Harrisburg Historical Museum

Today Lydia, Lillibeth, Isaac, John Paul, Joseph, Lillian and I went to the Harrisburg Historical Museum. Here are some of my favorite pictures.This is a picture of the inside of the old church. You can see the cord in the background for ringing the bell. I was surprised to find out it still worked.

This is a picture of a trunk that was in one of the historical homes on the museums property.

This is a replica of old Harrisburg. I can't remember the name of the man who made it, but it was beautiful.

This is a wood burning stove. It has a pig on it. You can just barely see it.

This is a picture of the outside of the old church. I have a picture of the inside at the top of this post.

Lane County Historical Museum Quilt Show

Spoon Knitter and Free Material
Fat Quarters and Homemade Pot Holder

Today, my mom and I went to a quilt show at the Lane County Historical Museum. I forgot to take my camera. This was the first time that I have been to a quilt show. Oh, the quilts were so beautiful. I am almost finished with my second quilt. I found a quilt pattern at www.modabakeshop.com. I am going to yarn tie it together. I will take a picture of the finished project. My first quilt was a Tilda Tapestry made into a quilt size. I glued on the treetops, bad idea, now I have dried glue marks on my fabric. I don't know how to salvage my quilt, so it is tucked away in the closet.

Coin Purse

My mother asked me to make her a new coin purse. I found a pattern at Something to Crow About, a quilting shop in Pleasant Hill. I used scrap material to make the purse.

Plastic Bag Holder

I found the pattern for the plastic bag holder at www.modabakeshop.com. I used a "fresh cotton" Moda charm pack, elastic and white cotton fabric to complete this project. My mom placed it in our pantry, to organize our huge plastic bag collection.
