Holiday Craft Source

Since June 27th, 2009, my husband, Phil and I have had a table at our local Farmer’s Market. The Farmer’s Market is held from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. every Saturday during the summer. On our  table we have used books, children’s puzzles, knitted dish cloths and crocheted baby blankets. Below is a photo of the Farmer’s Market held on July 11, 2009.

The above photo appeared in “The Weyburn and Area Booster” paper on July 25, 2009. Phil and I are at the first table in the photo.

At the Farmer’s Market this past Saturday, August 8, 2009, there was a pancake breakfast. The Honourable Dustin Duncan, Minister of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sports of Saskatchewan attended the Pancake Breakfast and the Farmer’s Market.  Phil and I visited with him at the breakfast and later he came over and purchased a book from our table.

That is all the news for now. I hope to post some craft ideas later this week.

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

I was looking through the book Small Quilting Projects by Linda Seward today, thinking I might want to try doing some quilting again. I came across this Tote Bag that I thought would make a nice gift for Mother’s Day.

This Tote Bag is made using the Granny’s Basket block pattern and strips of fabric braided together for the handles. You could make this using a different quilt block as this book has 40 block designs to choose from. The block designs include the templates and sewing instructions.

There are many other quilting projects in this book that you could make for Mother’s Day, including a Sachet, Jewelry Bag, Evening Bag, Shoe Tote, Letter Holder, Patchwork Pillows and more.

If you are looking to purchase this book, I found used copies for sale at the following websites: Abebooks, Biblio, Amazon, Alibris, and Choosebooks and World Book Market.

Happy Crafting!
