Dragon table topper finished! Another project bites the dust!! My cousin brought me the dragon squares in tears - she bought them off the internet described as 'embroidered' when they were just iron on. Could I please make something for their table b
Take-along Place mats. Here is my try at these place mats. They sewed up quickly and easily. I made them a little bigger than the pattern called for as I want to use them when we go camping and have enough room for plates, cups and utensils. As usual,
Foxy shirts. I bought the pattern from Five Star Fonts and it stitched out so nice that I made one for each of my grandsons and my great-nieces, then I had to make one for myself, my mom, my sisters and nieces. Here's us older ones with our shirts at C
Another quilt done. This was supposed to go to charity, but one of my grandsons claimed it as his. The original pattern called for sewing buttons on it, but I didn't like that idea, so I embroidered them on - all 41! The large buttons are 50cm and the
Yellow rubber boots and spring flowers - they say it all. We are finally getting some spring weather, although our nights are still very cold. I needed something to bring sunshine into the house and as soon as I saw this at Embroidery Library I knew I h
Birds at the Lake wall hanging. I made this last spring to put up at the cottage so the kids could identify the birds that came to visit.
I've been making another batch of pet beds for the animal shelters. Mocha found them before I got them quilted and decided to be my quality control tester. I think they pass (there are 18 beds in the pile). Next time I'm going to place a pea undernea
Starry Nights quilted wall hanging. This is a panel from Northcott fabrics. I quilted the panel, then I embroidered eyelet holes to put the lights through. To hold the lights in place, I put tiny rubber "o" rings on the front and back. One of my cof
2 quilts. No embroidery - other than the quilt labels - on these. Got the second one finished Christmas Eve. They are for 2 of my great-nieces. The girls are cousins and spend a lot of time together so I tried to make similar colored quilts so there w
Deco Cats bed runner. I made this for my MIL for Christmas (she loved it). The designs were from Wind Bell Embroidery and stitched out perfectly. I made up the quilt design as I went, but I think it turned out OK.
I haven't been online much as I decided it was time to clean out some old boxes I had hidden away while renovating (and I'm ashamed to say how long ago that was). While cleaning, I found a couple of boxes with unfinished quilt tops - some of these were
Quilt for charity. Here' a quilt I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. I didn't have time to do any embroidery, so it's all just sewing and quilting. I am donating this to a young boy's cancer fundraiser. He has leukemia and we are h
Silverware holder - found the pattern for the jean silverware holder on the net and added the designs from Emblibrary.com to dress it up a bit. I also put a pocket on the inside for a napkin. It was easy to sew up and I'm going to make several more for
Halloween tea towels. Bought the towels last year from Nancy's Notions and finally found the perfect designs. The designs are VERY stitch heavy (over 25,000 stitches per). The ghostly trio has over 32,000 stitches and 200 jumps!!! Needless to say, th
Egyptian cat wall hanging retirement gift. My girlfriend has been 'forced' to retire after 38 years due to automization. She is still a very young 55 years and is taking this retirement pretty hard, so I thought this would cheer her up a bit. The des
