A big thank you to Madame Samm @ SewWeQuilt for rounding up bundles of prizes to giveaway for this hop featuring "Handmaids" by J. Wecker Frisch. How to win? Comment and participate! Carla @ Creatin'intheSticks has organized not only this hop, but a Door Stop hop on alternate days! THANKS, gals!
So... after my previous post, you would think that I don't hang out in the sewing room much. But I do. And my dear husband brought home a new space heater last night, the darling man. So now I can spend even more time down there. Of course, I have a quilt studio upstairs too, which is where my longarm machine, Ol' Betsy lives. And I'm commandeering the spare bedroom to display my sew-y goodness today. All part of my evil plan to take over the house... Ü
Now on to the projects!
I love this line of fabric. It's perfect to make more of my Snippets for the Sewing Room! It reminds me of the Victorian age, Gibson Girls, Mary Poppins, and a little Steam Punk (my daughter likes that - I had to google it!).
I remembered a little boot similar to this that hung in my Grandmother's back bedroom. I think it was her mother's, whose name was Mary Malinda. I've always wanted to make one. ♥
Mary's Boot Pincushion ♥ << see new pattern.
Dishtowel Apron ♥ << see pattern. Top hats and mustaches seem to suit the fabric, too!
Oh, look! A detachable Needlenook! ♥ <<see tutorial
Holds all kinds of stuff!
Cut & Press Booklet: ♥ << see tutorial
And a Memory Board: ♥ << see tutorial.
My sewing room buddies... 16 years ago! ♥♥♥
So... I'm also working on a couple of quilts. This was an International Round Robin and just seems to go with the whole Victorian/red/black decor! I am trying to decide if I use blocks from Handmaids to grow this quilt, or just finish it as is. ♥
Meanwhile... let's take a look at my UFO to Go portable design wall and see what's happening... ♥
I just can't seem to get enough of this fun fabric! And, can you tell, I like RED? ♥♥
Free tutorials and patterns are now available for these projects and many others on my Snippets page. I'd love for you to follow or subscribe so you don't miss out!
Be sure to visit all my other sewing sisters on today's hop ~ ♥Love these gals!

I really like this line.....I think I would make a wall hanging for my quilt room. I actually don't have anything quilty on the walls yet and so this would be perfect. Um.....no idea what is in the hat box but it has got to be something red for sure :) Thanks
ReplyDeleteOh, lots of pretty projects - do love that apron. Hmm, the hat box - a hat that goes with that boa I see there.
ReplyDeleteVery cute things you have made here. Love the red apron! You are sew creative to think of all these things to make! Thank you for sharing today.
ReplyDeleteYou have made so many great things here, I fell for the pincushion!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of projects! I really love the pincushion and the cut and press book. lol at your "evil plan" to take over the house.
ReplyDeleteWow you were busy. Great job and thanks for the chance to win your give away. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have been incredibly busy!! I love the Little Sewing Kit and the Cut and Press Booklet!! Thanks for sharing in the hop!!
ReplyDeleteI love your projects! My sister loves red too. It's a fun color to sew with. I was thinking you had a little sewing machine in the hat box?
ReplyDeleteDeonn, your sewing ideas are all adorable ! Love, LOve the sewing kit and the cut and press book ! I'll be back for your tutorials and patterns. Growing your quilt with Handmaids sounds like a good idea.....All your projects are just super and the PERFECT color..... I'm a red girl too.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh heavens sent…I don't even know which one I like best…all of them…ok, the mustache tin….mmmmm I have something to match..wait and see lol ohhhh this is about you…your cut and press booklet…a real gem…ohhh Mary's boot….love that….memory board…ohhh gosh a llll of them...
ReplyDeleteYou are one creative, talented woman. I love all the projects and the fabric is too cute for words. I can't hazard a guess as to what is in the hat box... common sense says a hat but I doubt if that is the case.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and I'll be back for your tut's.
Wow-what a great selection of projects. So many things to love. I have to have a space heater in my sewing space too. I used it more this year than any so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful ideas!! Can't wait for the tutorials....I enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteVery cute projects. I want that memory board in my sewing room. (thanks for the creative inspiration!!) And thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOmg I LOVE that panel. If I had it I would probably just admire it forever till I got gumption to use it. It's so perfect and right up my alley. Love your projects!!!
ReplyDeleteDeonn, you knock it out of the park. I'm a red kind of girl, too. Love that little sewing kit. I think that particular block with the girl in the top hat is my favorite of all the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping you did a great job.
Great projects, love the mustaches with the apron. The memory board is super cute. I'd guess fat quarters are in that red box. Great space to store fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This fabulous fabric certainly ispired you!! I love all of your projects. The detachable needle keep is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I love them all. What is in that hatbox maybe scraps of fabric that you are going to use for the next project!!!! I cant wait for the tutorials. Thanks for sharing .
ReplyDeleteJust love everything as usual! The cut and press booklet is my favorite, followed by the UFO wall to go! Brilliant ideas both!
ReplyDeleteYou "WOW"ed me with all your projects!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing thread is in the hat box? (I'm assuming it's not a hat!)
Love this line very steam punk! In the hat box well if an empty box was in my sewing room it would be full of scraps!
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects are wonderful--so creative! If I had a hat box in my sewing room, it would be full of scraps--or maybe the selvages I am collecting. Thanks for your inspiration and for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou have been one busy sewing lady. I have 2 hatboxes in my sewing area, one has patterns in and the other has scraps in it. Thanks for a fin giveaway too.
ReplyDeleteWow! So many wonderful projects and lots of inspiration. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are too too clever! I love your sewing case and all its tidbits! And the boot pin cushion is fabulous! All your projects are fabulous actually!!
ReplyDeleteWow so many projects by everyone! Love what you made.
ReplyDeleteDeonn, I am having a hard time deciding which project is my favorite because they are all fantastic! I do keep going back to that sewing kit... I love how the thread is on a line and you can scrunch in the edges like that! I just may have to make one of those! Cute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat is in the hatbox? hmmmm... My guess is you are that mysterious customer of mine who buys me out of pearl cotton number 127 every time I restock... it is a beautiful dark purple. She says she has 3 hat boxes full of it now. Open up that hat box and let me see if you are her. lol
So many wonderful projects! The sewing kit is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteWow your projects are wonderful. And so fun as well as being useful. Thanks for sharing and for inspiring. I am a happy follower. Your girls are so pretty. After 16 yrs they must be beauties.
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are adorable. I especially like the boot pin cushion and the cut and press booklet. I've never seen before but it would certainly be a handy carrier. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteGreat details, beautiful projects!
ReplyDeleteOh, Deonn, you never cease to amaze me with your talent! I love, love, love all these little sewing accessories and could use them all. That UFO To Go is a great idea! That shoe must have been a popular item in the "olden days" because my mom and grandmother each had one. Hmmm...what's in the hatbox. Photos of all your awesome projects? Spools of thread?
ReplyDeleteI loved everything I saw in this post and hope I don't miss the tutorials for these projects.
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects as usual! Love your red Featherweight. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous projects! Can't wait to see some of the tutorials!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing thread and fabric are in the hat box! Thank you for sharing all your great ideas, I hope you get rid of the creepy-crawlies soon, I hate finding those in my sewing space! (well, the worms wouldn't bother me much, but the spiders...)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
~Brandy
Wowzers! Your projects are all great. I love the boot! The hatbox?
ReplyDeletehmmmmm. maybe a black Victorian hat with a large Red feather plume!
or it could be scraps from all these projects!
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway! How fun!

Adorable projects all, Deonn! So good that you banished the creepy crawlies and got to sew and share. Looking forward to the how-tos for these great projects. I really love the apron idea. I am going to be borrowing that one and making one for myself ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteI love them all - and my grandmother had one of those boots too. :) I especially love the memory board and the Cut and Press Book - really awesome. You have some great things going on in your sewing area! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteYou is one busy mama! sewingblogsarefun@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThey are all just so wonderful! I can decide which one I like more. The pressing book looks super handy and the little red quilt is adorable. I think that red hat box is filled with the trims you use like ric rac and such.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, Deonn. I really love all of them. Everything looks sooo pretty. My favorite is the boot pincushion. I would love to make one of these for my sewing room. Thank you for sharing today. (My guess as to what is in the hatbox---favorite sewing items as well as lots of fabric scraps. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLots of cute creations here! That fabric makes it just so much fun. Love the pressing book the most!
ReplyDeleteIlene
Wow you are one talented lady! I love red also so I am just naturally drawn to you work. I am definitely going to follow you so that I can see the tutorials on your great projects. I bet you have sewing supplies like ribbons or trims or maybe even buttons stored in that beautiful hat box.
ReplyDeleteLove your projects, especially the boot pin cushion and the sewing kit. I bet there's the makings for a cover in that hat box for that cute little red sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many wonderful projects. I really like the cut and press booklet. i was thinking of cutting up an old and partly worn cutting board and doing something like that. did you have a pattern or just made it up yourself. I really enjoyed seeing all of them.
ReplyDeleteYour projects all look great! I especially like the boot, the sewing kit and the press and cut book. I have a little cutting mat like that too.
ReplyDeleteYou've sure been busy! Great projects! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I love the Moustache mints!!
ReplyDeleteDo you store your hand sewing supplies in the hat box??
Or maybe a supply of moustache mints!!!
Apron ... mine! Ha Ha. Cut n Press ... mine! Sewing kit ... mine! (love the button by the way). You are awesome! Greetings from Oklahoma, USA crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
ReplyDeleteOh, you have been sew busy! I just love all of these great projects. Maybe your hat box contains UFO's? Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteMy guess would be....a hat? LOL! Love your items!
ReplyDeleteSO impressive. REALLY. I don't know which I like best. I am quite taken with the boot pincushion. The portable sewing kit is perfect for applique class and the little cut and press booklet would slip right into my applique bag, too. Then, everything else! Did you spend every waking hour doing all these things? WOW.
ReplyDeleteWow busy girl! I love everything!
ReplyDeleteLove all your projects.Hard to choose only one favorite!!
ReplyDeleteOMG They are all so adorable. I think I need to make a sewing kit for when I go to my meetings. That would come is sooo handy. The apron, so cute! Thank you for sharing them all with us.
ReplyDeleteDeon, your projects were lovely and gave me some great ideas. I did not order my fabric in time to make anything from She Who Sews fabric but I now have it and will be copying some of your projects. That cutting board cover is the best as is that cute little sewing kit with all the little attachments. And Oh, the mustache mints are off the chart in Cute factor. I just loved everything!! Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteHugs

Oh my,such adorableness (is that a word?)! I love each and every project. I'm thinking the cut and press mat is my favorite. Oh wait...the boot pincushion is too cute, too. But...I also like the precious apron. Hmmm...good thing I don't have to pick just one. I am looking forward to your tutorials....so I can make some pretties like you! :)
ReplyDeleteoh I like all of your projects! I think you have ufos in the hat box-or chocolate! Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway. vickise at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects ate just great. My favorite has to be the boot pincushion
ReplyDeleteFabulous projects. I think my favorite is the cut and press book. Love your little red singer sewing machine.

You made some great things! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your sewing case and portable cut n press. You are so clever! I have a "thing" for that scissor fabric!
ReplyDeleteYou are an entire HOP all on your own my dear. I love "She Who Sews" fabrics and all the projects you have created. Thank you sew very much for Hopping...
ReplyDeleteYour projects are wonderful, wow you were busy! I really like your memory board very nicely done. Thank you for sharing today!
ReplyDeleteDon't know where to begin, one idea is more fun and creative than the next. Lovin the pincushion boot and the cut and press book. Thanks so much for sharing your imagination with us.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you have been sew BUSY! A.ll the projects are wonderful! Perhaps there's a hat in the hat box but I'm thinking a UFO is more likely.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how prolific your are! And creative! I love everything you made, especially the pincushion (I love Steampunk) and the sewing kit (how cute!) and the cut and press booklet (We all need one of those!) and the memory board (what a great way to showcase the fabric!) and etc. I love your sense of humor too - I enjoyed the post about your sewing room. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next! I'm guessing the hat box has fabric in it. Or perhaps your secret stash of mustache mints.
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful, i love that boot it's so adorable
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects especially the boot. You are such a creative lady and all your work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've got in mind a HAT just like the one worn by the handmaid on the front of your sewing kit. Just look at the marvelous style, the button cards, the pincushion, etc. Your are one of the most delightful, creative artist/quilter I know and you could make one as marvelous or better. Your snippets are the best; I'd love to have all of the projects. Deonn, you rock, baby...or is that you steam punk rock?
ReplyDeleteSuch great projects! I especially love the boot pin cushion, the memory board, the cut & press booklet. I'm thinking I need to make some more stuff. lol
ReplyDeletewow! You made such a lot of projects and they are so clever and inspired - think the cut and press board is fabulous! and love the front of the sewing kit too. Brill.
ReplyDeleteI'm back with just another question for you. I'm looking for a tut for the Cut & Press booklet. I didn't see one on your website - did I overlook it or perhaps it's not a tut. I love that it's in a booklet form; I can see so many applications for it's use. Thanks for your help.
ReplyDeleteI like red also.....Loved all your projects..especially the boot. So cute!! Thank you for sharing.. bpfrimmer@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects…love them all (and, I too, love red!!!) Thanks for sharing! Look forward to your tutorials (I follow via email)
ReplyDeleteYour projects are sew lovely and adorable. It is hard to pick a favorite, but your pincushion boot is sew cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and I am looking forward to you tutorials.
I love all of your projects! I already follow your blog and can't wait for the tutorials. I think you keep fabric in your hatbox, fat quarters to be exact. Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAmazing projects! I love the apron and I really hope you have a tutorial for the Cut & Press booklet. I think maybe you have the giveaway goodies in the hat box. Thank you for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great projects! Especially love the apron!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! When I saw your question, I thought, "What hat box?" I assumed it was a sewing kit. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you really like this fabric? Ha ha. Great use of each print. I especially like the sewing kit. Well, maybe the boot too. Always love your creations!
ReplyDeleteDelightful accessories…and your quilting partners are quite charming as well. I would guess a hat is in the hat box!
ReplyDeleteYo were busy. My favorite is the sewing kit. So useful. I bet you have scraps, red at that, in your hat box.
ReplyDeleteRed is my favorite color, too. What great projects you came up with. The sewing machine in the center of your red quilt, I made 7 of those blocks this past month. Love that cute, red Featherweight, too!
ReplyDeleteHi - I am so glad I stopped by too and saw these beautiful projects. My favorite has to be Mary's Boot Pincushion. What a nice tribute to your grandmother and an honor for our She Who Sews fabric. Darling projects! Very nice job. Thank you. J. Wecker Frisch
ReplyDeleteLove your cut and press book, did you use any interfacing or batting inside?
ReplyDeleteFabric is in the hat box, great scraps.. I missed this fabric when it came out, its really cute and you did it so well..
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all beautiful and very useful and I love the victorian boot. I am guessing there is fabric in the hatbox. Your display is wonderful and that red sewing machine on the table is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIf it were my hat box it would be filled with a hand quilting project.. I will guess that :)
ReplyDeleteTrabalhos maravilhosos... parabéns!
ReplyDeleteMari
Such pretty red things you have there and I can't wait to see what you do with your round robin mini.
