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.

For a Nature Lover

This purse has gotten quite a few oooh and ahhhs from several people. It went up for sale just yesterday and I'm charging $50 for it. I'm thinking it probably isn't really enough but I'm not sure what it should be. It's a great hand bag and large enough to carry a load of necessities.

It is quilted on a batik print fabric and quilted with lots of free motion quilting.

The Curious Sea Otter

This quilt is 22 x 27 inches. It is a perfect wall hanging size! I saw a similar picture on my neighbors t-shirt and I thought is was so cute! I drew out my own version of the picture and then added water, sky and mountains. It turned out way cuter then I expected and people seem to be quite drawn to it. Kids especially seem to love it! It would me a great wall hanging for a kids room and even a wonderful theme for a kids decore. I'm selling it for $400. I'm thinking it won't last long. :0)

This is a quilt that I made for a friend's dining room wall some time back. She Later asked if I could make her some coasters for when she serves hot drinks so I did and I love them. She does too! Aren't they cute?

Quilted Handbag

So what am I doing now? Making a quilted purse!

Someone suggested that I make some handbags so I decided to try.

I had this wolf all peiced together for ages but it just did not fit nicely on any quilt I tried to make out of it so I finally used it to make a handbag.

More Postcards

My kids peiced these flower ones together and my youngest manned the iron for the whale one which I peiced together. However, when I quilted the whale and sewed in the splashes with white thread my little guy was not impressed with the way I ruined it and as he picked it up to examine it, he said "Mom, This is not exceptable!!!"
