Pink Cellphone Pouch

I mentioned the other day that my aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  Of course, you never have to ask me twice to make something in pink!  Ya'll know it's my favorite color!  Anyway, I finished it up early this morning.  I mean very early!  Thanks to some very rude people who were shooting off fireworks at 2:00 a.m. this morning!

Anyway, here's the stitched piece:

The cameo is carved Mother Of Pearl.  It's really pretty!  I did a lot of ribbon roses on here with my hand dyed silk ribbon.  The flowers on the bottom left are just shank buttons with French Knots worked in 7MM silk ribbon going around the buttons.

I have several birthdays coming up so I'm working on a few gifts.  When I have a couple of them done, I'll sew this up along with the others and I'll share another photo.

Pink Cellphone Pouch

My aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  I sewed it up over the weekend and starting stitching on it yesterday.  This is what I have so far:

I'm sure I'll have this finished up tomorrow. 

In the meantime, I have a couple of new pictures of my Lucy:

Isn't she a beauty?  She's still mad at me for taking Nightmare from her and giving her the little "monster".  Wrigley is actually a really good kitten but Lucy doesn't see it that way.

Embroidered Snowman Pillow

I had a lot of computer work to do today so I'm running a little late on my blog post!  I have some finishes to share today.  First, one of my cat dolls:

This is the one I stitched up the other day.

Next, one of my Teddy Bear dolls:

I don't think I shared the progress photos of this one. 

Anyway, I finished my Embroidered Snowman Pillow too:

I really love the snowman!  I almost hate to part with him!

Also, if you're rather new to my blog, you might enjoy reading about Kitty And Me Designs on Etsy! 

Finally, I talk about Jason a lot.  He's my assistant and my editor and he helps me so much!  Aren't computers and cellphones great?  He lives in Arizona and I'm in Illinois.  Anyway, I thought you'd like to see a photo of Jason.  Posted with his permission of course!

Jason manages the Kitty & Me Facebook page and he writes the Kitty & Me newsletters.  He also puts my Crazy Quilt books together and my online Crazy Quilt Class Booklets!  I just can't do everything!  Thanks so much Jason.  I can't tell you how much you help me!

Crazy Quilting Class Lesson 7 Sneak Peek!

I'm kind of excited about Lesson 7 of my online Crazy Quilt Class.  I thought for today, I would share a sneak peek of the project:

Lesson 7 is called, "Proud As A Peacock".  Jason is working on the booklet now and will upload it when it's ready.  I'll let you know as soon as it's available.

In other news, I just sewed some projects together and just have to stuff them so I expect to have some finishes to share tomorrow. 

For now, I'll take a little bit of time for myself and look around online.

Handmade Gifts

With Christmas and a few birthday's coming up, I thought I'd start stitching a few gifts.  I've never been one to wait until the last minute.  This is one of my signature Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls:

These little cats make awesome gifts for any cat lover and everyone in my family and Scott's family loves cats!  So I have more of these to do.  I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon stitching once I finish up here.

For now, I hope you're not tired of baby kitty photos!  Here's 3 more pictures of little Wrigley:

Isn't he a cutie?  And what a good little cat he is.  And does he have a long tail!  Scott and I measured his tail over the weekend.  It's 12 1/2 inches long!  Lucy's tail is only about 9 inches long!  Holy cow!
