Redwork Snowman Pillow

Thought I would share one more photo with you today. This wasn't a gift. I made this redwork pillow about 3 years ago. I found the picture on one of my clip art CD's and it looked old fashioned so I decided to stitch it. The fabric border came from Keepsake Quilting. I had the fabric first so I just matched the DMC thread color up to that.

Embroidered Pillowcases

I didn't stitch last night. I sat down to stitch and suddenly ran out of steam. So today, I'll share the 3 sets of pillowcases that my mom made for me for Christmas:







Again, if you click on the pictures, you'll go to my Flickr page where you can see larger versions of them.

I believe these were all prestamped kits that my mom bought. The last one is my favorite. I love those big fat yellow bumblebees!

My 1930's Style Quilt

I just transferred all the photos from my digi onto a CD. So, now I can start sharing them here.

It will take me awhile to write up the directions for making a doorknocker so I won't do that today. Instead, I'll start sharing something of the beautiful gifts I received for Christmas and my birthday.

I'll start with this wonderful 1930's style quilt that my mom made for me for Christmas. She used reproduction fabrics and machine quilted it.







To see larger photos, just click on the pictures and they should take you to my Flickr page.

I've already had to wash this thanks to one of my cats!

More tomorrow!

I've completed the embroidery on the seams for this block so next I can start to embellish it. I have to do some x stitch design work on my computer today but I do expect to stitch on this some more this afternoon.

I just completed this. I thought I would have some troubles working on a small scale but as it turns out, I didn't. I actually love the fact that it went so quickly! Nice to have some instant gratification sometimes!

I also sewed the borders on my large Valentine block that I was working on back at Christmas. Next I'll have to pull out some lace to frame the block and hand sew that on.

And, I sewed up that little doorknocker. The one with the animated kitchen things. I took photos of the process and as soon as I make time to get the photos from the camera to here, I'll post the finishing directions.

Now I'll start on Valentine ornament #2!
