Mater........Tow Mater

Aiden's Mater hat. I loom knitted the hat and crocheted the applique's for the hat. I don't have a pattern, I looked at a photo.

Have a great weekend!

Hats Hats and More Hats

I wanted to make hats for charity. I was going to make them for babies but the area hospital only wants purple hats and a list of of other things the hats could not have. The list was so disheartening. I had made a few hats before I found the info out so I will just give them away to whoever needs them

I don't make very good tassels. Some Daddy will think the camo with the pink bow is perfect for his baby girl. I thought it was cute.

This is my favorite hat. Probably will fit an older baby.

Lacy is working with her church, a lady from the American Legion and the Dallas VA to help the homeless veterans in our area. I was shocked at the number of homeless veterans.  They will be having a food drive gathering cans of food that does not require a can opener and bottles of water, juice, etc. I wanted to do something to support this cause so I am making hats.

If you would like to help with this cause, please contact me at csd.9013@yahoo.com

Happy Easter!

January 2013

More hand embroidery. My machine died that had the needle up down and the speed control. I tried working on and finally took it to the shop. I'm not paying that to have it fixed. :( Yes, I can do some applique' on my older machine, it just can't be too complicated.

I made a test block to make sure my hex and embroidery would fit on the size block Linda and I worked out. I turned it into a pillow for Jon.

A mini quilt to hang beside the front door. Yes, that it is lots and lots of french knots.

This little bag is for Chelsi's Sunday school teacher.

I just love the design on this pillow. Makes me smile every time I look at it. This pillow is going to Lacy's.

Until next time.

December Embroidery

I wanted to learn some new embroidery stitches and the first one was a french knot. So for practice I made Lacy this little heart.

Then I couldn't stop.

That's a terrible picture maybe you can tell what I did.

December Birdies

I finished the Birdie stitchery blocks. I need to pick up thin batting and get busy quilting.

December BOW

I'm still enjoying the BOW of the week that Rhonda is doing but tomorrow is the last one. :(

I still haven't decided on a border but I will before I finish the last block.

Happy stitching!
