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!!!"

Early Misty Morning


This quilt I had a lot of trouble with because I kept make silly mistakes and forgetting what I was supposed to be doing. Must be getting old!! :0) Anyway, it turned out not bad in the end but it has a little darker effect then I was hoping it would and so the whales can be hard to see but still it gives a peaceful feeling.

It is about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet. It is quite small but quite elegant!

Finally Done


Ok, I finally finished the black bear quilt. Here it is with it's border and all.
