Well, it was way past time to get my sewing area cleaned up and organized. The first pic is my stash before and the 3rd pic is my stash 1/2 way done. I need more boards, but our dollar is doing so poorly I can't order any more in, so I'm going to see
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
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
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
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,
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
Another project completed. My first successful attempt at applique quilting. Found a new method for invisible machine applique and it worked perfectly. These cute little guys will look nice in mom's kitchen.
The girls LOVE their new pillows. Rylee could hardly wait to use hers - she lay down right after the picture was taken and had a nap :-) Thanks to all who commented on them earlier - as you can see, they were a big hit.
Test stitching and update of instructions for muflotex on my keyholder. I changed the guidelines just a bit so the credit cards would fit a bit better. I will be posting the new design soon and as soon as I get the instructions fixed up and sent to mufl
Here's a pic of hubby modelling his 'chemo' shirt. I cut open the sleeve of a sweat shirt and attached binding so I could put snaps up the sleeve. This works really well when he goes for treatment as the nurses can just snap open the shirt to expose
How Many? I designed this up for my niece, who is a teacher. She has many children who face learning challenges and I thought this might help. She picked it up today and was so excited! She was going to take it home and play with it herself. She is g
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
