Crafted Stitches

 I've started the Quintessential Wallet from Sweet Pea.  The pieces are each done in the hoop on my embroidery machine and then sewn together.  I barely had enough fabric to make this. I have all the pieces ready to sew together. This will be pretty simple until I get to the gusset. We will see how it goes! If you have made this wallet leave a comment and let me know how it went together for you.  The next project I need to get going on the the Chandelier quilt. It is a free pattern and you can find it by going to Lella Boutique  

 Baked a loaf of rosemary, garlic, parmesan bread and the house smelled so good!  I used this everything bagel no knead bread recipe. Everything Bagel No-Knead Bread  I modified the recipe slightly by omitting the everything bagel seasoning and using 1 tbsp of rosemary, 2 tbsp minced garlic (I used the kind in the jar) and 1/2 cup of grated fresh parmesan (not the Kraft parmesan). It turned out amazing and I think we like it better than the everything bagel bread.  To be honest, this recipe is sooo easy and tastes as good as any sourdough bread I've ever made. I don't think I will ever make sourdough again! Looking to try some other spices/flavors so if you have some suggestions, leave me a comment.

 Hello, anyone here?!  Welcome to my crafting journey.  I will attempt to share my current WIP's and completed projects. I will also share tips and tricks that have worked for me. I do many different types of crafts besides sewing and quilting such as watercolor painting, paper crafts on my Cricut and I crochet and knit. I love to machine embroider. My favorite machine embroidery projects are bags and table toppers. I have made this quilt in the hoop. That was a daunting task! The pattern is from Sweet Pea. It is called Floral Burst Block and Quilt . Right now I am working on several different projects which I will be sharing in future posts. My husband and I love to travel. I will share some of our adventures from time to time.  Our favorite place to vacation is Hawaii! We have been there several times and have visited most of the islands. I hope you will stick around and bookmark my blog or add it to your reading list! Thanks for reading, Teri
