Cottage Chic Crazy Quilt Pillows

Looks like my mom has caught the Crazy Quilt bug again!  She's made several Cottage Chic Crazy Quilt Pillows:

I've mentioned this before but if you don't know, my mom is legally blind.  She has a very small amount of vision and therefore, can't do some of the extensive embroidery that I do.  But she certainly makes a good effort doesn't she?  These are absolutely beautiful and you would never know to look at mom's work that she really doesn't see well!

Crazy Quilt Finishes

It's been a busy week.  I feel like all I've done is run around here and run around there.  Appointments, having to pick up things at the grocery store and then cleaning and laundry.  But somehow I managed to finish up a few of the projects that I was working on.  First is my Victorian Crazy Quilt Handbag:

I had crocheted some pink trim for the bottom but when I put it this purse together, it just didn't seem to work.  So I went a more simple finish for the bottom.  I think it came out nicely!

Next is my Snowman Pillow:

If you don't remember, I made this piece for my aunt for her birthday which is in October.  My aunt loves snowmen so I think she'll enjoy having this!

Finally, I finished up this Crazy Quilt Teddy Bear Doll:

This is a gift for a friend.  I want to get this in the mail either tomorrow or Saturday.

For those of you taking my Crazy Quilt Online Course, I'm working on Lesson 8 right now.  I thought I'd have it done by now but again, I feel like I've done nothing but run around all week!  We'll have it ready soon!

Victorian Rose Purse

I have a couple of projects in the works.  As always!  But I did finish this block up this morning:

The part with the roses was a tablemat that I found at a flea market.  Kind of a doily but not made of lace.  Anyway, I cut it in half and gave the other half to mom.  Not sure what she'll do with it but this is what I did with it!  I'll make this into a purse when I have some time to do the finishing.

Crazy Quilt Snowman

I finished stitching up this Crazy Quilt Snowman the other day:

I did the little cross stitch snowman quite awhile back and thought he would look cute on a Christmas Crazy Quilt pillow.  As soon as I get this sewn together, I'll post another photo.  This is a gift for my aunt for her birthday the end of October.
