Labor of Love

  

Tree Skirt

I want to share what I have been working on for a while...

Along with the BOM - Block of the Month I have been doing too.

It's been hard finding time to sew between work and watching my 

grandson. He's my little helper wink wink ;-)

This tree skirt has 45 blocks. 15 inner, 15 middle and 15 outer. 

The inner blocks are pretty easy and don't take too long to

embroider. The middle blocks take the longest, anywhere from two hours to

two and a half hours without any issues.  The outer block

takes about an hour to an hour and a half depending if you are

going to personalize.

Here is a picture of what it looks like so far...

The inner blocks are the stars, santa and 

the reindeer. The middle ones are with the houses.

Below is a picture of a couple outer blocks that you can 

personalize. (can't show you the ones I 

personalized just yet)

I love this Tree skirt 

It definitely is a labor of LOVE!

Below is my BOM - Block of the Month.

I have 9 blocks done so far. The next class is August 5th.

We are getting down to the last few blocks...

This is going to look like the quilt pattern below....

Merry Christmas

 Hello Everyone,

I want to share a few Christmas projects I have been working on...

I started this Christmas quilt a couple of years ago. I just never

got around to finishing it.  Well a friend came over and saw it hanging in my sewing room and said "OMG - I love this!"  So, that made me get back into finishing it.

Here it is just hanging and fraying around the edges, waiting to be quilted and put together.

Now it's on the longarm and I am quilting it in hollyberries,

 just like the ones on the fabric.

It's all done and it came out beautiful. 

I gave it to my friend 😊 she loves it!

I also made this cute deer wall hanging

Over this past summer I went to a wedding and wanted 

to give the newlyweds something they can remember.

I made them a keepsake memory quilt.

Here are a few pictures...

I also received a couple of nice gifts too!

These are absolutely beautiful!!

I received this Christmas tree

serving tray a few days ago for Christmas.

OMG - It's BEAUTIFUL.  - Thank you George  - I love it 💗 

Also got a hummingbird suncatcher - Hummingbirds symbolize

that the spirit of a loved one is near and it also symbolizes challenging times are over and healing can begin.

These are two great gifts that I received for Christmas and I love them

both very much!!!  THANK YOU!!!💗💗

    

Happy Holiday!

 

Hello Everyone, Happy Holidays!

 I know I haven’t posted
any projects since April…
I have been busy with work ~
and watching my grandson every now and then.
So it’s a little hard to get quilting done and post them too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Here is what I have been working on since I last posted… 
The Dress – Penelope"s Dress!

I used all of my granddaughter's

baby clothes for the tutu skirt -

I love this quilt. It came out beautiful!

This is my precious little

lucky Penny! 

All I need to do is add the 

lace neckline and she is done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I also did some embroidery

on a few jean jackets

for my grandkids.

This one below was for 

my little guy ~ Gio

He loves monster trucks...

This one below is for Penelope

She likes Mirabel from the movie

Encanto...

And this one below I did for 

Kalianna with butterflies

and her initial "K"...

 Below is a halloween pillow I

made that glows in the dark and

lights up too - Everyone loves them... I now have to make 

a few more of these.  

I will also be making Christmas ones too.

This is the pattern I followed from Kimberbell...

I quilted these with glow in the dark

thread & used the cobwebs quilt pattern.

Here it is all done!

~ I will be positng more soon! ~

Nice Surprise

Hello Everyone,

What a nice surprise I got a few weeks ago...

I came home and there was a package on my doorstep...

It was wrapped so pretty with a beautiful bow.

I opened the card, which was beautiful...

It was from my brother George.  He had made me 

this BEAUTIFUL cutting board.  It's absolutely beautiful!

I love it!  It looks too nice to use- Thank you

George :-)

I also want to share what I've been 

working on in my sewing room. I made a few dresses for my 

granddaughter... these two were for Easter.

This one below I made for our trip to Ireland

this summer - Can't wait!

Here is my little lucky Penny

wearing one of the dresses...

They all came out beautiful.
