Well I'm finally finished with the most of the cheer bows for the All Star cheer team. It seemed like it took forever to finish them. They have a competition tomorrow so they're done just in time. I still about 6 to finish, but for now they have enough for everyone. Have to make some extras, and ran out of some of the materials. This picture is all of them together.

These are the corker bows for the minis. All the little ones.

These are the ones for the Dream Team. This is a group of challenged kids. All ages from little on to adults. The senior girls work with them. My GD works with a little gal with CP. She is such a cutie and so proud when she is done with the performance...

These are the ones with for the youth group. The aqua on them are sequined fabric.

These are the bows for the senior group. They are wider and bigger. The back ribbon is 3 ins. wide, with sequined fabric on top. Then there is a white grosgrain ribbon on top of that with a narrow silver fabric on top of the white ribbon.

Their uniforms are black, aqua, white and silver. So that's what I've been up to for the last couple of weeks. They are very time consuming. Guess that's why they are expensive to buy.

Oh my, finally here I am again. I had to get my picture uploaded again after I had the problems with the computer. Finally got it done in between my projects. Still have many more in progress, so had better explain. These are the cheer bows that I have made for my GD's cheer team. They need them for Dec. 11th for a competition. Still have 4 more to get finished

A close up of the bows. They are made of 2 layers of grosgrain ribbon, with the red layer of sequined fabric cut in strips. They all are bonded together with heat and bond. Then to sew them together, as the bonding makes them stiff so they hold up better. It is a fun job...

Here's the chair cushion that I made for my old rocker. Picked it off the curb 50 years ago and refinished it. Wanted to have a rocker for my first baby girl. She will be 50 in Jan. Oh, how time does go on. It is still rockin'.....

I recovered my pillows to give my some accent color in my new colors. Just got a new loveseat that reclines and a recliner. Had sold my big hide-a-bed and 2 recliners. Needed to downsize a little. Went from hunters green to more beige or brown, and they are much more comfty...

These next 3 pictures are of jewelry that I have cocheted with fun fur and other fun yarns, added pony beads to give them a little bling... This one was more for summer. You can use just about any weird looking yarn or strings or ribbons..... just the chain stitch with any beads added...

I love wearing them with sweats and blue jeans as they just are more casual. Wish I had made them a little longer, but they will do.

Fun to make and fast...

Guess that's enough for today. If I get better at posting things on here I am going to try to post more often. I have so many projects going that I could probably add every day. But then, it just makes life soooo much more fun when you're so busy that you don't have any time to get in trouble... LOL

I finally figured out how to upload these 2 pictures of the purse that I made at the quilting show at Marshfield last Fri. The purse part is a quilted piece of 2 fabrics, and the handle and accent strip is made from a man's tie.


This is a shot of the back of it. Thought it turned out kind of cute. The colors are a bit brighter than it shows on the computer picture. It is lined and has 1 pocket inside. I must get busy with a few final chores outside...

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
