Wahoo! Carol Came in 2nd!


Here is Carol, holding her 2nd Place ribbon with her beautiful quilt.

Just for the record--this is her first quilt she has ever made!
WAHOO!!!!!

Knowing Carol for a few years, I discovered that she is a very talented
clothing sewer, but had never tackled a quilt until now.




This year after having surgery, Carol made this inspiring quilt, asked me to quilt it
 and entered in a Lancaster, Pa. County Fair. 


A photo of the quilt at the fair.


Attaching the binding.


Quilt in Carol's home.







 Below are close-up details while this beauty was being quilted in my home.




















Some of the details where so small,
I needed to turn down the lighting to see.




























So..... Carol has the quilting fever!
I do not think this is the last we will see of her talents!

Thank You Carol for entrusting and letting me be apart of your quilt!

Scarf Camera Strap & Boat Ride! (Tut. Link)

Scarf Camera Strap Tutorial {Camera Accessories}





 












Find a comfy scarf
(Mine is from my closet)




Gather a piece of leather and two clasp hooks.
(Mine is from a old pocket book and clasps are from Michael's)








When done, you will have a very
comfy camera strap!
(one strap is in China as we speak)
 
 
 Here is the tutorial for the
Scarf Camera Strap

 Tip-use either a leather or jeans needle.
To avoid breaking the needle, sew slowly.
