It's said that . . .

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

This sale is just for you (my lovely readers)
who are "Johnny-on-the-Spot" (an old American idiom)
because it will only last one day!  

TODAY ONLY!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month


I'm a survivor and so happy about it!  I am blessed as a survivor of over ten years and I want others with the disease to be favored too!  Favored with a cure!

October is the month for me to celebrate and the month to collect donations for the cure!   I am adding links for your conscience for any possible donations that you would like to make.  Also, you could find a run/walk and support the cause.  You can sponsor a walker.  I would like to encourage you to "make an effort" to support the cause.  Hey! even the NFL football players wear pink this month!  I salute them for their effort!  

And this pic from our college UO Ducks team: (I'm an Oregonian, whatcha expect?  :)

Tuesday's Tea Towels

After making my little house quilt (see Sept 26th post) I made several more styles of houses for kitchen towels, and hand towels.  

 "little houses"  towels


 I happened to find this little house print fabric at the fabric store.  I had to buy it!  



Terry towel finished product


Free motion textile art tea towels/dish towels


Love "drawing" with thread and fabric!

Again, these are not listed in my shop yet, but they are part of my new "Little House" line!
