A little stitching with Michelle Ridgway patterns...

...a wee peek at a new project I have been working on.
The embroidery is finished...now on to choosing fabrics.
I'm looking forward to finishing this...
I have quite a few patterns by Michelle Ridgway.
I talked about them here and now
some of Michelle's patterns are available at
Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop ...there will be more to choose from soon.  

Another project I started piecing this month
is a donation quilt for Safe House in Ann Arbor MI.
The tumbler blocks were already cut...not my color or fabric choices...
I volunteered to sew them into a quilt top.
The tumblers were cut, packaged in a pie box...tied with a bow
and ready to stitch...I couldn't resist.
Our next guild meeting in March 8th 
I hope to have it quilted and bound by then.

Something else I've been working on...
...have you seen these scrubbies or used them?
...they are long strips of tulling/netting crocheted into a circle 
and then stuffed with more netting.
They are great for cleaning Teflon and glass top ranges.
I use them to scrub the tile in my bathroom.
They are the best pot scrubbers!!
I've just started crocheting them and it has taken a few tries
to get them looking pretty good.
These are the first two...I'm working on a turquoise one now.
The next one will be purple...luv all the colors that are available.
I even put them in the dish washer...they last a long time.

I'm linking up to Cat Patches linky party
and  Such a Sew and Sew's linky party
and crazy mom quilts' linky party
and Confessions of a Fabric Addict's linky party.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
Happy stitching
