Small Rooster Wall hanging for Tammy

 My Oldest daughter wants a small wall hanging for her kitchen,when she was here for Spring break she saw this and loved it, so I put it together while at Mom's, I still have to machine quilt it and add the binding.
We all love roosters, so I want one for myself too, hope I can find some more of the roosters.

New Baby Quilt

This fabric was given to me , a couple years ago,it looked like it was for a crib bumper padding as there was a cutting line marked on it between the bears .so I added some yellow ric rack  it is good for a boy or girl.
Then I used a light green thread and did the swirly fancy stitch design on it instead of the straight quilting.

This is the back of the quilt and looks good either way.
I think I will try to sell this and make more as there are always request's for baby quilts .

Finally Done !!!

 This is the quilt I made from the fabric I won a couple years ago, I put the lace trim on it last summer and did not finish it until this week.
 I love how this lace matches the fabric so well and it makes it look so anitque.
 I gave the quilt to this wonderful lady Robin Franklin for her birthday, she has always enjoyed looking at my quilts and has been a great friend, she has done so much for me that I wanted to give her something special and I felt like she deserved this. I know it will get some use from her.
I can see her wrapped up in this with a good book. I cannot express how wonderful and kind this christian woman is, as she is just that.

Tulle Skirts

                     When I made this plain white skirt I wanted to brighten it up, so I use 5 different colors of ribbon ,this is for 6-18 months. I made these to sell at our craft yard sale we are having in May at our Community craft and Yard sale.

A Red skirt -looks better with the white ribbon and flowers



                          This one is pink but looks red

This skirt is for an older girl from 4 and up and is made with a fine tulle and chiffon like fabric.
I have plans to make more in blues, purple, maybe green, yellow and more white.
 More different sizes.
