GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects Pauline. Love all those ruffles.
ReplyDeleteGee, I just saw you in email moments ago.. How cute all those projects are, but I'd say I'm partial to the clothes pin bag. With summer coming it will get lots of great use. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects...loving your clothes pin bag. It must be tough not hanging your clothes outside!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely ruffled stitching. Laundry bag makes me think spring.
ReplyDeleteYour ruffles projects are all adorable, especially the clothes pin bag.
ReplyDeleteRuffles, ruffles! I'm in love with ruffles... you projects are awesome, love the fabrics you used.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all wonderful, but that clothespin bag is outstanding! I don't hang my laundry outside. In fact, I don't hang it anywhere because my husband does the laundry. For some reason, he enjoys doing it lol. But he doesn't hang it outside either!
ReplyDeleteLove all your projects, pin bag, purses and towels. lol ...
ReplyDeleteIn summertime I hang my laundry outside, when its sunny. ( just the big stuff...)
My mom and grandma used to have clothespin bags. As for me, I'm an indoor laundry girl.
ReplyDeletewellll being a lover of hanging anything outside..your pin keeper is beautiful and those Tammy bags and also the towels…welllll suffice to say you are a also queen of ruffles lol
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I,too, hang my clothes outside. Love your pin keeper.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of stash! I have some chefs in my stash...Gotta make more aprons, I think! No, can't hang laundry out here, either. My kitchen is neutral with a side of taupe and a little wood.
ReplyDeleteall projects cute but I LOVE the clothespin bag! Did you make your own pattern?
ReplyDeleteOh fabulous projects!!!! I love the reds....my kitchen is winter white and green
ReplyDeleteYour clothespin holder is so cute..... I hope that spring and warmer weather gets here very soon so that you can put it to good use. Also love the kitchen towels....who cares if you don't have a red kitchen! Thanks so much for sharing these goodies today!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your clothes pin holder Pauline!!!! My grandma had one, and that brings back some very fond memories.
ReplyDeleteI love that clothes pin holder. I need it in my kitchen as I use clothespin to shut up bags of chips or anything that needs to be closed to keep it fresh. My kitchen is done in brick reds and browns.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is blue and I love drying my clothes outside!
ReplyDeleteGreat ruffle projects - I love your peg bag!
I used to hang my clothes outside all the time, (until hubs decided to drive under the clothes line with a truck and tear them down) ARRRRGH! I must say, my clothespin bags never were as classey as yours is. I do LOVE it! I understand HOA's, but really clothes hanging??? Gheez! They must wear their "drawers" wet! LOL!! Love your Tammy Bags and kitchen towels. Ruffles do add that little spark to things!
ReplyDeleteGreat ruffle projects...especially Love the clothes pin bag . I know some places don't allow hanging clothes outside but they have never smelled clothes fresh off the line on a winters day!!
ReplyDeleteLove the clothespin bag, Pauline. So adorable!
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is white, so, I can change the color ever time I pull out clean towels. Much more fun! Cute projects. I have clothes pins in a (ugly commercial) bag in my laundry room. We can't hang things here, either, but, we still seem to use clothes pins here and there. Lots of cute projects.
ReplyDeletePauline your projects are wonderful and I especially like the clothes pin bag. We don't have a dryer and my hubby strung a clothesline up the full length of the garage, plus we also have 3 of those folding clothes racks , one is all wood and the others are metal. We too have rules about not being able to hang up our clothes outside, but even in the garage or house the clothes have that great fresh clothesline scent!!! Lol!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen has no color theme (anything could go) and I WISH I could hang my clothes outside on a line. Fabulous projects. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteYour clothespin bag is adorable and so cheery looking...makes me want to get a clothesline just so I can make one! Sweet ruffled towels in red!
ReplyDeleteLove your colour theme...just beautiful
ReplyDeleteYour clothespin bag is adorable. Years ago I had a clothesline and am planning to put one up again this spring in our tiny city yard. I do hang clothes outside when I can as I love the fresh air scent and the way the wrinkles just wave away in the breeze. I want a clothespin bag now, too! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win the pretty quilt pattern ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteI hate Home Owner's Associations, they should not have any right to dictate whether you hang your clothes on the line! I was so excited when I saw my new house already had deluxe poles for a clothes line! Too bad it is so cold right now, my dryer is not working and I have been hanging clothes everywhere inside to dry, it is a very sloow process. I love all of your ruffles! missysaprons@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the clothespin bag. I do hang some of my laundry out. I love the smell of my sheets when I take them off the line.
ReplyDeleteCute bag! I have an old vintage one that I gave to my daughter. I remember my mom hanging the laundry out and in the winter the clothes would freeze stiff. We later moved to a house with a basement so Mom could hang the laundry there on the most frigid days. I loved the smell of clothes coming off the line on a sunny day.
ReplyDeleteSew sweet clothes pin bag. Brings back memories of the days I hung diapers on the line. A neighbor always commented one them saying they were the whiteiest in town.
ReplyDeleteNeat Tammy bags.
I could hardly wait to see what you had dreamed up for us - you always do the cutest stuff! I love all your projects but that laundry bag just took my breath. I want a clothes line! Unfortunately my husband will not cooperate. :( Just because he has 5 million trees to mow around doesn't mean he couldn't add a couple of poles, I mean really what's two more to mow around? Love, love, love it! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteLove your clothespin bag! Yours is adorable. I remember using them! Your Tammy bags are so sweet. Great job on all of your projects!
ReplyDeleteHOA's drove me crazy. Now we live in the country And I can have a clothes line anywhere I please!
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is a boring white...the whole house is that color! I really want to do a tuscan yellow effect in there but when I think of taking down all the decorations....sigh...well, it's still white! sewingblogsarefun@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all so lovely. You do fantastic work. I like your cloths pin holder the best for it brings back memories. My family never had a dryer and my mother wore out a couple of those. I only got a clothes dryer after we moved her to TN 7 years ago. I now have a bad back so my husband won't put a line up for me. So I miss it. I always liked the smell of fresh cloths. Your holder sure will dress up your cloths line.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is barn red.... Love all of your pretty ruffles! Especially the clothes pin bag. I have too many seasonal allergies to hang my clothes outside.

I am in love with your clothes pin holder. I am lucky and have two nice poles that I am able to hang my wash out on the line. I really need to make myself one of those. Yours is just adorable!! Of course, the towels and the Tammy's are just wonderful, also!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your projects are great and your work is great! I love the clothes pin bag! You can never have too many of those!
ReplyDeletexo jan
You have made so many wonderful projects as usual. Thanks for sharing your creativity and being part of this hop.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love everything you made! The clothespin bag is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your projects but that clothespin holder is my favorite. So cheery in yellow gingham! I love clothespins (the ones with the springs) and something like that would be perfect. I don't hang things outside; I just use clothespins to close lots of chip bags, etc. Thanks for sharing your wonderful things today!
ReplyDeleteHI, LOVE YOUR PROJECTS!
ReplyDeleteMY KITCHEN IS MOSTLY WHITE WITH BLACK ACCENTS>LOVE IT!
THANKS FOR SHARING!

I love the clothespin basket, it's sew cute. Unfortunately, we can't hang our clothes outside for most of the year because it's too cold and snowy.
ReplyDeleteyour clothespin bag is just so dawgone stinkin' cute! do you have a pattern for it? my kitchen is yellow with some pink and touches of blue and green. it desperately needs an update. thank you for this opportunity -- keeping my fingers crossed. the Crazy Quilt Girl shop has a nice selection of fabric and precuts, as well as embroidery towels. loved all of your projects!
ReplyDeleteThat clothespin bag is the sweetest. I don't hang my clothes outside because we have the dust bowl in western Kansas. There are only a few days it would work. Very cute projects.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is blue/grey with red and white curtains. I also have the red Kitchen Aid tools. LOVE all the projects you have been working on.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is black, brown and blue, such a strange combination...Oh well. I have a homeowners association as well but I still hang my clothes out in the lovely sunshine. You are not crazy, I love clothes dried in the sun and it is better for them as well. I put a rope with spaced knots on it and hung it under the eaves and that's where my clothes line is. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
ReplyDeletePauline...you NEVER disappoint...these are so pretty and perfect! I love coming here and watching you create...
ReplyDeleteI love your cloths pin bag...do you have a pattern! My kitchen is red, black and a little bit of blue with a French chief and cafe theme on my window valance, pictures, bottles, and sponge holder. CrazyQuiltGirl is a great shop....I have ordered from her a few times and I love everything!
ReplyDeleteI love your little bag! I hope to have a clothes line this summer, I love the smell of sun dried clothing. :) My kitchen is blue.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is green and its an olive green and gold combination. I'm new to your blog, cute stuff and I really am inspired by the little peg bag with a ruffle! Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeletecarli the quilter at gmail dot com
i want a clothes line but hubby says it would cut his head off while cutting grass
ReplyDeleteI love your peg bag Pauline. We call clothes pins pegs here in Australia. I have 2 clothes lines, one out the back and one under the car port.Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is super cute! I don't hang my laundry outside, but I do have clothes pins for hanging quilts outside when I take pictures. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteEvery ruffle project you created is fabulous. I must say that clothespin bag tugs at my heart for the times I helped (or hindered) my Grandma hang clothes out on the line. Thank you sew very much for Hopping...
ReplyDeleteI put my clothes in the dryer - I hung clothes enough when I was a young girl... ugh. Nothing like having to run to take down the clothes you just hung up because a dust devil is heading your way. I was never able to get them all down before it hit - I always had to re-wash the load... My Mom insisted on hanging the clothes outside (even in the Arizona desert) but once I moved out the house and she had to do it, that all changed. LOL The Clothespin bag is really cute even though hanging clothes out isn't my favorite thing to do. LOL Have a happy day!

No. You are not crazy. There is nothing like the smell of clothes fresh from the line (except the smell of a baby-aww), anyway I digress. When we lived in Montana i always hung the clothes outside to dry, even in winter. I know, crazy...until one time I went outside to get a pair of my husbands longjohns to hang inside by woodstove to finish drying so he could wear them that am. Keep reading ya'll..I promise it's gonna make you laugh til coffee comes out your nose! So, I grabbed a pair to bring in and they had a lot of ice on them, so I slammed them on the rail of the porch and ...wait for it... they broke off clean at the knees. ARGHHH. Lesson learned.. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is blue and red. Love love it. Your projects are darling. And your photos are so crisp & clear. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are so cute. Clothes that have dried out of doors smell SO good but its a lot more work than tossing them in a dryer.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your ruffled projects. I love to hang out my sheets when the weather permits.
ReplyDeleteLove your ruffles! I'm a ruffle junkie. I love to hang my sheets out but don't care to hang my clothes..
ReplyDeleteThat bib is so cute!

My kitchen is black gray and silver with white walls and a wonderful fireplace. It used to be 3 small rooms that we made into a large family style kitchen
ReplyDeleteLooooove your projects...'specially the clothespin bag!! Sooo cute!! I DO hang laundry out on line...not in Ohio winter's tho!! LOL The Crazy Girl's Quilt Shop is brand new to me & am signing up to follow too. :)
ReplyDeleteCrazy Girl IS a new shop to me. My kitchen is best not spoken of, and I don't hang my laundry outside. Call me weird, but I don't like the smell of clothes that have dried outside! Thank you so much for the giveaway chance. dezertsuz at gmail
ReplyDeleteI loved all of your ruffled projects but especially your clothespin bag . I hang out my clothes when ever the weather is good , I love hanging out my laundry !
ReplyDeleteThe ruffled clothespin bag is too cute for words! I used to hang my clothes out, but haven't been able to do it for the last few years (live in an apartment). But as soon as I move to a house--outside!! :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful creative projects! I love the clothespin bag and the ruffles on the kitchen towels. My kitchen is yellow & some blue.

Wow! You did a super, over the top job!! Love, love, love the clothespin bag and the tea towels. BTW, my kitchen is Granny Smith apple green :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great, ruffly projects. I enjoy hanging my clothes on the line--especially my sheets--an advantage of living in the country. Your towels are really cute, and I love the Tammy bags!
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet, eh? ah, Pauline ... that's near to impossible! Your work is beautiful and your ruffles divine!! Thank you so much for sharing and hopping along this go around :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ABC Menagerie fabric from Crazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop.
ReplyDeletekdavis1@centurytel.net
Your clothes pin bag is adorable (all of your projects are great)! I hang my clothes and bedding out as soon as I can...nothing like sleeping on sheets and pillows that smell so fresh! Hopefully some of this snow will melt soon so we can do that before long! :)
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen colors are blue and white, and I love your clothespin bag!
ReplyDelete~Brandy
What a charming clothes pin bag. Could make me want to do laundry. Love the scent and feel of clothes hung outside. Need to get another clothesline extension doohicky so I can start again. My mother hung clothes out even in the winter time (freeze drying, I guess). I remember going out and bringing in all of these frozen boards that finished drying in the house.
ReplyDeleteI love all your projects! They are just too cute. My kitchen is red, blue, cream. I do hang some of my clothes outside to dry.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all so cute as usual, I always look forward to seeing what you come up with. In love with the little clothes pin bag what else could we use it for.lol blessings Sandra
ReplyDeleteI hang laundry outside. I have done this since I was tall enough to reach the clothesline (which would be about 50 years ago). I love how the "new" thing is to dry your laundry outside in the sunshine. Makes me smile when I read about it on people's blogs. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove your clothespin bag!!! When I was growing up we always hung our laundry outside. We're not allowed to do that in our neighborhood either. Thanks for sharing your fun projects :)
ReplyDeleteLove all of your ruffled projects.
ReplyDeleteYour clothespin bag is sweet! I love to hang my sheets outside so I wish spring would hurry up. I like ruffles on a Tammy bag to make it more girly. The tea towels look great! I like red accents in a kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThe color of everything in my kitchen, including the Kitchenaid, is Orange..It's been my favorite color for as long as I can remember, and I can remember a lonnnnng time. 8-)

ReplyDeleteI love the clothes pin bag, I can't imagine not being able to hang my clothes out in the beautiful outdoors that God blessed us with. I think the bag would also perfect for a baby or kids room for all those little things they need. I fell in love with the Tammy Purse, I will have to get that pattern. Your giveaway is a beautiful pattern, I would love to make a quilt using that pattern. Thanks so much for sharing with us, your projects are really an inspiration to all who see them,
ReplyDeleteLovely projects! My kitchen is green....already ready for St. Patrick's Day! Beth @ Words & Stitches, pbstrand@msn.com
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of your ruffle projects. My kitchen is in Cranberry and White.
ReplyDeleteI really like your peg bag, and I always hang my washing outside if the weather is fine. Most people in England do hang their washing out every day, it is just part of life here. Thank you for a great giveaway too.
ReplyDeleteYour ruffle projects are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour Tammy bags always look amazing and the tea towels wouldcheer up any kitchen.
I think the clothes pin bag is a cute idea. I am always amazed at housing associations not allowing clothes lines. It is the cheapest, and healthiest way to dry clothes.
I will stop my rant now!
Love all the projects!!
Love the ruffles! Hang outside in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI hang out some clothes. I would love to have the pattern for the clothes pin hanger. I looked over Crazy Girl Fabric and Registered. Thinking this maybe where you got your pattern. I lost my mothers hanger when our house burned down a couple of years ago. I'm also following you. Inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ruffle projects. It is so fun to add a little ruffle and see how it just makes everything seem a little more fun. Great job! ~Shari
ReplyDeleteWhat cute projects! Love the clothes pin bag especially. I used to help mom hang or take in clothes from outside but haven't done that in over 35 years now. Wish I had an outdoor clothes line though. I do so love the smell of sheets that have dried outside. We've got plenty of land so maybe I'll put that on my wish list for Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is dirty white but all of my small kitchen appliances are red. Someday soon I will figure out how I want my kitchen and we will remodel it finally.
ReplyDeleteI check out the Crazy Quilt Girl fabric shop often :) I have wished many time I had a clothes line. very cute little pin bag. janita
ReplyDeleteLove your projects....I hope to put up a clothes line this year. I just moved into my 35' Motor home and the property is owned by my son. He will let me do anything I want with my spot so a clothesline would be nice, even though I go to the laundromat to do laundry I love the smell of clothes dried in the fresh air.
ReplyDeleteWhat great projects! Spring is meant to be here but most of my clothes are dired on an airer above the rayburn but as the weather is warming up more will at least be mainly dried on my spinning line outside the kitchen window.
ReplyDeleteI love your clothespin holder. I need to make a new one. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can hang my sheets on the line.
ReplyDeleteI like to hand out my laundry when the weather is good.
ReplyDeleteCrazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop a new quilting shop for me. My mother-in-law lives next door and uses a clothes line my husband put up for her in the yard, Greetings from Oklahoma, USA crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a clothesline up too. Maybe one of those small things with line on all 4 sides but if I don't know what they are even called it is going to be hard to hunt for one, LOL. I love your little clothes pin bag! The chef items are very cute too!
ReplyDeleteTHX for the giveaway opportunity. Afraid I hit send a bit too quickly. If I am not lucky enough to win that pattern might work for something I have here at home and I'll track it down! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis ruffle hop is awesome - so many lovely ideas of things to make!! Ok - my kitchen is boring cream and it needs a repaint badly.
ReplyDeleteLove your ruffle projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of ruffle projects:) off to so some washing, and hang it outside - delighted spring has arrived:)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine not hanging my clothes outside. Im in Australia the land that created the hills hoist (a really efficient out door clothes line) and we almost never use a dryer. I hate how musty it makes the house and the line is so environmentally friendly. i could use a peg bag though… i currently just leave the pegs on the line… they are always within reach.
ReplyDeleteOur kitchen is red, with a fat chef theme. My husband is the cook and orders all his appliances and gadgets in red. Very colorful!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Crazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop is new to me---and you are right, there are some crazy great prices AND I have never been to IKEA, but she carries their fabric. I am going back for a longer look.
ReplyDeleteHi Pauline!
ReplyDeleteCrazy Girl is a new shop for me - I've added it to my bookmarks, thank you!
Short and sweet...okay...color of my kitchen is...1930's handpainted wallpaper....in dusky blue...ya. I know. :p
My kitchen is a white with white cabinets, I love to hang my laundry outside but also have to deal with a home owners assoc., and I haven't been to this Crazy Fabric shop before but am going to peruse it next!
ReplyDeleteI don't use a clothesline but in the last couple of years I have been wishing I had one. I guess it is a matter of figuring out where to put it and getting it put up. Fortunately we don't have a homeowners association that keeps us from doing that.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is yellow with a white ceiling. Thanks for participating and all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCute bag. I used to have a clothesline on my deck. Now I just hang towels and levis over the deck railing. But only when the wind isn't blowing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI use a clothes dryer.
