In the Pink

This purse was made from a little girls jeans skirt. It is lined with pink cotton fabric. It is so much fun to recycle things like this. I may still put a pink belt on it. If I do, I will upgrade the pictures.

Snowflakes 5

Machine embroidered note card is done on cloth with raw edges.

My latest cards

I've been having so much fun making some different cards. It is so much fun to see what colors will make the design stand out. Each card takes about 2 hours to make. It takes much longer to draw up the design and make the place where the holes will go. I don't think I will make any more of the ones with the crystal beads. It would be too expensive to make them to sell.

Round Robin

This was my first experience doing a "round robin". It was so much fun. It started with my center square, the purple with the flowers appliqued. The next person did the next round and so on until all the ladies in the group did a round. I was amazed when I got it back as I had not seen it after I gave my starting square. Just thought you would like to see it.

Scott's Photography

This is a copy of a photograph that our son, Scott, had on his web-site. I just loved it and asked him if I could try to make a quilted wall hanging of it. I love the way it turned out. It is made of cotton fabric, netting, fabric paint and then quilted. Some of the trees are made with tiny pieces of fabric which I call snippets. It was so much fun to make it and to see it completed.

Purse with wallet

This purse has lots of pockets, inside and out. I don't always make a wallet type mini-purse to go with my purses. It just seemed like the right thing to do with this one. It holds credit cards, coins and bills.

Flowers Galore

With this purse, I fussycut the design from one piece of fabric and appliqued it onto the rust suedecloth. This one was fun to make, but then all of them are fun to make. I never get tired of drawing designs and then sitting at the sewing machine and putting them all together.

Black and White

I have always wanted to weave something so here it is. Now my brain is going crazy thinking of all kinds of things to weave. Hope you like this one.

Black,White and Red all over

This is another "Quilt as you go". This is one side that I will use most of the time. It was a great way to use up leftover fabric. As you know, I just can't throw away anything. It can always be used for something. The top picture is the other side.

Large Tote

This bag is quite large (18 x 11 x 5) and is great for traveling. Either side can be the "front" side and the fabric is oh, so soft. I'm not quite sure what I will use it for, or I could sell it for $40.00. I don't know that I will ever make another one.

Apache Junction Police Dept.

The Apache Junction asked me to make them a wall hanging that looked like their insignia. Since Apache Junction is in AZ. I used the state of Az. as a background.

Clubhouse wall hanging

I made this for the clubhouse in the community we once lived. It showed what some of our friend did when they came to Apache Junction in the winter.

Camping in Sedona

This piece was created for some friends that camped in Sedona for many years. They gave me a snapshot to copy. It was so much fun to make.

St. Joseph and Baby

Since our daughter paints Icons I decided to try one in cloth and quilt it. I know I need more practice but I will do just that.
