I have been productive!

I have been productive over the last few months, even if I haven’t shared!! Here’s what I’ve been up to: 

T-shirt quilt for a friend’s daughter who was a water-polo player. She has played in tournaments all over the world. 

My in-laws celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in July instead of October. I made them matching quilts. I wanted to keep the plaid one for myself but I didn’t! 

Baby gift for our neighbors across the bay! 






Baby gift for a family down the street. I taught Kevin, aka dad, in my first year of teaching. 

Do you remember this quilt?? You know - the giant one. Well, I’ve cut it up into smaller quilts. This year Arbonne’s theme was done is red and white. So, I cut off another chunk and added the fuzzy back that I have had forever to make the cutest little quilt. 

A few Halloween signs I made for myself! 


I was asked to make two memory quilts for a colleague. Her dad passed away and as they were cleaning out his things, she remembered me saying something about shirts and a quilt. She brought me two boxes of shirts and had me make two quilts - one for her sister and one for herself. I wanted them to be exactly the same with 2 squares different (there were two pairs of pjs that were different). It didn’t happen. It started and finished that way but somewhere in the middle, they aren’t the same. 

I finished an afghan for myself!! It is heavy and warm. 
 






It isn’t a rectangle and the border is wavy but it’s warm and I love the colours!! 

Next up, a t-shirt quilt that is a Christmas gift! 

Happy Monday

Gift for the Crafter

 Good morning ladies, 

Just sharing a pic of a quilt custom made for the Crafter. New tradition I’m starting, if you have your head cut open , you get a quilt.😀

What have you ladies been up to?

Festival of trees

 Hi there ladies, 

I just wanted to share some crafts my kids made for our Festival of Trees tree. This year they are taking the ornaments to care homes so the residents can decorate a tree. I crocheted a few ornaments to add to our class submission because we were very slow crafters. Yes, they are upside down but I have a new phone and I don’t know how to fix them yet. Her

Canvas used in two ways.

I recieved two different canvas projects to complete. One I bought and one given to me.

This was the one given to me.  You could paint, color it with markers or pencil crayons. I tried to use markers but they always smudged. So I ended up using pencil crayon. Even that was a challenge.

This canvas was a color printed canvas that was then stitched with a satin stitch.

Two very different canvases, each unique. 

Poppy door hanging

 Good morning ladies,

I’m sharing a pic of a door hanging a couple of my students made. I made the quilt mat and two crochet poppies. I gave a bit of instructions and threaded some needles but I think it turned out great.

Stocking is done

I started this project back in April and I have finally completed it.

There were a few challenges with this one because not all the instructions were there. Plus it is a good thing I have done a few of these (this was #12) because I ran out of the one color of sequin as well.  But I had some in the craft stuff, imagine that.

Baby quilt gift

 Good afternoon ladies,

  I’m sharing a picture of a wonky scrappy star quilt I made for Mr. Her’s cousin.  She’s due in a month or so so I finished it up and Mr. Her will send it to Regina this week.  I’m thinking a winter baby will need all the coziness it can get. What’s up with you?
