025 Half Rectangle Triangles mrs becker

I liked this striking quilt, but I wanted a rectangular quilt....

I made HRTs (half rectangle triangles).

A bit of a learning curve.

I forgot to take a picture of the backing....

Juki Cleaning

Cleaning my Juki!

Who knew you could take the bottom off,

simply by removing the screws?

Before & After.

I vacuumed and brushed out the whole underside; put the bottom back on...and done!

023 Christmas Tree Quilt

For our Christmas, I made a tree quilt.

DH designed it; I created it.

using only 2" squares.

This is how it began, stacks of little squares.

Puzzling??

I needed to visualize the colours together.

Up onto the design wall....

A close-up of the star...

The Star& a couple of candles.

Done!

We Wish You all a

Merry Christmas!!

A quilt for my
M-I-L for Christmas.

For the binding, I used some of the floral fabrics

to make a 'scrappy' binding.

She is thrilled!!!

And I am happy!!

Done!!

Molly the rag Dolly ariana

Molly....that's just the name I gave her

She's for my niece's daughter

Here she is - before

My first rag doll...arms are way too thin

a neck like a crane

funny she's got mary janes on,

but i forgot to give her hands

Morris said she was fine just the way she was but...

After re-constructive surgery

she's got musical hands

shorter neck, and a bit wider tummy

to fit the size of her head

Funky Hair!!

the eyes & mouth are from

my Mother's embroidery floss

Doll Blanket

196 squares plus the sashing & border

Mattress for the doll bed

Having a moment in the sun

A Girls gotta have Gucci's

Inside.... so much more civilized!!

Kitten Holster Morris

We didn't want a "flat kitty"....

kittens somehow 'know'

how to get out of regular harnesses......

I needed a better solution

luckily i found a place that sells "kitten holsters"....

so i created my own

Morris now has his very own holster

and he even helped in the making of it
