MAKING A BITTY DOG PIN CUSHION!

I've been looking at this Bitty Dog Pincushion Pattern since the day it arrived at the 44th Street Fabric shop and finally decided that I have to make one for my sewing room. It's so cute! Bunny Hill Designs patterns are so eay to make--the only difficulty for me is that some of the pieces are tiny. I've been using my surgical clamps that I got from a booth at the Houston Quilt Show one year to turn the little pieces. They are amazingly useful around the house! I can't get a good pic of my "work in progress" because it's so darn dark in here but will put up my finished project for you to see. It's really fun to see my little dog take shape! I might make some for gifts for my sewing and quilting friends!

PATTERNS, PATTERNS, PATTERNS!! AND DOGS WITH NO CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

At 44th Street Fabric we know that you are getting ready for the holidays and you've already done any sewing for gifts. Yes, unlike me, your finished projects are already wrapped up and under the tree--right?

So now it's time for you to think about Spring! Spring sewing projects are best done during the really cold and great to be inside months coming up. I call it "Sewing Season"! At any rate, if you are like I am, you are thinking of things you want to make after the holidays have ended and the decorations are stored away for next year. My quiet times during the holidays are spent choosing patterns to make and then browsing fabrics for those patterns.

Well, in the event you have a process somewhat like mine, here's a little sample of just a few of the new patterns we are listing in the shop. We tried to have a variety of fun things to sew including bags, charm quilt patterns (for those fun little charm packs), childrens clothes, aprons, toys, pin cushions and more!

We are wishing a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our wonderful customers. Keep watching our shop for new fabric and patterns, our blog for new Blog Fabric Giveaways (be sure and enter to win) and our blog for Charlie and Lola's (our little canine assistants) Christmas photo greeting! We are attempting a video but still working on that one...sigh....you wouldn't believe the lenghts they go to just to rid themselves of their Christmas outfits....sigh...

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
