Frustrating to make, but a good result I think.

I’ve made a fan block, from an old doily! 🤩👏
Just need to add some trim, and it’ll be ready for my Bits & Bobs collage quilt. 🥰

“Sunshine Week”? You mean we just get to make up weeks now? Awesome.

It’s Hawthorne Week, and that means it is time for The #Doilies! Each year, I ask people to send me a tray with a doily and a hundred dollar bill. https://mastodon.social/@eff/112072493390194737

I love this pretty belt buckle & matching button, I get to be creative with, on my Bits & Bobs wallhanging. 😍👏💙💖

Happy weekend stitching! 🥰🪡🧵

Modern flat screen televisions have decimated the porcelain Shire horse pulling a cart full of barrels trade, not to mention the doily industry too.

I love my crafty artistic family. Here's a sample from our home.
#Dog #art by my daughter.
#StainedGlass lamp and coasters by my wife.
#Ceramic tray by my mother.
#Doilies by my mom in law.
#Totoro nightlight by my brother in law.
#Credenza shelf by me.

And yes, one day we'll get rid of those DVDs. We've gotten rid of most but some still remain...
