Quilt Wall Hanging of Abby the Aussie

Iron on Applique Technique Quilted Wall Hanging

Here is the actual piece I referred to in the last post. I’ve always wanted to create a portrait quilt.  Re-assembling the tiny bits of her face was the most difficult part of the process…like putting together a puzzle. I am happy with the end results though. People portraits are next.

Valentines Day Pins I made

These were made out of fabric scraps, stuffing and vintage ric rac.

Katie's Plastic Bag Holder

Because I’m sick of the pile of plastic bags at the bottom of the pantry, because I feel so guilty about throwing away these stupid plastic bags, because I found a free pattern online. Does there need to be a reason to organize the plastic tiger that lives in my kitchen?

I was surprised how fun it was to make this bag holder.  Yes, you had to be there.  I’m just so pleased with it. That’s is all.

Labor Day Weekend Spent Laboring in Sewing Workshop

Hey, hope your Labor Day weekend was completely Labor-free. I was able to catch up some sewing projects that have been hangin’ around for a while.

First I would like to show you the baby quilt I made for my “baby”. She loves Mickey Mouse, so when I saw this kit on sale I had to get it. Skip ahead one year and it’s finally completed. I even added her name by using a satin stitch and my free-motion stitch foot on the machine. The red and yellow fabrics are minky material, her favorite.  Seeing her reaction to the finished piece made  me wish I was able to complete it sooner. My other daughter was very impressed with it, which, coming from her, is a real compliment. The next words out of her mouth were “I want one!”, of course.

"Hmmm, how much longer til' nap time."

You gotta love this website. Thank you WordPress.
Prim pillows I’ve created out of an old quilt from rural Pennsylvania go on eBay tonight. I’m new to the Primitive Decorating Scene so I hope my interpretation of it gets good feedback.
