This is my helper that tries to help with everything!!! How can you say no to a face like that.lol

This is a ready made fleece that was embellished with a scotty design and name

This is a sweatshirt that I had embroideried some time ago, but added the saying for a Christmas that my DD is giving.

The back of the sweatshirt with another design... Now I think that I've finished for a couple of days.

I finished the apron and chef's hat for an order that I've been working on after I got the Christmas cards done. A gal bought the material and ordered the set for her GD, who is 12 years old and loves to bake. Now she has her own apron and hat. lol

Well this is it, my 2009 Christmas Card especially made for my family and friends. The skinny Santa is stitched with love and I printed the border with the computer...
This is the center, hand glued on, in hopes that it will stick and be straight. You cann't believe how much love is put into these, but they are fun and can send just a little bit of love here and there. Each year I think that I will quit this thing, but then I don't and don't think about it till the next year and then I cann't say no.... I've really never gotten a handmade card from anyone else .... Isn't that strange. I wish that everyone would go back to the basics and do this kind of thing.... Maybe someday!!!!!

No pictures today. Just up and am packing for my five day break. Going to the Dells with the Red Hats. Have a bunch of resale shops to check out and will be going down the Lazy River till I am all shriveled up from the water. In the wave pool too.lol But not down the hurricane, my GS told me I might get hurt. That's how much he knows, who knows, when a bunch of ole ladies get together... Better get busy.

I finally got the pictures of my first big quilt up here. It was so much fun doing it. It's called Funky Four Square.

A little closer so you can tell which are the squares.

I guess they call it, stack and wack method, I think that's what it is. After all I'm just learning... This shows the stopper and border. Now I have to find tables to put it together on, so I can stretch the backing and pin together... If I did it on the floor, I'm afraid that I'd never get up... So then I can do the fun machine quilting. That's the fun part, I think.... I have not did more than that little table topper. lol
I have to get some cooking started for my almost week down in the Dells next week, with the Red Hats... I worked on a sweatshirt yesterday with my friend over in Point. I babysat with her youngest DD 35 years ago. Better go get busy. Molly

I think that this first picture is an example of how not to make a quilt square. We learned how to cut these triangles out and sew them together. Don't ask me how?lol I really goofed when sewing them together, with the pressing, and matching corners...


This is the back of the table topper that we made in our class. We did all the work at home and just yesterday I machine quilted it. I love doing that. Got kind of carried away with doing the strips in center. I tryed feathering around the border. Not done too great but fun for a first attempt.

Another picture of the front of table topper. A little close up....



The entire top minus the binding. We're doing that this next week. I really do enjoy doing it tho. It's only about 18 by 21 inches. But I'm happy with it. Molly

I finally got back to the computer today and am posting several American Doll outfits that I have made in the last couple months. This first picture is a tutu and leatard. The first tutu for a doll that I have made and haven't added any fufu and will add more tulle on the next ones I make.



The leatard is made out of sequined lycra and lined. It sewed up really easy... but had to resize the pattern pieces. Always something.


This a dress that I recontructed out of a bedskirt that I had gotten at a resale store. I loved the embroidery and sewed around it. I got 3 dresses out of it and this is the only one I have left.








These are another apron and chef's hat in size 7 and then the matching apron and chef's had for the AG doll. It has Chef embroideried on each hat in front.
Got 2 other doll aprons and hats done out of this material.




This is the sleeping bag made for the AG or any doll about that size. They are made of flannel, lined with flannel with batting inbetween. It has a zipper around the 3 sides with an attached pillow







Another picture of same bag. I made 3 of them. 2 out of this fabric. and the first one has dogs on the inside and red on outside. That's the one I almost tore my hair out trying to read the pattern. I put the zipper in wrong side up and that's why the print ended up on inside. After that, the next 2 were a breeze.
I'm still working on my table topper in class this week . When I get it done, I will post that too. But now it is pinned ready for the quilting and binding, I guess. Have class Wed. evening. Molly
