Pink Friday

Stitches in Time; tiny stitches holding the hem of a linen napkin, stitches intertwined to make the most delicate lace, stitches crocheted by the smallest hook, stitches through canvas strengthened by wool yarn. It's these stitches created out of love that adorn a bedspread crocheted for a granddaughter's wedding, a sampler commemorating the birth of a child, a fine table cloth made to entertain the most important guests and family at Thanksgiving. Each of these stitches has survived the test of time and is so much more appreciated today as gifts from our past and treasures of our future. Join the Boutiques at Make Mine Pink for our "Stitches in Time" Pink Friday event, September 26. You will find the most cherished item stitched with time and love.

Please join us Friday September 26th for "A Stitch in time"

Join me and the other ladies for a shopping event -- "A Stitch in time" http://www.makeminepink.com/pink-friday/

It will be worth it to see just what we are cooking up for your shopping experience.

How Many Days Till Christmas

Look What I Received In The Mail

Nancy Jo is the most talented thrifter I have ever seen. She can find things the rest of us can only dream about. Saturday I received from her a needle book like I collect and a sweet little card. Thank you Nancy!!

New Quilt Blocks

I love these pretty pink quilt blocks. These dresses all have a different fill pattern. The blocks are 15x15 white bleached muslin with polyester thread. See my web site at http://beloved-creations.com/ for other blocks

Quilt would look wonderful as a wall hanging or in a young girls room.

New Quilt Block Patterns

I have finished a set 0f 10 of the red quilt blocks and have started the pink and grey set. Here is are pictures of the first two.

Beautiful Guest Towels

I love the designs that I machine embroidered on these linen blend towels. They are for sale in my pink boutique on makeminepink.com only.

July Heat -- Hello from Tennessee

It is July and it's hot. I have such a hard time in the summer with the heat. Even if I stay indoors with the air conditioning I get asthma and I swell. (TMI -- I know too much info). I have found that here in Tennessee I don't feel as bad as I do in Virginia. Maybe because the humidity is worse in Virginia. But it is summer and I deal. How about you? How do you beat the heat?

My 4th was great -- here in Tennessee you can buy fireworks and shoot them off -- can't do that in Virginia so my daughter bought a bunch of fire works and we had our own show. It was so much fun.

Next week end my daughter and I are going to Kentucky to my grandmothers 93 birthday. She is only 4 hours from here. My grandmother is the most amazing woman and I love her to death.

I'll be in here in Tennessee for another couple of weeks then back to Virginia to prepare for two big craft shows.

Embroidered Screens An Alternative To Curtains

Alternative to Curtains is Screen Embroidery

When curtains just don't seem to fit or you want more of a view, why not purchase embroidered screens. These screens can be customized to fit any window or door and I have thousands of designs to choose from. Smaller panels can be used for play houses, garden sheds, tents, and campers, framed as wall art, cabinet inserts, and the list goes on.

Email me at janetinva@hotmail.com for a free quote.

All items are shipped in a tube priority mail for $4.00 for small panels and $6.00 for larger.

Prices range are based on the complexity of the design and colors not as much from the size of the screen.

Goldie Locks and the Three Bears - 8x10 Pannel $30
Rose Clusters 11x22 $60
Four Corner 1 color 36x40 $80
Welcome or Name Only 1 color not pictures 36x40 $50

These pictures were taken by a good friend of mine -- Will Rosser.

Sweet Baby Blue and Pink Burp Cloths

These burp clothes are made from cotton diapers. They come in a set of two, either pink or blue. The first burp cloth has an embroidered baby bottle and the second burp cloth has the words Burp, Burp, Burp, Burp embroidered on it. These burp cloths are just too cute to pass up.

These burp cloths are $6.00 per set with $3.00 shipping and handling. Please email me for an invoice.
