Has been a very busy year. My niece moved in with us with her little baby girl, Emma. Have been trying to fill orders & work on entries to my art guild.
These two quilts are my newest projects. The table runner is now listed on my Etsy site & the lower quilt will be on there soon.
Look for more seasonal wall quilts in this series. Next, Fourth of July!

Well my sis & I have gotten about 20 copies printed of our children's book. We're working on more funding & setting up a website. We want to get enough funds to order more of the copy with the spiral binding & all pictures in color.
Contacted some children's hospitals & the March of Dimes. Hopefully we can get this our there for kids with disabilities & all kids!!

Working on paper piecing in my quilting class. Me & a friend taught the others to make this coffee
cup. They seemed to catch on pretty good.

Paper piecing is very easy, just looks hard.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day!!! I've been working on my sewing machine quilt. Design is by Pat Sloan & very fun to make!! I'm using the blanket stitch around the designs to stitch them down & then will outline the designs when I quilt the design.
This will hang in my sewing studio! Need something to show if someone wants to see my work!! ;)

Here's my new art doll, Rosie! My first cloth doll like this & I think she came out great. Clothes can be removed & her hands have little pipe cleaners inside her fingers so they can be posed. She's ready for her debut!
