Spindles Designs by Mary and Mags
Mom taught us how ... now we create together
We have been super busy shopping, that is never hard to do, and doing the things we love, sewing, designing, quilting, embroidering…the list goes on. Trying to make sure that we have enough great Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas seasonal items in our Etsy shop. So have a look at what the New Items in Our Etsy Store are.
Halloween is here and going strong at our Etsy Shop. Here is a look at what’s new this Halloween.
For details on these items as well as others visit our Etsy Shop.
It was fun to go through my stash and to purchase these great colors to make this wall hanging.
My mother lives in another state and decided to come visit for Christmas so I was able to see her
open my gift. She loved it.
She had my brother hang it in her living room on the coat closet door so everyone can see it.

For years I watched my mother make things to give as gifts for Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, and any other holiday you give gifts. It is no surprise I like to do the same thing. After my nephew was born I decided that my mom needed a decoration about grandkids. It was her first grandchild and I knew he was going to be spoiled, as I knew all grandchildren would be at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I set off to find the perfect gift. I knew I wanted it to say, “Grandkids Spoiled Here” but beyond that I really was not sure. I had just caught the sewing bug and was (1) too cheap to go buy a pattern (not that I could find one I liked) and (2) too picky about what I wanted that I decided to design my own project.
This was my first true attempt and making a pattern. I really had no idea what I was doing. I knew enough to make sure that it would fit together properly, and I had a computer and printer to use to get shapes and letters. I jumped right in and built what I could, then I found some great buttons to add to what I had created.
It was definitely not perfect, but I learned about the design process and well, my mom loved it! That was enough for me.
