Car Art or just Gift Art?


My plan was to make up some quilted mats for gifts for the people we will be visiting this summer, little thank yous from my heart and sewing machine. The idea was to do a lot of embroidery in the car while driving long distances. However, I had to make 15 of these and that is a lot of embroidery...in fear I may not have time to get them all done while traveling I started top sewing them here at home before we leave. So they are mostly done...with a little more to do on some and room for a few embellishments while traveling. I'll take yarn and knitting needles to make grand kids their next size (5) sweaters for the coming fall season.

If you want to see what I'll be wearing to my son's wedding in August go to my Positive Eating and Exercise blog. http://lynnshealthplan.blogspot.com/

  6. How neat. My other mother gives me something like that every Christmas. She makes them to hang on the wall. I have probably 6 or so now.

    Love them!

  9. Lynn I just wanted to say that I'm very sorry for your loss of a good friend, I think of you and of the person I don't even know but who you love, I say it in the present so that those whom we love are not gone but live in our minds. Love, Andrea

  10. Thanks Andrea, I have not yet posted about that loss here, but I will soon. I am making a memory quilted piece (small) about our friend who died recently and will talk about it when I post it completed.

    I have talked about this on others blogs and I appeciate the sentiments it has brought me.
