Yeah

Project Finished. My friend Uwessa who had a birthday in May is waiting for a homemade gift I promised and this will work. How cute it turned out with the beading and decorative stiches.

Another New Project

Just a little bag. Using some decorative stitches.

The Fever

In an effort to get my adult daughter to like sewing as much as I do, we went to Joanne Fabric's. Bought a simple dress pattern.

We bought 2 different fabrics.

We plan on making the dress on the right side, view A. More posts to come with the finished fashions.

Sewing Class

Went to sewing class yesterday, to learn about the maching embroidery feature on my machine. Very involved, I can see the creative possibilities are endless using this technique. Here are a couple of the practice designs.

Previous Commitments

I am in the process of making my soon to be newest newphew a quilt. His name is Max and is due on Sept 21, 2009. My sister Joan and her husband Charlie are expecting their second child. Lil Charlie was born April 15, 2008. Lil Charlie recieved a quilt when he was born all hand pieced, hand appiqued and hand quilted. Sky Dreams is the pattern name designed by Claire Oehler.

Max is getting a more traditonal quilt. Called Double Dutch. Design by Sandra Klop. Published in American Patchwork & Quilting Feb, 2009 issue.

This is the 1st block. All pieced by hand. Alot of triangles. I feel the need to make this quilt by hand. Like I did for Lil Charlie. It's a sickness I guess.

The yellow background is the backing to my Valori Wells practice quilt.
