Summertime is always a busy time in more ways than one! Wheat needs to be harvested, straw and hay need to be baled, gardens need weeding, yards need mowing and 4-H is in full swing! Last week we started our 4-H judgings with livestock interviews and skill-a-thons. Every week now until fair we have many projects to be judged. My husband and nephews put up 1,900 bales of straw yesterday...yes you read that number right! Needless to say they are tired but glad the work is done. I have not spent much time in my sewing room so I thought I might share some of my vintage needle books in this post...
Oh how I love antique sewing items, especially those from my family. This past week I took Mom to a few quilt shops and her and Dad both to Amish Country in Northeast Ohio. It was a great day and Mom and I found many more treasures to sew! This week we have our quilt guild meeting and a quilt show to visit. Although my schedule is a busy as it can get, I feel making time for what is important is at the top of the list:) No matter how busy you are, make time for what matters...family, friends and what makes you happy. Many summertime blessings...

Those needlebooks are pretty sweet! Great find! I'm also a lover of antique sewing items:)
I love the old needlebooks. The images are so much fun.
You are right to take time to spend with your parents, family and friends. These are moments all will cherish.
Have a wonderful week.
The old needle books are really neat!
Glad you had a great time in Amish Country. We had a great time at the antique car show :)
Cool needle books. Too bad we don't live closer since we seem to have so much in common. Well, actually it's probably better this way, otherwise I'd be over at your house all the time, and you would be calling the police saying there's stalker outside your door that you can't get rid of. HA HA
Love those antique needlebooks!
Hey Jenna! Glad to hear you're having a great summer! I'm still working on unpacking but I am getting some sewing in. I need to get busy and use my stash! I'm actually getting rid of some of my lace, I just have way too much stuff!!!
