Halloween Tote Bag


I made this tote from some fabric that one of my dear Quilt Workshop gals gave me - I fell in love with it on first sight. Hope you can make out the cartoonish people in the fabric - they are priceless.

Long time no post - Pumpkins 2010


It has been so long since I have posted on my blog - these pumpkins are sewn from a pattern in SewNews magazine - thought they turned out fairly nicely.

Betsy Ross Bed Doll


This one was a lot more fun to sew up, as I didn't have to read the instructions - I do a lot better on my own.

Dolls of all sorts




In the last two weeks I have done a Mary Englebrett wall hanging of a girl (doll) and today I finished a pillow case doll - remind me that I don't enjoy working with small pieces of fabric - the Pillow case doll sdtretched my good nature to the limit.

Layout for gift bags


After laying the two strips (5"X22") in the shape of a cross - sew along the middle on each side - then sew each of the four sides together - hem down top of bag - add handles (grosgrain ribbon) and lace if desired.
