Today I wanted to share a favorite tool with you. This binding tool is a tool that I have used for just over a year, and I am loving how fast I am able to make quilt bindings with it. The binding eaze tool is by Quilted Heartz and you can find the company on Instagram. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut my binding strips at 2 1/2 inches wide, then sew them together, and then I am able to take the long sewn together strip over to my ironing board and with this tool my binding is ironed (pressed) in no time. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycZo3596qQD-ZGeTE1E3hj-m22c1VNPkXRHnIHhSgh53OBAhyBCd3KQ7oa8bG6eeW-Uhf9PVLhxofvhHjm7Gnrb_sv4w8FKvA2QcUeks-EeF4BDYMBmdlGn8QfHWQ_qvvuDNxaKZzrNVQ6yyFN5fOo7fShCF0TT6TdR7FojqI7ey2c6s4NtPnkGpbAfw/s4032/IMG_0319.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycZo3596qQD-ZGeTE1E3hj-m22c1VNPkXRHnIHhSgh53OBAhyBCd3KQ7oa8bG6eeW-Uhf9PVLhxofvhHjm7Gnrb_sv4w8FKvA2QcUeks-EeF4BDYMBmdlGn8QfHWQ_qvvuDNxaKZzrNVQ6yyFN5fOo7fShCF0TT6TdR7FojqI7ey2c6s4NtPnkGpbAfw/s320/IMG_0319.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I haven't ever timed myself, but I really should because this tool makes ironing binding go so fast! There have been times I have made several bindings and I take them all to my ironing board at once to press using my binding eaze tool. I used to dread making bindings, but REALLY this tool makes it fast and I'm so happy I came across this company and made this purchase. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbmbrMjLQrS-Zc7QaQFW31Z4hs2p1_6qlrWQaB-aB_zVFBBbiooSy3w0MisqfVUr_H4DS7LdkouCnLrl2iUvkYHGLkk527tU-6o6keFx-qMPdcfPgbYDsvirQhzblZ54uE5rtEbA82N0eLAijy4HPayGZ2papuSyp_ujONwqn-nX6WsSpmbw4OJQLiRk/s4032/IMG_0317.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbmbrMjLQrS-Zc7QaQFW31Z4hs2p1_6qlrWQaB-aB_zVFBBbiooSy3w0MisqfVUr_H4DS7LdkouCnLrl2iUvkYHGLkk527tU-6o6keFx-qMPdcfPgbYDsvirQhzblZ54uE5rtEbA82N0eLAijy4HPayGZ2papuSyp_ujONwqn-nX6WsSpmbw4OJQLiRk/s320/IMG_0317.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my stripe binding to go with my plaid baking fabric w hich is sure to make a fun Christmas quilt. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have a good day and I hope you get to sew somethinng today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Dresses and Spurshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17289027296910845517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957522093998120853.post-37783271757524142192023-11-15T06:00:00.001-07:002023-11-15T06:00:00.145-07:00Holiday Mini Quilts for my Home<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">HI! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I shared these mini quilts everywhere else, so I thought I'd share them here.

Today I have a diy quilt shelf to share with you. First up is my inspiration photo I found on pinterest somewhrere. <div>I looked at the picture and then I came up with the building plans on my own. </div><div><br /></div><div>Before you read the rest....I had a thought. If you don't have tool and can't build a shelf like this, you can find quilt shelves online to buy that are made and ready to hang up. Also, there are so many ways to display quilts in your home. This is the idea I liked best because I really like the hanging rod for displaying mini quilts in my home. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZM68FTOfJeA8AXVyizStZn74K8BQSS_d-kZJ7sRy3dqCFa_oeRnOc1pfk-hVbyT5SyyXA3nSIC91b4IJCgdcRke8RF5oe4lNRVaXrxTTGLXhlf_vK9MSCPnAR7AW7ED_gSfiIF862ISYTVVB6lPqE-eJgr6RxZIqF7HcQqWw3Woxj94V1Z7UyrLceKM/s2532/IMG_8318.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2532" data-original-width="1170" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZM68FTOfJeA8AXVyizStZn74K8BQSS_d-kZJ7sRy3dqCFa_oeRnOc1pfk-hVbyT5SyyXA3nSIC91b4IJCgdcRke8RF5oe4lNRVaXrxTTGLXhlf_vK9MSCPnAR7AW7ED_gSfiIF862ISYTVVB6lPqE-eJgr6RxZIqF7HcQqWw3Woxj94V1Z7UyrLceKM/s320/IMG_8318.png" width="148" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Above is the inspiration picture I found on pinterest somewhere and I used it to design and build my own quilt shelf. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4c1nN1PcadmL_AI7N9npYIyUCXn015VQiSRJR2jfSM-or0s1js0kbx-cAJhsy_Or2S51DTbyj1YChDzP8rw9G-NOMN6nmAcZjAYvHVXhrXpmrVu4ff9MpiE5NA0NcyrMWyPs-LqXCJqMXm-AoDJ93Qso4Dobt6FDdNHaRTTRgWqSs9zPfIz2JZW9dkZ8/s4032/IMG_8365.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4c1nN1PcadmL_AI7N9npYIyUCXn015VQiSRJR2jfSM-or0s1js0kbx-cAJhsy_Or2S51DTbyj1YChDzP8rw9G-NOMN6nmAcZjAYvHVXhrXpmrVu4ff9MpiE5NA0NcyrMWyPs-LqXCJqMXm-AoDJ93Qso4Dobt6FDdNHaRTTRgWqSs9zPfIz2JZW9dkZ8/s320/IMG_8365.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know this isn't super step by step, but these are the pictures I have and thought something is better than nothing when it comes to sharing how I built this shelf. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used 1x6 boards for the two main piece, cut to the lenght I wanted. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used scrap 1x6 boards adn drew a design on each and then with my jig saw I cut out the design that is shown when looking at the above side view of the shelf. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I gave everyting a good sanding, then I glued everything together and used clamps while the glue was drying.

HI guys!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I showed a set of DIY farmhouse books that I made earlier this month with you here on the blog, and now I have MORE to show you!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have loved making these books. </div>

I really like how you can customize these books with any saying you like for a specific area in your home.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also like the touch of green the lambs ear adds. </div>

Hi guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a table makeover I want to share with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought this round oak dining table used. It was in need a makeover, so here is what I did. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Table BEFORE</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Table AFTER</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took apart the table, gave everything a nice cleaning, and then I cut the base down to the height I thought would be a good coffee table height. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I re-assembled the table, painted it with 3 coats of semi gloss white interior paint, and one coat of water based poly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I moved it into my livingroom it was too tall, so I had to take it apart and cut the table base down a bit more. Then I put it back together and moved it into my livingroom. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_OJELywN9USxxzq7v-rogamndasZufaQmpBccILE96T5l8aHgmIglRG082T8Ihh7PsIXFLCGMW6ARdpa0V1VTDVuG_yFyxUigg8QQz-mCHPrIN9DIWBlQDY9uGIB63_zFxieTRlnCOiU/s1600/20190829_205735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_OJELywN9USxxzq7v-rogamndasZufaQmpBccILE96T5l8aHgmIglRG082T8Ihh7PsIXFLCGMW6ARdpa0V1VTDVuG_yFyxUigg8QQz-mCHPrIN9DIWBlQDY9uGIB63_zFxieTRlnCOiU/s320/20190829_205735.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this addition to my livingroom. The table base ended up being 17 inches tall and the table top added another 3 inches, so 21 inches tall total. </div>

Hi guys! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I've shared my ramblings with you. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm curious, do you decorate for fall? Or for holidays or seasons?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do and have for as long as I can remember. I really enjoy décor and adding little touches of the seasons/holidays to my home and porch. I try to decorate using items that I have at my house or by spending a little bit of money to decorate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Often times I repurpose items that I have at my home or I find used items to buy for a couple of bucks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find that if I look for used items, I can find them. Yes it takes time and is a little more work than buying new, but it saves me a lot of money. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now one of my projects that I'm working on is decorating my porch for fall. We got a ton of pumpkins from a local pumpkin farm where you pick your own pumpkins, and so far that is all I have bought. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to find some mums and added them to the porch as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Look at all those PUMPKINS!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was only $15 for the wagon full of pumpkins and I even had some to put on my back porch. I can't wait to add some mums! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi guys! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you seen the farmhouse books that have been on Instagram and pinterest?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have seen them for a while now and I finally decided to make some. Here is how I made mine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP-YwVMmQWupuIOuwGoKbg3jzFgsfJqJehWN3r-ChgtGCsS1LGZXZGfT7b8kpFZXOQ_LOyJqbACAPCBI-G_lxMBpUKYdHRaZao5er6nxgZkuVFzZEhg0Hwt3vp3ps2oX1Kwh0_g4EAHkk/s1600/20190628_222037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP-YwVMmQWupuIOuwGoKbg3jzFgsfJqJehWN3r-ChgtGCsS1LGZXZGfT7b8kpFZXOQ_LOyJqbACAPCBI-G_lxMBpUKYdHRaZao5er6nxgZkuVFzZEhg0Hwt3vp3ps2oX1Kwh0_g4EAHkk/s320/20190628_222037.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought 3 books from the Dollar Tree and tore off the front cover, back cover, and spine. I also tore off the first couple of pages.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRFCMfsrCjkNBb-JaCqTItByUICMyg-jqPlbXSpKCbA7NeroDWn-xKK-br-Sqp0n3VayhYv9bJCup_xYNo053HWQn__hiK9lbyUgHkvRudVWeajykDku7_olNddCP5-VwnUzAofnCQeY0/s1600/20190628_222108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRFCMfsrCjkNBb-JaCqTItByUICMyg-jqPlbXSpKCbA7NeroDWn-xKK-br-Sqp0n3VayhYv9bJCup_xYNo053HWQn__hiK9lbyUgHkvRudVWeajykDku7_olNddCP5-VwnUzAofnCQeY0/s320/20190628_222108.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what they looked like after I tore everything off. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDY9KLuU1wy7VFpaVfIZQutPh2BKMNWmqOXdRyVTcyuWGPkQueisjrBFQK4okjzi3fa0RzEsOmmPYhdP4RmIOLOGw_Z3sPyEowvMu864kzrFNTz8G8ESv4vIr1aoPqEloP4PXTHVIOZc/s1600/20190628_222506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDY9KLuU1wy7VFpaVfIZQutPh2BKMNWmqOXdRyVTcyuWGPkQueisjrBFQK4okjzi3fa0RzEsOmmPYhdP4RmIOLOGw_Z3sPyEowvMu864kzrFNTz8G8ESv4vIr1aoPqEloP4PXTHVIOZc/s320/20190628_222506.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gave the spine and all of the sides 2 coats of white chalk paint. I had a little helper too! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I stamped my saying using a black ink pad and a stamp set I had on hand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tied some jute twine around the set of books several times and added some lambs ear to the top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been on the lookout for a chair like this for a couple weeks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm5rZ5RyXhLGMpaA4xE6e6vP0MNnHV_8bT770jOJZMnD6Okku3qs2GKwiajvona38IlJof0XFYCi636tPoBn459Q3J0IgRhVmWfdXazmH8D6eFgGIxN_E3RC4sn5ZDCEwvcydBAHE2GSM/s1600/Screenshot_2019-09-03-15-08-10-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="542" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm5rZ5RyXhLGMpaA4xE6e6vP0MNnHV_8bT770jOJZMnD6Okku3qs2GKwiajvona38IlJof0XFYCi636tPoBn459Q3J0IgRhVmWfdXazmH8D6eFgGIxN_E3RC4sn5ZDCEwvcydBAHE2GSM/s320/Screenshot_2019-09-03-15-08-10-1.png" width="212" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first saw this chair on Instagram and then again on pinterest. Jessica at the_rusticpallet on Instagram has one of the best eyes for design and décor. She does some super cute things! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I love this chair and have been trying to find one used to buy and makeover, but I have had no luck.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWgx6EruoJ12NxjZYHTYZX4G163XyaqSN3oLilqPhvp_Lt6Jq1IIU399q4-3DmniNXadZugJ-BqrLPVpnIGsg2bXXI80AskKeXYtSMDJtkwZqptxdWdO8Mqmz2qoEDxLOCGWQgwPW_a54/s1600/Screenshot_2019-09-29-00-56-24-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1324" data-original-width="853" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWgx6EruoJ12NxjZYHTYZX4G163XyaqSN3oLilqPhvp_Lt6Jq1IIU399q4-3DmniNXadZugJ-BqrLPVpnIGsg2bXXI80AskKeXYtSMDJtkwZqptxdWdO8Mqmz2qoEDxLOCGWQgwPW_a54/s320/Screenshot_2019-09-29-00-56-24-1.png" width="206" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I did find this chair used and got it for FREE! I did a trade for a décor item for it, so it was free. WOOHOO! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I plan on using the rusticpallet's chair as inspiration for a makeover on this chair. I am not sure when I'll finish this project, but I am happy to have found a chair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are some more chairs that I am using as inspiration. </div>

Today I'm sharing how I made a floating shelf with you. I made this shelf using Shanty2chic's floating shelf tutorial. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the exact tutorial I used on the <a href="https://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2016/07/diy-floating-shelf-free-plans-youtube-video-tutorial.html">Shanty2chic</a> website. </div>

I cut everything to fit my measurements for the wall I wanted to put the shelf on.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I assembled my floating shelf and 2x4 bracket. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the outside edge. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attached my 2x4 bracket to the wall using a level to make sure everything was nice and straight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also screwed everything into the studs to ensure a good strong hold. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7H7Ef565ftTMKP4pvsfHEnHLCzKdNEDS7PTuKfCl1SK4ZsaqSsMq1B7SdE0-U_nxo_hDIAF86lT5HMwFFi3W_P1udA6kuq_ofVXotuTGgmUgyoSp_3MPssWl79AQtpNspBZcRIsOnkIs/s1600/20190919_133552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7H7Ef565ftTMKP4pvsfHEnHLCzKdNEDS7PTuKfCl1SK4ZsaqSsMq1B7SdE0-U_nxo_hDIAF86lT5HMwFFi3W_P1udA6kuq_ofVXotuTGgmUgyoSp_3MPssWl79AQtpNspBZcRIsOnkIs/s320/20190919_133552.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then I set my floating shelf onto the brackets so that they nested together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is another DIY that I really LOVE! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stained the shelf using dark walnut stain by Minwax. </div>
