New iPad Covers

I had company last week and it was my darling sister.  She has one of those ipad minis. I had made a cover for it back when she got it a year or so ago.  It was in sad shape as she uses it all the time.  Course her ipad is in lovely shape because she uses it all the time....

Here's her new cover.  Just like the old one down to the pocket which I enlarged a bit by request.  I hope she likes this one.

Then my son came along with a request for a cover for his larger ipad.

I made it in a similar style - no pocket tho - and then I got creative with the stitches on my Bernina and finished the very edge with a square decorative stitch.  As it went over the edge and the interfacing is white and thick there is a neat pattern of black stitched holding it all together.

Still Knitting

I am still working on this little tank top.  It is a bit slow.  I guess I take too many breaks.  Or is it all the people I follow on Instagram...

However it is the project is progressing from here to here...

 Pretty. huh?

Sparrow Wall Hanging

As you might know, I am a fan of Jenny over at Elefantz.  She makes lovely embroidery patterns.  They are simple yet profound and I admire them a lot.

Now look what I made:

Jenny offered this Sparrow quote embroidery for free on her Craftsy page.  (These are the lyrics of a hymn from my childhood.)

So I followed her tutorial on how to add fabric to your embroideries. ( You can find it under tutorials on her home page at Elefantz.)

Every time I look at it I have to hum the song....I can hardly wait to see how it will look on my mother's wall.... She may even sing out loud...I hope so.
