Mission Accomplished
Hello Everyone,
I just had to let you know that the mission of selling this quilt to raise money for a motercycle for a missionary evangelist in africa has been accomplished.
I am even more happy to announce that the money for the motorcycle was raised by a group of young kids in Washington, determined to make it their mission. They came up with $2500 for a motorcycle to be bought and shipped to Africa so that God's love could continue to be scattered all over the remote villages in the mountains of Tanzania. So it was with great pleasure that I packed and shipped the quilt to the kids and they have hung it in their church foyer. Later, they have informed me, they will auction it off to raise money for the adoption of two little Ethiopian orphans that have aids. What a blessing this quilt has become!
I'm glad I get to share in that blessing!

King of the Tombstone National Park
Here is my lastest and greatest Quilt! It took me quite a while to pop this one out! It is 4 1/2 feet by 5 feet and detailed with tons of quilting. It is definately a picture of the Yukon in all its brilliance of fall colours. The tundra shrubs of yellow, red, gold and green along with the ever present patches of shining white snow on the tips of the majestic mountains. And all this beauty is only amplified by the magnifancent wildlife that roam this beautiful territory. It is truely a glimpse of what Heaven might be like.
The Brown pictures at the top of this post are the back of the quilt to show off the details of quilting.

Baby Doll
I used to make a similar kind of doll to this one when I was 13 and 14 years old. That was years ago and they sold very well back then. I'm not sure how they well sell now but I thought I would try to make one again. The only problem was this time I didn't have a pattern. Well, No problem, just make one up and tada, here she is, all cute as a butten. She could where real newborn size clothes. She has a bum and a belly button and her legs rotate so she can be either sitting or standing. And like Whinnie the poo, she is mostly stuffed with fluff but with a little grain in her bottom to give her some weight. She is selling for $65.
Baby Bunting bags
New Teddies
Here are some New Teddy Bears that I have made. The little Black one sold right away. I'm thinking that people really like the homemade look.
The little Brown Grizzly Bear sold today and it was fun to see how tickle pink the two ladies were who purchased him as a gift were with their special surprise.
The Little Baby Polar Bear is still waiting for a family to adopt him. He is so soft and cute and patient. Each bear has legs that rotate so that the can be in a standing position or sitting. When standing they are about 18 inches high. They have been going for $60.

Sometimes You Just Need a Break
This little guy is a result of getting tired of sewing seriously! He turned out very cute! I made for him a little mouth that is open so that a little pacifier can be put in and he will be happy since he is just a baby anyway. He also has his own little quilted blankie and a little cloth diaper with snaps so that it can be taken off and changed whenever it is needed you know! All he needs now is a little girl or boy to adopt him and look after him with care. The adoption fees are only $60 Canadian. Hope he finds a good home with someone who will love him.
