Creations

Each door hanger is created similarly to how I make them the fabric ones. I trace the girl pattern pieces onto WonderUnder and fuse it to paper, instead of fabric, to create the girls. I use a Micron pen to outline around the girl. Sticky back ribbon makes her belt and two layers of lace […]

Last holiday season I made some holiday door hangers with girls from paper and a bit of lace. I received an order to make some with every day (non-holiday) inspirational sayings on them. It was a fun project; over the next few days I’ll post photos of them here. ~ be strong ~ believe in […]

I created a few drawstring bags for wrapping small gifts for family and friends. Every year I like to give a small gift to the ladies in my quilt guild. This year I packaged up fabric scraps and few pieces of candy. I look forward to seeing what they make with the scraps.

A few months ago, the ladies in my quilt guild convinced me to take home more than 90 of these little clown faces. They were wrapped in aging paper and stacked like Pringles. I finally found a good use for half of them – a wreath for my friends’ front door! My husband says it […]

It’s the week after a holiday – a little silly fun is needed. These photos are the results of shopping with my husband; it is never dull!

Earlier this year, I started making a few holiday gifts. Rather than have them sit around for months at home, I sent them off for consideration in Sew Somerset. My hoop wall pocket kits were published in the Winter 2015 issue! There are so many inspiring ideas in the issue – I want to dig […]

My quilt guild posed a UFO challenge at the beginning of the year. We each brought an unfinished project and swapped. We’d have 10 months to create something with the project. We didn’t have to finish what was started, we could make it into anything we wanted. I received a sweet embroidered panel and some […]

I made most of this mini art last week! Ever the overachiever, I couldn’t stop at just 1 or a few; I just kept making them. We are having a fundraiser at the gallery next month based on small art created on the back of a playing card. In a few instances, I just had […]

You know it’s a bad day when you see this – the inside of your sewing machine. At least it will be extra clean and well oiled when I drop it off for repair tomorrow. I am so grateful to have back-up machines, but oh will I miss the speed and throat space on Jane […]
