First finished quilt!

I made this quilt for my little nephew Tyson. It's the first finished quilt I've done (I have made two other tops, but they are not quilted yet) and I am very pleased with the way it has turned out.
If you look closely, you can see Tyson written into the quilting.
Here is his name again.
The back side.

Roxy didn't like it

I made this cute little flower and sewed it to the shirt like a brooch, but Roxy didn't like it. I was making matching ones for her and Syndi, so I guess just S will have one.

2nd Penny Rug

This is the second penny rug I've made. I really like this pattern, but I don't know exactly where I will put it.

I think I'll use this pattern for a hooked rug sometime.

Custom t-shirts for Roxy

Another project I've done to keep busy is sewing these custom appliques on Roxy's plain t-shirts. I know it has nothing to do with hooking, but I want to remember the different projects I've done. 

This shirt cost $2.50 and the added fabric was about $0.30 for the amount I used. Well worth it.



And an "s" for Sydney, Roxy's cousin.


First penny rug

Another wool craft I love is penny rugs. This is the first one I tried. Blaine made the pattern for me.  It is definitely not perfect, I look forward to improving as I continue to try.


Second hooked rug

This is just a little rug, I will either use it as a candle mat or a little mat for a stool top.  

I found five wool suits at a yard sale for five dollars. What a deal!  The blue in this rug is from one of those suits.
