Wooden Spools
On the hunt for wooden spools. My friends Tricia gifted me some, then Marie, and now sister Charlene is sending me some from Texas! Yippee! Here’s what I’ve been up to and looking for more creative ideas to do with them. Right now you can find the quilt wrapped spools at American Country Mercantile. The hunt continues….
I've been wrapping and sewing strips of vintage quilts around all sizes of spools. Fingers got a little sore. =)
Like my model? Take 1. lol
Lincoln - take 2. I filled up the Longaberger chip and dip bowl for the display.
Take 3 - he told me the bowl was toooo HEAVY so we moved on to putting them into the Medium Flare Basket.
Take 4 - say cheese!
Pick a Letter
I’m still on the hunt for an awesome G or B (for BASKET of course!) or maybe both! =)
The "R" is great for my maiden name, but a "G" would be better. And I decide that if this sign said Wake Up America with a Diet Coke pictured, I would have for sure bought it.
Seems the letter R was the letter for the day!
Did you say Eeeeee!
Great Show and looking forward to more…
Next up is Black Autumn at the Roost Barn. Be sure to check out Sarah’s blog for more details.
