butterfly

these are from a little mat stack...."mariposa'....not much needed to the front as the cardstock is so pretty.  i bought the stack in marshalls for only $2.99.  a bargain.  bows, flutterbyes, lace put the glittered CS over the top a bit.  but that's where i like to live..."over the top"

staggered birdies

too many small pieces in this one !! but it's done.  no home assigned yet....maybe i should get back to some cards...i need to take pix of recent creations

bright colors in this lap quilt

tote

loved the black and white fabric, lined it in white, pocket on front is a quilted square. i even have a pocket inside.....easy to do.

dimensional black eye susans

used tim holtz flower die....folded in half, popped up the brown center.....a bit of glitter...

graduation card

two step owl punch from stampin up...... what a cute grad !!

dresden plate gift

made this mat with the easy dresden ruler.....put a label on it (had these labels for many years !!) and thne made a card to go with it.....a gift for my "enabler", surprise !!

have been neglecting paper !!

made this set of four....inkadinkadoo dress form stamp...embossed on solid and then again on pattern...cut out dress form body and adhered....got the inspiration from gina k tutorial this week....."negative stamping".

table runner

using a fun n done pattern.....very springy.  added some fleece flowers to cover up the not perfect seam junctures.

finished quilt

finished my class quilt....had a sq left over so i made a matching pillow

lot of work, but i loved it  learned not to make bigger than a lap quilt unless i "quilt as you go"

xeena seems to love quilts !

little chickies

 3 in sq envies.....chickie and happy easter on top, inside a peppermint patty.  made for the girls at a school where i volunteer along with other ladies from the service league....hope they like the cute little chicks

made the chicks with a scalloped circle for the body, parts of a scalloped circle for the wings, triangle for beak and 1/2 in circles for eyes....and small flower for their feet.

tumbler quilt april 2011

my first finished quilt...lap sized.  used the small tumbler pattern...DH made the tumbler "ruler" for me...........it was a fun project, and quite happy looking !!

the quilt measures 37x43

this is the backing for the quilt...i brought it over to the front and used it as the binding.  will be a gift for a special friend....

finished mini runner

first finished piece !!  woo hoo.  squares are the four patch posey, black strip border and a piano keys border caps it off.  i backed it with the cinnamon and tiny white dots, pulled the backing over to form a binding. the binding is pinned now as i have yet to learn the handstitching technique for the binding.....soon i hope, maybe this week !!

i am also making a card to represent each square or technique, well sort of....so i get to play with paper and with fabric.  this mini runner is on a chest in the front hall.....adds a pop of color to the chest DH made years ago.

quilted runner so far

the pattern....4 patch posey.....bordered in black......needs batting and binding.  and then i learn to machine quilt.  that must be hard....we shall see.  this is a belated christmas gift for my daughter, jen

easter

the carrot is actually a playing card....have had these for a long time, first time out of the package....i glued on easter grass for the top
