Spring quilted charm pack purse

My new spring purse with sort of chevron design, i love it.

Jelly roll placemats

These are so easy and fun to make, they all turn out different. And it only cost me about $8 from Joanns, however the quality of the strips was lacking they were far from 2.5" in some places. But I made it work and I think they turned out great.

My first quilt

This was my first quilt.

Applique Owl Wall Hanging

Recently I wanted to teach myself to machine applique, and I made a cute purse with little birds on it. Well, I really liked it and I knew I wanted to make something for Valentines Day, so I decided to make this little work of art. It's my first wall hanging, I just love it. I gave it to my fieance for our 2 year anniversary and it looks so good hanging on our wall. It's so cute, I think I'll just leave it up all year!

 

   

My King Size Carpenters Wheel Quilt

I just wanted to share my newest quilt. This is just the top piece, I still need to quilt it. I'm a little nervous about trying to quilt it on my small sewing machine. It's called a carpenters wheel quilt. I did not use a pattern for it, I just used the half square triangle method, graphing paper, and some simple math to figure out how big to make it. I just love it!

Crochet Hook Roll Up

Have you ever had a project or some fabric that you just had to have, and then you find it years later just sitting in a bag? Well that was this project. I just got my new Janome DC5100 sewing machine, and was looking around for something to play with, and I thought I'd finally make this.

 

I did not make this pattern. I got it from another blog years ago. She makes crayon roll ups for kids. http://www.skiptomylou.org/2007/05/24/for-catherine/

 

 

I just love it, and it's so much better than my old store bought one!



Terracotta pot to cute trash collector for sewing scraps.

Whoever said,"Do one thing, and do it well", obviously wasn't a crafter. I'm always learning new and different crafts. My current obsession is quilting, and if you've ever sewn anything you know how much little trash, scraps, and clips of thread you get. Well one day I had a little terracotta pot sitting on my table, and I put some of these scraps in it. That's when the light bulb went off, and I thought what a cute little trash collector it would be, if I dressed it up.
 
 
 
 First I painted it.
 Paint at least two coats.

 

 

 

     I used some fabric, ric rack, and mod podge to dress it up a little bit. But, you can paint or glue on anything you want. Just have fun with it!
