Selling My Quilt Art and Anything Else I Make

Hi to all that come by this blog.
On this blog you will find many of my creations, some of which have been sold, some given away as gifts and others given away for fund raisers mostly for orphan children.  Still, Since I do have to make a living, most everything has either been sold or is for sale.  If you like something, please inquire by leaving a comment or by e-mailing me at:  momof4boys2004@hotmail.com .  I will be happy to either sell it to you or make you another one that is similar.  I do have to say that non of the work turns out exactly the same because each one is an original art and not a print.  Please also keep in mind that since everything is made from fabric, the different kinds colors come and go.  Keep in mind also that this is an Art form and take many hours and more hours of work between keeping house, homeschooling my children and raising them.  The prices will vary but for most will be in the several hundred dollars range.  Please contact me when you are inquiring about an item and I will be happy to give you a price.  I am always open for some negotiating as well.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.

Latest quilts

This one was a gift for my wonderful neighbors for Christmas



This Swan quilt speaks of God's unfailing love and protection.
The verse I thought of just after I made it was, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."
I have donated this quilt to be a prize in a draw for people who are raising money to help a little boy named Vanya to find a permanent family.  He is an orphan in Ukraine who is fast approaching the age where he will have to be moved from the orphanage (he's only eight years old) and because he has no one to be his family, he may end up in a mental institution or some other unhealthy place for him to be.  He has HIV but is otherwise healthy and thriving and is a good little student.  

(few months later) Update:  Vanya has been adopted by an American family who love him.  The little boy has a home.


Tombstone national park again :0)

Fireweed in Yukon

More chickadees

How do you make Northern lights out of fabric.  Well, this is what I did and it isn't too bad.  :0)

This one has been made yet again.  It was given away thought for a Christmas party.
And this Yukon midnight one has been made yet again by popular demand.  LOL mostly by my husband who loves airplanes.

Nasilele




Here I have a little African doll. Her name is Nasilele! I called her that because that is one of the most beautiful names I'de heard when I lived in Africa years ago. Anyway, as you can see she loves bright colours, or is that my preferance? Whatever the case, she is indeed a one of a kind Waldorf style doll.


I will have to make one thing clear though. These dolls that I make are indeed made like a Waldorf doll but not with as much natural fibres. They do have some real wool in their heads to give that special firmness but I have used acrylic and polyester stuffing and fabric for some of them. They are however, still durable and lovable and I hope you would like to adopt one. :0)

Noella Joy and Edward James







Here are two more little ones ready for adoption. They are about 12 inches tall and made by me. They are Waldorf style dolls with some of my own style added. I have been really enjoying making these little people.



Kaitlynn Anne







Here is the latest doll that I have made. She stands about 12 inches tall. Her legs can rotate and so can her arms. I made her yesterday and she turned out to be a little beauty. I hope you like her.

Tombstone National Park


This is a quilt that I have worked on all week. It was a comissioned quilt. The people who asked me to make it intend to hand it over a murphy bed in their house. They had some photos of this mountain range that they wanted me to try and copy but they were summer photos with gray and green colours and a very cloudy sky. They asked if I could give the picture a facelift by making a sunset sky, fall colours, and putting some bunches of fireweed in the forground. This valley at Tombstone national Park in Yukon, Canada is actually famous for it absolutely stunningly beautiful patches of yellows and reds that miander up the valley toward the famous Tombstone mountain peek. It has the look of a paradise and is definately a photographer's heaven.
I hope I was able to capture some of that fall beauty in this quilt.

The quilt is 5 feet by 3 feet and sold for $700 although it was probably worth more. The details in the quilting are incredible and give the landscape an awesome texture. It is unfortunate that it can't be seen on the photo.

However, enjoy the colours and the picture.

Cozy Cubs Quilt







Here is a quilt that I just made for a toddler size bed complete with pillow and case. It is made out of 100% cotten fabric and has bamboo batten. It is so soft and cute and cozy. My own little son has requested one for himself. Maybe for Christmas or his Birthday! It would make a wonderful gift.
