Computer Bag

Annie just got a beautiful new laptop computer and while she was here this weekend asked if I could make her a case for her computer like the one I made for Dustin.  I said sure and we headed for the fabric store.  Here is what we came up with.  I am thrilled with how it turned out.  I actually like it better than I like Dustin's.  I guess you learn from your mistakes.

Wall Flower

I just finished this quilt.  I am in love with it.  The pattern was "Wallflower" by Thimble Blossoms and the fabric was Soiree by Lila Tueller.  I am absolutely in love with the fabric.  I need to buy more so that I can do something else with it.  

The quilt is for my Aunt to give as a baby gift.  It is going to her best friend's first granddaughter.  I was told that the mom likes pink, polka dots and preppy.  I grew up with her so imagine the pressure to make it perfect! :)   My aunt loves it, so now we need to wait and see what Mom and Grandma think.  Keep your fingers crossed.

All of the flower parts and the monogramed circle were all hand stitched down, and I did the quilting.  I think it took close to 20 hours.  But to me, that was 20 hours of doing something I love.  So, long story short... it was great!

This is a picture of the back of the quilt... it was pieced too.  I love the interest it gives it.  It is basically a two sided quilt now.

Christmas Presents

It was a hand made holiday this year for Christmas.  I made several gifts for our family.

This is a journal cover that I made for my cousin Stephanie.

A knitting needle holder and bag for Joanne.  She always carries her projects to and from places in paper bags.  I decided that it was about time she was more stylish while knitting.

A purse for Gammy.  She chose the colors, I chose the pattern.

A crayon roll for our friend's daughter, Brenna.

And a quilt for my mom.

A new bed for Roxie

We decided that our puppy Roxie needed a new bed.  I pieced and quilted the top, and just added a plain back.  She loves it which makes me so happy.  She no longer is sleeping in the recliner in our room, she has slept on her new bed since I finished it.  I am very happy that she likes it so much.  I just ended up stuffing it with old bed pillows which I think adds to the "comfiness" of it.

Birthday Bag

I can finally show you the bag that I made for my mom for her birthday.  I have a pattern that I based it on.  In the end though, I changed a lot of it.  I am very happy with how it turned out.  The bottom two pictures are the most accurate when it comes to color.  I used 6 charms from a Moda line for the stripe in the middle, a solid brown for the bag, and a brown and white polka dot for the inside.  I am very happy with how it turned out and my mom really loves it too.
