Random Thursday


Well.  I have been messing with more zippers.  What do you think of this little pouch?  Too bad I didn't take a picture of it open because there are some really cute pink polka dots inside.  This is a free tutorial over at Dog Under My Desk.    She has awesome patterns, tutorials and is full of zipper knowledge.  I just noticed that I should, perhaps, have put the little tab with the ring on the other side of the zipper.  Maybe?  Does it matter functionally?  I wonder.  Erin never uses a zipper foot.  I love that.  My zipper foot and I are not good friends.  I am better friends with regular feet.  FYI.



I have not found good vintage sheets for awhile. I haven't been searching really but I didn't find any even if I was or wasn't searching.  Until the other day.  I found these beauties.  Both in great shape.  I think the top one with the California poppies is particularly lovely and will make a great quilt back.


And then there is this pin cushion!  I won this at the sew in.  Cute!!!  Amy made it.  Yay!  And if you are in the lower mainland of BC... Amy did a great quilt shop review on her blog the other day.

Random stuff.  So that means I am linking up with Cindy at Live a Colorful Life for Random Thursday!

  2. So cute, maybe my problem with zippers is the zipper foot, you never know, or maybe its just me! I still keep avoiding them!

  6. I have never seen a pin cushion in that shape that wasn't a cross stitch piece. But why not?
