I must have goofed when I took these first 2 pictures. Must have had the camera on a wrong setting. Silly me. Made 2 of these denim shirts with clown with wording around it. "which you cann't see on picture" Clownin' Around and their name on other side of shirt above pocket.

Sure better take some lessons on camera use.lol

These next 2 pictures my GD took at the craft show today. I really did better than I thought. You really cann't see all the items either in these pictures. But that was it. Have kind of mixture of left-over from past shows...

Got rid of a lot of AG doll clothes... It was fun talking with gals coming thru. Maybe next year I will start going to a few again. It's easier where a table is furnished so I only have to bring my one display thingy. That I can carry, and can get all in my new car that I got last spring. The seats fold forward so I have a longer space to put things like that. My old car I couldn't fit it in. But then I may just do more quilting and not bother. I'm kind of getting too old to do this stuff...lol

Well I finally took time to update my blog. Added these pictures of the fancy bib for those of us who are always dropping part of our meal on our good clothes. Am making some of these for a craft show. They are lined and made out of scarf prints.

This one is an animal print and is chiffon. They all have an elastic hoop to fasten them once you are done and want to put them in your purse. Last picture is of them rolled up for safe keeping... lol I am making many different colors and prints. Will let you know if I sell any...

I finally got this cushion done. First picture is showing the bottom of the cushion. The darker color is fabric that I had to replace old botton with. This is all on the back of the cushion. Had to cut off the back of the cushion, has the 2 different compartments for the stuffing on top and foam on bottom and 2 different zippers. Also had to replace of some of the material in the middle section that goes between where the 2 compartments are. What a job...

This shows the 2 zippers and naugahyde that I constructed it from.

A closer picture to show how it's set into rest of cushion. This is for sure why I have never tried to reupholster for a job. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but the rest of cushion is fine. This is the way back that is actually under the back part of couch. They are recliner couches. lol
I just stuffed some fiber fill in it to show some depth so you could tell what shape it is. She will still put reg. cushions and top in it and do some stapling to fasten in in.

Gosh, the sun is out and it's a great day and I even got my 2 baby quilts finished. I thought I had flipped the back forward so you could see that the back is the plaid fabric as on the border. Guess I didn't. When I finally got this one over into where I could upload it, when I took the picture of whole quilt, it kept flipping sideways. What's up with that.

Oh well, just look sideways...lol I added some little bows on the animals...

This is the one that is more boyish, with more bows.

This is how I had thought I had flipped the corner on the first one, but it didn't get done. I just machine quilted around the figures on the fabric. Was a fun project... Now I have 2 baby presents when I need them....

Gosh, it's the 1st of March, my GS's BD and now I finished another quilt. This is one just out of some of my stash. Don't know where it will go, but thought the colors and prints went together. Just started sewing together and didn't know where it would go, but it was fun... Sashing is not even or lots of things are wonky but still had a good time making it. I think, that's what it's about.

Shows a little of the back. The machine is really not good, but it was supposed to look like large crayons or pencils. Not at all straight, but you get the idea.... Crazy as it is!!!!

A corner of quilt to show a little close up.... That's it for today... Molly

Well, I finally finished my first quilt, all sewn together,machine quilted, and binding put on. I really am happy with it altho I have a lot to learn and lots to practice before they will be o.k... I quilted each square with some different stitching so that I got practice on free motion quilting. I found a blog that had a different one for ea. day of the year. I did duplicate a lot of them with just back and forth stitching. But I try feathers, flowers circles and you name it. It was so much fun.

I also did free motion just following the print on the fabric. It's just like drawing. I love it. Especially after I got my machine cleaned. It was way over due, and really could tell the difference after I got it back. No more breaking of thread and nests on the backing. I do have some of them...

Just some more areas on it. Didn't have anyone or anyplace to put it to get the whole thing in picture.

This shows the back so you can see some of my attempts to get fancy with all my different free motions stitching. Soooo much fun. Cann't wait to get another one to that stage. On the back you can see some of the nests my machine was making before I got it cleaned. None after, but they do look bad. I free handed the feathers, but have lots of practice to do with them, lots... Would like to take a class on feathers. and I even have puckers and everything you are not supposed to have but, oh well. I love it, for my first one.

Well here it is!!! A mushroom hat or whatever you would want to call it. It's for the play Alice in Wonderland, one of the mushrooms. A friend's daughter is in the play and she had no idea how to make a mushroom hat. Of course, my brain started turning and I volunteered. Here's the finished product. It had to be grey with brown spots on top. Used that foam board, cut circle 18 ins. wide, with hole in center for head. Wrapped with fabric which is kind of like a fleece. Attached a baseball hat into hole. Made larger circle and gathered aroung edge, and attached to under side of bottom. The top was then stuffed with fiber fill...

This is view of bottom showing underside of hat.

The top of is with spots on. How fun this was!!!!

Here are the orange cheer bows for GD. They have orange sequin fabric attached down the middle of wide grosgrain orange ribbon and have pony tail holders attached onto bow. Their cheer coach just passed away from leukeumia a couple of weeks ago and they are wearing these and doing a special program for her at state competition this week-end. Orange is the color for leukeumia. It is very touching, as they all were crushed when she didn't win the fight against cancer.

Now I have to work on the binding on my first big quilt...
