http://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com/ is giving away 3 quilts, go to this site to see how you can enter. Any of the 3 would make a great place for you and you cat to curl up in on a cold winter day.
Here is the completed Miranda Day Bag that I finished today and started last weekend in a sewing and embroidery retreat. It is a little larger than what I am use to and has pently of great pockets. The embroidery design is on both sides and the bag is quilted. The flowers are dimensional. I modified the bag by adding a zipper.
Here is the Finshed Butterfly hanging vase that I completed in a Sewing and Embroidery Retreat this weekend. The butterflies are stitched on organza. The color does not show well on the vase but it is beautiful. Complete with butterfly spacer beads on the top ribbons and edges
I went to a Sewing and Machine Embroidery Retreat this weekend. Here is a finshed wallhanging that I made in class and finshed at home. I used my machine to attach buttons for the first time (had it for 5 years). I had all buttons attached in under 10 minutes and it was effortless. I love the finged designs on this wallhanging as well.
Today was a great day for going to garage sales. I found this lamp for $30. The shade is all stain glass. Also found a bunch of quilt magazines for .10 each and computer tower for 5.00. The computer tower is in the shop for diagnostics. If can get working will be a computer for crafting programs only.
Just joined Ravelry Community and found idea for this scraf. The pattern is in "Last-Minute Knitted Gifts" by Joelle Hoverson. I used a cheaper yarn by Patons and did not do any color changes but it is going fast and I like the look.
I live in Rochester, NY and I have been a crafter for years. I especially love Machine Embroidery and creating items with my Cricut Expression. My cat Merlin is a recent addition to my family and loves to help with crafts and computer work. Merlin often lays on the desk between me and the computer and sometimes chases the mouse pointer.
