I went to my friend Val's house yesterday and we did some crafty things while "talking story." She was working on a Chinese New Year pincushion for Megan at Beetlegrass for a trade. I saw some Valetine Scotties all cut out and asked her if mine was made. It wasn't. So I looked for one with my initial and decided to sew it up myself! She got the idea from All Sorts I forgot, but I'll link it when I find out. Val's scotties are done in a Mary Engelbreit theme / color. ME loves scotties too! Here's the finished Scottie! Oops! Our camera is out of batteries. Will post the pic as soon as I can.
Please. . . if anyone knows who made something very similar to this scottie where we could have gotten the idea let me know. I want to give credit and link it. Thanks! I finally found it! It's All Sorts blog! Yay!
I had to make a donation to Goodwill so we decided to check out the nearby quilt shop and bead shop. We bought some fat quarters the quilt shop had on sale for $1.00 each! I'll post the ones I got as soon as I get batteries for the camera.
We went to the bead shop, but Val got hypoglycemic and had to each lunch so we left to eat at Ige's. Mmmm! I had the sparerib plate lunch and Val had the kalua pig and long rice plate lunch. Yummy! We went back to the bead shop after lunch and val bought some beads to make a "Chinese Bracelet" as she calls it for a friend from her Mary Engelbreit AOL group. Jackie (her ME friend) has been making "signatures" for people in the group. Val asked her to make some for me too even if I'm not in the group and she did! The bracelet is a "thank you." I'll post pics of the bracelet when Val sends me the pic.
Mmmmm....Ige's. Love their andagi:)
