For those of you who weren’t able to attend the free clinic put on by Springfield’s very own New Age Auto, check out these photos from the event.
It felt like the Academy Awards….we had amazing food and left with a goody bag full of useful things!
Women’s Car Care Clinic
My friends at New Age Auto Repair in Springfield, Oregon are putting on their first Women’s Car Care Clinic.
New Age Auto Repair
3834 Main Street, Springfield
541-747-5151
It’s a FREE event intended for women who are inspired to be more confident about car care. I had my car looked at by Nate, the owner, and he did a marvelous job of communicating and diagnosing the problems.
The event is going to be held on Saturday, October 24, 2015 from 2-4 pm. Sign up today on their website! Space is limited, so don’t wait too long. I think you will find Nate and Isabelle delightful business owners who are trying to do the right thing.
And happy quilting!
Halloween Wall Hanging
Halloween is upon us!
I found this cute project on Pinterest. And although it’s designed for a paper craft project, I thought it would look good in fabric too.
So in an afternoon (yes, you read that right!) I made it in the form of a wall hanging. How was I able to make it so quickly? Well, it was all iron-on applique using scrappy assorted black fabrics. There is no blanket stitching around the edges (way too time consuming at this point in my life!). Bing! And no quilting. I just made a “pillow case” type sandwich and inside out it went. Bang! Stitched around the edges to hold it. Boom! I even added in the hanging sleeve when I made the sandwich so I didn’t have to sew it on later. And of course there was no binding to do because it was turned inside out. Then my hubby cut me a thin piece of wood to go inside the hanging sleeve so I could bring it to work and hang it there (that only took about 5 minutes)! Done!
Sometimes I even amaze myself. Bing. Bang. Boom. Done! Happy Halloween!
