It's a really dreary day here so getting a decent picture was harder than it usually is. I like taking my pictures outside where I can get lots of natural light. I think that there's a setting or something on my camera for inside or night pics. Guess I'll have to go through the owners manual again....sigh.
This is my finished doll quilt for DQS #5. I really like it and would be happy to keep it if it weren't being sent to my swap partner. Hope she likes it.

embroidered felt flower and leaf

I've been working on this off and on for a couple of days now. I like it.

edit: this piece now resides on a hat making it look very stylish.

The back of the heart. Forgot to mention that I was inspired by some of Amiee Ray's embroidered designs.

A project that I've been working on. Think that this will be added into the package that I plan on sending my sister for Christmas. Have to add stuffing and a hanger and then finish the blanket stitching around the edges.

Here's the beginnings of my doll quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap #5. I decided not to use that particular striped fabric although I loved it, because in my haste I cut it wrong. I wanted the stripes to radiate out from the center. I used a different fabric and I think that I actually like it better. Pictures coming soon. I really hope that my swap partner will like my color choice. She said earth tones and I have always interepted earth tones this way. You know, blues, greens, some shades of browns and reds and oranges.

About Me

My photo
I'm a wife and a mom to two grown sons. I am owned by 3 cats and 1 dog. I love chocolate but lately I've been cutting back on my chocolate love...and I've been drinking tea and exercising. Yeah, I miss chocolate but my jeans fit me better.
