Today I just did this wall hanging. It was part of a panel that I got down at the quilt show in Sept. When I saw it, it just screamed out [buy me.] A friend collects roosters and chickens. I got it done, and her bd was yesterday, so will take it over to her.

Tried to get some close ups but the color just doesn't show up good. The background is a warm yellow with black around them.

Did the machine quilting just on the background and quite dense, so the chicken and rooster kind of stick out. Have 4 more panels this same size to make for someone. There were 5 rows on the panel.

I finally took some time to upload some of my last projects. These were a towel set that I made for my DD's wedding. Her monagram went from a Z to an A.

Here's the purse that I made this last week end out of the fabric that I cut off the bottem of the dress that my GD wore in the wedding. She wore it for their homecoming dance which was Sat evening. Went from long to above the knee.

The finished dress cut off and hemmed. Had enought to make a small drape for her to wear over her shoulders and the purse. The top of it is strapless...

This is a shot of a fall quilt square that I made for quilt club. Everyone made one and then they drew names for all that were brought in for the meeting. I didn't win it, but was fun, and got the pattern for the square. There were enough squares to make a good sized lap throw or small quilt.

This a close-up picture of one of the pillow shams. I should have taken a couple at a distance.


Another shot...

The ringbearers pillow for the wedding in Sept. It is made of ecru satin with the trim on is is latte[color of the attendents dresses]. I embroidered the design in metalic silver and and then sewed irridescence beads on it. I think it turned out great. I plan making a quilt using the embroidery designs on some of the squares. It just seems one thing leads to another. lol

Hope you enjoy it.

Well, I finally got it done and now just have to get it to someone to quilt it. This is just the top that I have pieced together. I do have the back sewed, its just a print and nothing fancy.
I laid it on my DD's queen size bed so it is too big for that. Now I am working on the valances, bedskirt, and the pillow shams...
Am excited to get it this far, and am even liking it. When I get it quilted and bound I'm sure it will hang better and be on a king size bed...
Her bed is so high, that I almost need a stool to get up on it.lol

My GD came over and showed again how to post pictures. For some strange reason when it shows up on the blog area when I'm doing it, the picture doesn't show, just this weird letters and numbers.
Anyhow these are the p.j.'s that I made for my client. I put her name on them but it doesn't show up good. They are the only kind she can wear.

Here's the new kitty Jockamo looking outside trying to find something to watch. He's only 4 months old, so is going to be a big kitty when he gets done growing...

Another shot of him after he climbed up a sm. roll of carpenting and was being in charge...

Here's the other half of the pair. Fergus the labradoodle, who already is huge.... He is getting used to the kitty and lets him climb all over him...

Picture as they were playing....

These are one of the pots of petunias by my back door sprayed with Liquid Fence...

This is one of the pots that I had forgotten to spray with the Liquid Fence . Lesson Learned..... Spray every few days or the deer will eat my flowers for a dessert...

This is one of the pots that survived. Those darn deer. They are not bashful at all and come right up to the doors...lol Will take more pictures of my little container garden and try to post it later... My zuccini are really taking off. This rain made them grow like a foot in the last week.
