Princess Skirt

Yesterday I decided I needed some "fabric therapy" (as Denise calls it) and make a little girl skirt I found on http://weefolkart.com. It's an Eight Panel Princess Skirt and the instructions are very understandable. I feel really proud when I can make something without a pattern.

New Stamper In Our Group


My friend and neighbor, Mariel, has joined our stamping group. This is a card she sent me and it's a small copy of the bigger painting in her office that she painted. We enjoy her contribution to the group and she's a welcomed stamper and good cook (you know, just in case we have a potluck).

Little Girl Skirts

I learned how to make little skirts out of strips of material. No pattern! They were so cute I couldn't stop at just one.


Felt Pincushion

I got this idea from The DIY Dish, Episode 1 www.thediydish.com. They have videos and instructions on how to make various projects. This was a birthday gift for my friend and quilting mentor Denise.

Here Kitty, Kitty and Doggie

Whimsie Doodles had a fundraiser for the S.P.C.A. and offered digital images set of 4 images and 4 sentiments called Paws I Care. My friend, Lois, and I jumped right on them.

My card for Marie's birthday:

My card for swap:

Quilted Tiger and Giraffe Placemats

These placemats were shown at my favorite quilting store, Quilter's Bee, Peoria, Arizona. I had to make them for my gr. neice and nephew, Elisa and David. They were fun and I have another set started for my other gr. neice and nephew. Christmas presents maybe.



Personalized Cards for Sandi


I make personalized cards for a friend/neighbor. Sometimes
they are challenging. She gives me a summary about them and
turns me lose. So far, she has always liked what I've done. I have
made a total of 28 cards for her and below are a few of them.























Is It Time to Get Up Now?

Gees, I've been on a really long nap and so I guess I better get busy on this blog. A couple of my friends have been reminding me that there's nothing new on this thing and so I will continue. I have lots to show. Thanks to Denise for lighting the fire and the fact that you care and want to see my works is so nice of you.
