Be Mine?

I am glad February is the month set aside for sweethearts. I remember when I was young, how special Valentine's Day was to me.

The cupcake is all stitched and just the background needs to be completed. The threads you see are the beginning and ends of the machine's stitches. I will be hiding them between the layers of fabric and batting...

Right now, I am trying to decide what to put in the background. It will be in a neutral thread, so that it will not compete with the pink image.

APRIL SHOWERS

Bring May Flowers

Finished this 20" x 24" wall hanging. It's a mini whole cloth created by free motion quilting on my singer sewing machine.

If you look carefully at the background, you can see bumbershoots in with the wind swirls!

Machine Quilting

Happty New Year!

7" x 12" machine quilted on my Singer Classic 44S machine.

Another Believe machine quilted Believe wall hanging. This version's background is much better, in my opinion!

The back is as fun as the front!

So Little Time

Unless I am working on something for someone else, this is the time of year when my art suffers from the lack of time.

But I have been picking away at a wall hanging quilt of this snowman. This is the final drawing for the pieces I am cutting for the applique. I designed the pattern myself, first sketching it out in my book and then creating an electronic version of it.

The finished quilt will be 20" x 18".

A Different Sort of Portfolio!

I really love hand quilting. It's such a nice, peaceful craft. I enjoy it so much I never considered trying the quilting on my sew machine. Recently, I decided to make the venture and now I really love machine quilting.

I really love hearts! They show up a lot in my knitting, too.

Of course with a last name like mine, you KNOW I am going to do one in pea pods, like the one below!

There are so many patterns that can be done on the machine. Some of the patterns I would never consider doing by hand. The time it would take and the the toll it would take on the fingers.... But now the sky's the limit!

First Free Motion Quilting Attempt

This is my first time quilting sandwiched layers together with my domestic sewing machine. And this is my first rag quilt!

I wanted to learn how to use my Singer to do the decorative quilting. Hand quilting is nice, but takes so long and really takes its toll on the finger tips. Machine quilting is much quicker and doing filler patterns is much more reasonable.

And Tada! The blue side with the rag seams is the front and the multi=colored blocks is the back.

This quilt is approximately 6o" x 71". Perfect size to snuggle under and long enough to stretch out long legs! Fabrics on the top and bottom are cotton and sandwiched between is cotton batting.
