MISS MOOX: 
Search results for Rick Rack

Hello...My sweet blogging friends!
In my post I'd like to share some of the bright red cherries that are sprinkled throughout my home. From cotton aprons trimmed with old fashioned red rick rack to cozy quilts...They are all such a lovely addition to any country cottage decor!

Each year my sister, Sherry, blesses me with lots and lots of cherries. I like to dehydrate and then freeze them. They are delicious in homemade ice cream, nut breads and homemade granola bars!

I've been busy in my sewing room this past week making up thissweet little 1940s vintage apron.I found this wonderful vintage pattern thenmodified it a bit for this apron.

Pardon my camera exposure...The apron looks blue, but it's black with tiny little cherries
and cherry red rick rack.

Aprons always look so sweet garnished with rick rack.
The original 1940s vintage pattern incorporated lots and lots of it.

I was thrilled to find this 1940s Vintage Apron pattern.
When I have an etsy shop I will be stitching up
these darling aprons for sale.

I love...love...love the back of this apron.
If you look closely there is a band between the shoulders to
prevent the straps from slipping off your shoulders.
I attached the straps at the waistband
with buttonholes and shiny black buttons.

The finishing touch!

MORE CHERRIES! 


The table runner with the bright red cherries was lovingly made by my sister, Patti, for my birthday.
Doesn't it look pretty snugged in with the vintage quilt and red pillows?
(I "TWEAKED" this sadly worn antique settee...It's in dire need of a
new upholstering. All the soft textiles offer a simple disguise!)

So many of my blogging friends have a penchant for cherries.
And, so do I!

HERE ARE A FEW CHERRIES FROM AROUND MY HOME.

This is a closeup of a large tole painted glass jarthat I store my twill tape that I use for my"Chenille Cottage" labels.

Isn't she lovely! My darling adopted daughter, Paula, from
"Rose Fairie Cottage" made this sweet little quilted portrait
for me for Mother's Day.

(This is the fabric I used to recover my ironing board.)
Thank you my sweet friends for stopping by for a visit.

How I would love to share a slice of freshly baked cherry walnut bread
and a hot cup of tea with each one of you!

Have a wonderful week!
Blessings,
Carolynn xoxo

I had so much fun stitching up these Mother-Daughter aprons. I was able to donate them to the silent auction fundraiser at my church the day of our Mother's Day Tea.

The finished aprons...for Momma and Daughter

I love adding Rick Rack. It adds such a touch of vintage sweetness!

Thank you, my dear friends, for popping in for a visit! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Blessings,

Oh, how I LOVE APRONS! They treat my heart to so many wonderful memories like...My precious Gramma Peggie, her warm, sweet smelling kitchen, her strong faith in God, her loving heart, and her melodious laughter...Times past that are dear to my heart!

SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SHIRLEY...OF "Zetta's Apron"

This week I have been stitching up something special for the very first person who left a comment on my new blog. Her name is Shirley from "Zetta's Apron" blog. In a loving tribute Shirley has dedicated her blog to her Grandma Zetta's memory. I was so touched by this that I thought it would be most appropriate to make an apron in honor of her Grandmother. Shirley loves the color RED (like me) and she has a penchant for polka dots. My dear Shirley...I hope you enjoy wearing your red, white and polka dot apron in good health!

***AN APRON ISN'T AN APRON WITHOUT A POCKET***

***ALL TIED UP WITH A PRETTY BOW***AND A CUSTOM "Chenille Cottage" LABEL***

BLESSINGS, SHIRLEY...I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW APRON!
LOVINGLY,
CAROLYNN xoxo

Hi Ladies!
It's hard to believe summer is almost over. Temperatures have begun to drop. It has been in the 30s the past few nights. I actually threw another quilt on the bed this week.

I made this little Birdhouse Miniature Quilt
using my favorite "Aunt Grace's" 1930s reproduction prints.
Each tiny birdhouse has a vintage button perch stitched on front.
The borders are hand quilted.

I am so inspired by the many embroidered pretties that so many of you have been sharing on your lovely blogs.
My favorite quilt shop has so many wonderful ideas and patterns available. I thought you might enjoy some of the shop samples...and, who knows, you may be inspired, too!

How I love tea towels! Aren't these the sweetest?I am so fond of the old fashioned edgings.RICK RACK... POM POMS... LACE... HAND CROCHET... They add such lovely finishing touches!

I had fun making this little "Aunt Grace's" Sampler Doll Quilt.Don't you love all the Bubble Gum Pink prints?

"Chloe's Quilt"
I made this small Log Cabin quilt for my sweet little kitty, Chloe.
She would curl up on it and nap in the afternoon sun.
I only had her for five years. I lost her, suddenly, to kidney failure.
I miss her so much!

Yes...More of my favorite "Aunt Grace's" prints.
I made this chubby teddy bear using strips and
a crazy quilting method.

I thought I better hurry and post this beautiful summer quilt.It is a sample that hangs at my favorite quilt shop"Sew Many Quilts" inBend, Oregon

Thank you for your warm visits and comments.
I appreciate each one of you! Blessings, my sweet friends,Carolynn xoxo
