The Sewing Mom

As if my sister isn’t busy enough, she has gone and created herself a new blog! This one is turning out to be one of my favorites, partly because she is using the blog to showcase her many sewing creations, but also, because she is writing posts that are “how to” posts related to sewing and quilting.

Now, many of you know that Karen is my sister, but most of you probably aren’t aware that she has created this new blog, Kreated By Karen and her most recent post is all about adding borders to a pieced quilt top. Be sure to check out her new blog, I think you’ll enjoy what you see!

There are 14 shops involved in this open house (mine is not one of them because I haven’t had time to update my shop!), my sister’s included. Each shop has unique, hand crafted items and each shop is sponsoring some sort of giveaway, so check each one out and I’m sure you’ll find something (or two or three) that you just must have for yourself or need to give as a gift this holiday season.

Please also be sure to visit my sister’s shop, Keated by Karen and you may even find a couple of my own hand crafted bags there!

If you’re looking for a beautiful new purse, this is the give away for you!

The Etsy shop Kreated by Karen has some of the most beautiful hand crafted fabric bags and she is giving one special one away, this Black on Black Boutique Purse:

To enter the contest and for all the rules and details, be sure to visit I Audrey’s Country Crafts and who knows, you may be the very lucky winner!  Don’t wait, this winner will be chosen on September 28!

Isn’t this gorgeous? This is my new purse that I am personally using. This was hand made by my sister Karen and you can see more of her beautiful work in her shop, Kreated by Karen.

I love this bag, it has a ton of pockets inside and a nifty pocket on the back where I can easily slide my cell phone in and out. I’ve been using this purse now for about 2 weeks and I am so happy with it. I was with Karen in Paducah when she purchased this beautiful batik fabric and I hinted to her that I would love to have the purse she was going to make with it. Next thing I new, a box was on my doorstep and inside was this beautiful bag.

Thank you Karen!
