Lookin' Back~






Had to share these patterns I found online! I know I made these patterns! The high yoke dress was in 67 and the low waisted was in 69! I had the hair and all!! WOW!! takes me back to dating my high school sweetheart now hubby days!! We got married in December '69. I loved low waisted dresses! My honeymoon dress was navy blue and pink low waist! Just thought I would share!! Have a great sewing weekend...I have a quilt top cut out and now to get it together....my motto this summer...a tote and quilt top a day!! Goals! and please STORMS STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quilted Blessings! Kari

......Oh well! there is a thunderstorm warning AGAIN! with possible hail...so I guess I will cut a view more things out before I turn on my Viking!

Happy Dads' Day!

I know there are just tons of you mamas' out there that are grillin' away for your favorite man!! Have a ball!! It is warm and sunny..or kind of sunny, we may get a storm! (SO I unfortunately can't use my sewing machines in our big electrified storms this year!)....anyways! I found the neatest and perfect way to put on bindings and mitering corners on a quilt or any project that needs them....on You Tube....so I have included the 2nd part..please visit the site and view part 1 and part 3 and 4 it is soooo worth the time!!!....and then you are set. I just want to help a little bit...it is a new way...and a little tedious...but Sharon is the greatest teacher! so try it! I know you will like it!! Quilted Blessings! and hey, watch those hot grillin' tongs today!!! Hug Your Hub!!! Kari
