A wedding quilt

I made this quilt for my dear friend Lori.

I am honored that my friend would entrust me to make this quilt as a wedding gift.

Thank you Lori.

The photos are from her daughter Liz's wedding.

They were printed on cotton fabric and stitched into 11" blocks.

This quilt is wedding present from Lori to her daughter and new daughter-in-law.

It looks like a good time was had by all.

Thanks for looking.

Totes anyone? And a pillow or two

Ok, I admit I don't always needle felt. But I do have a few needle felted items in the works.

Here are some totes and pillows I made. I printed the pictures onto fabric.

All fabric used is 100 % cotton. Each tote and pillow is machine quilted.

These were made for a fellow whippet owner and friend in North Carolina.

They are pictures of her and her daughters horses.

The totes measure about 15 inched withd and 14 inches tall, not including the handles.
The pillows measure 17 inches square.

Thanks so much for looking.

This brown tote is my favorite.

More quilts

Yes, I'm still needle felting. In fact, I'm finishing up a Basenji for a friend. I should have it done this week.

On the other hand I'm still working on the fabric destash. So far I have made eight quilted runners. I have donated three of them to Handmade 4 Hounds. Handmade 4 hounds is a wonderful Etsy shop that donates all of it's proceeds to a different hound charity every month.

Below are my three lastest quilts.

I have also finished another beaded box and started on two more needle felted items, a rabbit and whippet.

A couple of more

So I was commissioned to make a couple of whippet quilts. These to quilts are on their way to Phoenix, Maryland. I hope they arrive safely. Sandy the whippet's auction on Ebay is doing well, and half of the proceeds will go to Whippet Rescue and Placement(WRAP). In the mean time I have been needle felting fruits and veges. So far I have done an lemon, a yellow squash, an apple and am currently working on a strawberry...Life is good.

Been playin' in da fabric

Check out my vege fabric wall hanging.

So I had this group of colorful vege(broccoli, mushrooms, corn, beets and the like) fabric that I bought from Hancocks of Paducah a few years back. What the heck was I going to do with it? Here is what I came up with. Hope you like it. I decided to send it to my youngest sister Trudy, who lives in South Florida.
I think it looks pretty good hanging on my back fence too.

Just playing in me studio

Here's my take on an Asian inspired wall hanging. I'm giving this to my Nephew and his wife. I sure hope they like it.

Remember the moose. Have been working on him and will post a pic or two soon.

Ciao!

I've been working, honest!

Since I've been back from the National I've been playing catch up.

I've made this quilt for my friends soon to be 90 year old mother. It has pictures of the grand and great grand kids.
This Whippet named Nickelby sits a whopping 12 inches tall..What was I thinking..That's a whole lot of poking!!

Something Different

So aside from needle felting I enjoy quilting. Well, we've been remodeling our house for the last 7 years. Thankfully we are nearing completion. Anyway, there is a spot right in the middle of the wall in the master bedroom for access to the attic. So I decided we needed a piece of art to cover the area which is 24 x 36 inches. Here is what I came up with. I took 3 pieces of 1/2 yard fabric and cut them into 6 inches squares, mixed them up and sewed them together, then added batting and backing fabric and quilted. Placed it into a 24x36 inch frame and voila! We have access cover. Hope you like it. Oh and I will also do quilt commissions.
