Sarah's Art Work

   I am so proud of Sarah , I think she did an excellent job for her age ...she just turned 6 Dec. 8th, she said the one tree was done with marbles and paint !

Grandchildren's Gingerbread House

My DIL brought the kit and they helped her to put it together.

Antique Look- Dresden Kitchen Quilts

 While I was at Mom's  we made lots of  Pot Holders , these we copied from a mag. I had gotten at a quilt show for .25 cents ,there was an article about Kitchen Quilts , These here are call Dresden pattern and I used the old fashion look fabric to make them look Antique , I made 12 of these , Mom made about the same of  the flower pattern .
The book below does not show the dresden holder, it is on another page , I forgot to take a picture.
If you look at the book on the top left middle holder the flowers are made with tiny yoyo's ,those will be next .

  Here is a couple flower holders Mom made , she asked me to finish the centers and do the blanket stitching.

Handmade Flower

When my sister and Mom came to get me we decided to stop in at the Fabric Warehouse in Lakeland , we saw a flower similar to this, I asked if I could buy it, they said it was for display, I asked for a pattern , they were out , so when I got to Mom's I decided to try to make one with out a pattern and this is what I came up with .


I had to look at it a long time to remember how it looked like it was put together, I think I came in pretty close.
There is more leaves on the strawberries now though. The pillow is an old one of Mom's, I did not make it for that, it can be used on pillows, handbags or as a hairpiece.
Also the flower is just as pretty without the strawberries.

3 Finished Quilts

 The green in this quilt was from one piece of cloth that had 7 different shades of green, each color was in one long strip.

 This is left over 9 patches from 2 other quilts I made into a table top.

Little Red Button Christmas Tree

I was shown a link to"Oh So Shabby by Debbie Reynolds " on Facebook by our Pastor's wife  .I just loved the all white one, but have not collected enough button's of different ones yet, so I am waiting on that one.
She also had mixed, so I decided to try it in red and this is how it came out .This is very easy and fun to make !

Christmas Stockings

We had fun making these ,the first one is appicade I went and brought some ornaments at walmart and put those on there Mom already had the weath , I was trying to find more ,no luck there.
the others we just did what came to us .I love the 2'Square ones ,I put buttons on the x's in the squares .

This with the lace is like 2 that Mom made for herself last year and my sister Rexa wanted some just like them ,so Mom made 2 for her,the lace on the heal is a real crocheted dollie that we cut up.

This one above is not finished , it was another one of my ideas ,I will be adding more to it, it is for myself so if I don't get it done this year, I will for next year.

These last 4 were for Grandchildren that live next door, I was going to let them decorate them, they took them home, maybe we will get to them soon.

My pictures are not going where I want them to, the quilted square stockings are suppose to be with the last two.
