Pot holders coming out great. Big hit!

Working on coffee potholder orders! Everyone seems to love these as a theme.

Has been a very busy year. My niece moved in with us with her little baby girl, Emma. Have been trying to fill orders & work on entries to my art guild.
These two quilts are my newest projects. The table runner is now listed on my Etsy site & the lower quilt will be on there soon.
Look for more seasonal wall quilts in this series. Next, Fourth of July!

Well my sis & I have gotten about 20 copies printed of our children's book. We're working on more funding & setting up a website. We want to get enough funds to order more of the copy with the spiral binding & all pictures in color.
Contacted some children's hospitals & the March of Dimes. Hopefully we can get this our there for kids with disabilities & all kids!!

Sold my runner named: Greenhouse Garden. Love this runner! Hmmmm should I may another one??? Dilemma Dilemma

Working on paper piecing in my quilting class. Me & a friend taught the others to make this coffee
cup. They seemed to catch on pretty good.

Paper piecing is very easy, just looks hard.

Working on my Santos stump doll with ladies all over the world on Facebook. Learning new techniques for sculpting!

My article is out in the Bainbridge Living magazine. A reporter called me, came to my house to interview me & now I'm in print. For the first time. She mentioned our book & my dolls. We're going live in Kickstarters.com in January.
Stay tuned!!!!

Adding Pot Holders & Mug Rugs to my Etsy site in time for Christmas. Getting ready for the Holidays! What are you working on out there?

This is a pumpkin table runner I've started on. I think it'll be a great Fall project! Will be on my Etsy site soon! So fun!

Hey all, would LOVE to see what everyone is working on these days. I'm starting on my Fall work & look forward to cooler temps & changing of the season!

Our pup, Elvis. He's a trucking pup. He goes on the road with my hubby. Elvis's handle is: Black Eyed Pea!
He's half Chihuahua & half Jack Russell.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day!!! I've been working on my sewing machine quilt. Design is by Pat Sloan & very fun to make!! I'm using the blanket stitch around the designs to stitch them down & then will outline the designs when I quilt the design.
This will hang in my sewing studio! Need something to show if someone wants to see my work!! ;)

Working on Block of the Month from Pat Sloan's book with my quilt group. Pic on the left is my latest block, August.

Here's my new art doll, Rosie! My first cloth doll like this & I think she came out great. Clothes can be removed & her hands have little pipe cleaners inside her fingers so they can be posed. She's ready for her debut!
