Squares for Quilt

Here is the finished quilt. The squares are courderoy and the outside and back are extra soft!
I bought this great embroidery book with tons of patterns. It's a great thing for me to do while we're watching tv and just hanging out. All of these squares will be part of a small quilt that I'm going to make. I thought this would be a great way to get some practice in - especially with different stitches. So, hopefully my friend this is for will really enjoy it!














More Onesies

Two flowers made from yo-yos.


Booties to match PJs

Here's a fun pair of booties to match the PJs that I made. To be honest, although this was a learning experience with some new techniques and materials - it is not one that I would be thrilled to repeat.

Kimono Style PJ's

Here we go - it's all finished.
Here's the finished top. See it's got the cute little ties on the side and binding around the top.

Okay, finished with the pants. So, here we go...getting closer!I thought it would be fun to make them stand up so you get a better idea!! :)

Saw this fabric and just had to get it and instantly I thought of this project I have in one of my books. Obviously, they're only about 1/2-done. But, thought you might enjoy seeing how it's coming along. I still need to do the elastic & hem the pants. The top has a longer way to go - side seams & there will be binding that will go around the front & become the ties...so, stay tuned.

Embroidery Towels



Decided I needed another project while we're watching tv - so, here are a couple of tea towels that I made. It's from a booklet of Death by Chocolate templates. I have been getting better as I've been practicing as you'll notice from the top one (later) to the bottom.
