finished my Gratitude Rosary. Just plain wooden beads on a black ribbon. Markered with flowers. I ‘travel’ from one bead to next, thinking of the next thing I am grateful for. Very powerful.

[Immaculata]

I love this idea! And your drawings are very good.

[Sera_unraveled (Sara)]

Remake damaged vintage embroidery pieces into little items

I love this idea!

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

I made one piece using this idea a few months ago -

[MightyMitochondria (Rose)]

That is so gorgeous!

[wittychild (Jen 🇨🇦)]

Beautiful!

[AIMR (Linda -2024 Choose Projects that You Want to Do :us:)]

lol I guessed you were marsupial…ha ha ha that is a lovely way to showcase old needlework and still make it functional for today!

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

haha you know me too well!

Thanks guys for the kind comments - I am keen to make some more pieces like this. I can’t bring myself to throw away old embroidery that I know someone spent hours on.

[poetrylover828 (Rain)]

I decided for some reason that I wanted to make myself some new curtains for my room. I have plenty of other projects to get working on.

[endymion (Pam 🇺🇸 (she/her))]

Yay, curtains! I bet it felt good to make something so functional and visible every day. I like the color contrast at the top.

I somehow missed seeing your little zipper pouch, @jemimah. It is so, so sweet! I have the same feelings about honoring someone’s work. In the pre-COVID days when I used to go garage-saling, I would often see gorgeous embroidery or crochet pieces that were being sold for pennies due to staining or damage. I rescued a few, but have trouble figuring out what to do with them. Your little bag is very inspiring!

[Magpie (Straight, not narrow 🏳️‍🌈 🇨🇦 🌎)]

That pouch is simply darling! It seems quite firm in structure too, what did you use to line it?

[poetrylover828 (Rain)]

Thank you! It is nice to see them. The contrast at the top is because I didn’t have quite enough of the main piece. but it worked quite well.

[poetrylover828 (Rain)]

Finally finished finished this quilt! I think I had posted the completed top in last years craft along. But now I finally got the binding on!

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

Thank you! I can’t remember, I think it might have just had an extra layer of cotton fabric?

That is a super stylish quilt @poetrylover828! Beautiful!

[poetrylover828 (Rain)]

Thank you! I enjoyed making it and am happy it’s finished!

[GabeTheQuacker]

finished my heating pad cover. Last thing was to add the velcro.
My new version is a lot easier for my arthritic hands to put on since it is made out of stretchy material.
