35 pet beds and 120 doodie plastic bag carriers ready to go to the local Humane Society today. The pet beds are made from towels and 1/2 inch batting. Some I hand tied, some I machine quilted. Also are a couple of pictures showing my Mocha approving th
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
Mug rugs for Christmas. I've been working on finishing a number of projects and here are 2 mug rugs I just finished up. The pattern is from patricklose.com
700 zipper pulls finished! Wow, what a large project. I did not realize how many I had made until this morning. Most of these zip pulls are destined for the children's cancer clinic, but a few will go to my grandson's classmates and I will hold a few
Pillowcase for me. I bought a new pillow, so figured it was time to make a pillowcase for myself. This is a queen-sized case and I thought the saying was perfect to keep me going through hubby's treatments. I used a smaller version of the Emily font f
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,

More pillowcases. These are for my great-nieces for Valentine's day. I used the Emily font from Swak Embroidery (it was on 1/2 price last week) to embroider their names so they won't fight over which case belongs to them. They fit on smaller pillows
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
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
Burp Cloths. I have a cousin who is expecting 3 (yep, 3!) grandbabies in January. Her daughter is expecting twin girls and her son's partner is expecting a boy. Everyone is excited, and I decided to make some burp cloths for them. The small frog one
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
