A Little sarahjane Embroidery...

This is my second embroidery of this pattern...just as delightful as the first!  Substituted applique instead of doing a satin stitch on the letters, make it do.  Best decision ever!!

Batman...

Just finished this up last night binding late into the night so it can be shipped to Texas for a very lucky young man....
Hope it gets there in time for Santa...

Got this sweet little quilt sewn up this morning...just needs borders and embellishments...

Batman quilt...

I am going to make this Batman quilt into a baby quilt for a special super hero project...I will be putting red borders around it...Awesome...for information how to purchase this pattern here is a link:  Batman Quilt. (image is taken from the Craftsy website)

Scrappy Crossroads and Miss Mary Kathleen...

 Meet my new little sewing machine...She was built in Scotland in my birth year.  I have given this Scottish Lassie the proper name of Mary Kathleen.  She is a 3/4 machine, the size of a featherweight but with twice the motor power...

 Lori Holt had this tutorial on her blog and since I had pink background material and a plethora of

2 1/2" squares, I set out and sewed this up...what a fun sew!!!  That is my handsome husband whose shadow you see...

There's a lucky new baby on the way...

 New baby is on the way...can you guess that it is a girl?

 I hope she likes this pink and brown quilt with minky on the back....so nice for cuddling...

 A pair of quilted baby shoes to adorn her feet...

And who wouldn't love these beaded socks...

Near Finish....

Makes me think of near death...hahaha...sometimes we feel like we are near death when finishing up UFO's, but this UFO was really fun to work on.  About 1 year ago, I had it sewn up, but I needed to add embroidery to the ants, make ruffles for the watermelon and then quilt it...done and done....just need to add binding... 

The pattern is by Kimberbell Designs....this is one of her Cuties patterns.  You can find the pattern here:  http://www.kimberbelldesigns.com/online-shop.htm

Welcome Home...

 Kimberbell designs has designed a year long series for Quilts and More called "Welcome Home." These cute little door hangers are so adorable and fun and easy to make....

Here are my Spring and Summer door hangers...Fall and Winter are waiting for the magazines to come out...can't wait.  If you are looking for a fun, quick and adorable home decorating project, give this one a try...I did and I love them!!!

Tone It Down...

Tone It Down...This quilt was featured in American Patchwork and Quilting....it uses low volume fabrics and I really fell in love with it...

 This image was taken from Jolly Jabber, Fat Quarter Shop.  For the sashing in this quilt, a turquoise color was used through out where as in the above photo, the sashing is done with low volume....

 My low volume blocks so far...I have 5 and need another 20 to make this a nice queen size....

Another shot of my quilt block...Today I made a decision to use a colored sashing like the quilt from Fat Quarter Shop, Jolly Jabber...I am thinking of maybe doing a solid there...any suggestions as to what color to use???

Hugs and Kisses....

 Just finished sewing this fun hugs and kisses for a very special baby...this is my friend Shari's first grandbaby...I wanted the baby to feel she is going to be loved to pieces by her grandma...it is backed with hot pink minky....I think I want one...

 This is a little diaper clutch...housed inside are baby wipes, a changing pad and some diapers...It is locked, loaded and ready to go...

If you turn your head sideways, here I am at Suppose on the Utah, Idaho, Wyoming shop hop...I get to be on the red carpet with Hermione and Harry Potter...whoohoo...

Hand Painted and pretty...

If you like these paintings, you can have your own...Artist Katy Hughes is  going to graduate school in Colorado and is taking orders so she can help pay for expenses associated with her schooling.  These darling paintings are 5 x 7 but she can do other sizes as well.  She is charging $20.00 for one or $35 for two.  She can do sewing machines, rotary cutters, seam rippers, whatever you heart desires...the picture on the left is yarn and knitting needles.  I just loved them and for hand painted art...you can't beat the price.  If you are interested, email me at meatsmj@aol.com and I will give you her information.
