This is my mom's first attempt at Crazy Quilting. It's a small heart shaped doorknocker. I have it hanging on the corner of the mirror on my antique dresser. Not bad at all for a first attempt! This was for my birthday as well.

I have a few more gifts to share with you and I'll do that tomorrow.

Also, I've almost completed the Valentine Ornament #2. I expect to have the ready later today so I'll share that tomorrow as well.

One can never have too many totebags! Especially when you're a stitcher!

Mom made this for me for my birthday.

My mom made this beautiful crayon tinted pillow to go with the quilt that she made for me for Christmas.

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!
