Log Cabin Quilt

My son came by this afternoon and straightened up my computer and all the USB hubs - I had dropped them on the floor under the desk and couldn't reach anything. Sure glad I have so many smart sons (and a smart daughter too).

I am finally able to upload pictures of my Log Cabin quilt.

First Wall Hanging for Christmas 2010

This is the first wall hanging that I have made for Christmas 2010 - I like it so much, I might make more than one. It is also the first time that I have done binding around the outside of a quilt -not perfect, but interesting and I can only get better (I hope!)

Picture of some of the family

This picture was taken on Valentine's Day (2010) in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. I'm seated in red and my twin is in blue.

Miss Ewe

Our latest Craft Club item - what fun it was to make - we all had a lot of laughs -

Some of my latest endeavors

At Craft Club today we painted clay pots - the other gals are gloriously creative - me, not so much - still it was fun. I wanted my pots to put next to the sewing machine to hold all the utencils of torture that I need to sew with.

I'll see if I can locate the picture of the chenille bathmat I made last week.

Latest 12 Cat Wall Hanging

Remind me that I don't like applique work and I certainly don't like using the glue gun. I am such a sucker for the cat wall hangings - sure wish I could find some cute dog wall hangings, but so far, I haven't seen any that caught my eye.

Also here is the wooden spoon doll we made at Craft Club today - a lot of fun and the faces all turned out differently - we did a variety of hair too - what fun!

coasters for Christmas gifts

Here are some of the coasters I have sewn for Christmas gifts. They are made from 5x5 squares - 12 squares of each of two prints, plus a single square of flannel. Eight of each of the prints are folded in half and ironed - the squares are placed thusly - one print down, flannel sq., one print up - laid with the closed side inwards the 1/2 squares are placed like lattice work around the four sides. after sewing around with a 1/4" seam, they are turned inside out.
