nativity

I made this nativity scene and then Blaine framed it, (unfortunately, I didn't get a pic of it framed). We gave it to his parents for Christmas. It was quite large, which you can't tell from this pic. I liked the way it turned out, but it was harder than I expected because there were so many little flesh colored parts to stitch on.


It is all made of wool.

Birthday gift

Roxy got invited to a birthday party the other day, I made this shirt for her little friend.

The tree isn't as wobbly as it looks in this picture.
This is a matching hair bow to go with it.
Then, I emptied a soup can from the bottom, wrapped it in scrapbook paper and put the t-shirt in it.

After I glued the bottom back on, I put the bow on the lid, Roxy made a card, and voila- present ready and wrapped.

For Taylor

I made this blanket for my niece Taylor for Ben to give her for Christmas.

The back is Minky material, so, so soft.
It says her name in the stitching right here. My neighbor did the quilting, I just pieced it and did the binding.
I also made a doll quilt for her babies.
I did the binding with the Minky also, it was very hard for me to bind with, but looks good and will be nicer for her little hands to hold onto, so it was worth it.
